1. This does not support my debate. I think we should have capital punishment.

2. It was correct to stop it on grounds that something was wrong with the court case.

Some of these laws just make you wonder what happened to make the state make that law. Yes, when you think about it, some make sense. Others are just so crazy that its funny. I think the craziest one is Florida's, because how would they fine the women if they're dead?

Bellringer 10/28

1. They are seeking the death penalty because he saved himself from being on the sinking ship instead of helping the school children that were on the ship.

2. I disagree with them attempting to give him the death penalty. That is just getting him off the hook for abandoning all those people. Although, if it was his fault and he was only being selfish, then maybe he should get the death penalty.

3. I believe the death penalty should definitely be allowed for certain things. I think people that really do horrible things deserve to rot in prison, not get "let off" and recieve the death penalty.

1- They make a bicameral legislature for practical, theoretical and historical reasons.

2- It is a legislature made up of two houses.

3- The term is how long they are in office, but the session is when they conduct business.

4- When they adjourn a session, they suspend until next session. A recess is when they temporarily suspend business.

3- There aren't as many representatives in single-member districts.

4- To create "safe" districts.

Presidentual Report Card

Presidential Report Card

Name of President: Andrew Johnson

Number of Presidency: 17th

Years in Office: 4 years (1 term)

In the following ten categories, grade your president from an A to an F. (You may “acknowledge” border-line grades with a – or a +). You will need to give a 50 word justification as to why your candidate scored as they did.

 

   I gave him great grades for the most part because I believe he tried very hard at being President. After President Lincoln died, he tried his best to get America to get back to "normal." I believe he was an admirable president because he obviously had strength and tried hard to help America cope with the loss of Abraham Lincoln.

Category	Grade	Comments
Ability to handle and deal with a crisis	A+	He was the guy who took over Presidentcy after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
Ability to work with Congress and Cabinet	A	He obviously worked very well with Congress and the Cabinet to reign in America after the assassination.
Character and Integrity	A	He had to have a lot of character to make sure the police caught John Wilkes Booth.
Education	A+	Even though he was formerly a tailor shop owner, he was a champion at politics in Tennessee.
Empathy	A	He had to have had empathy for America after the loss of Abraham Lincoln.
Foreign Policy	B	I'm not sure if there was much foreign affairs going on at the time. At least, there was none mentioned.
Relates to the common man	A-	He definitely would because he was formerly a tailor before getting into politics. Although, he was viewed as a traitor to the South.
Persuasiveness	C	Somehow he had managed Tennessee to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment; after two violent riots.
Political Experience	A+	He had a lot of previous experience because he was one of the best people for debate.
Public speaking & Communication	A+	He was a champion at debation.

1. This doesn't surprise me at all. Nothing of this sort is private.

2. Very little privacy exists, if any.

Bellringer 10/10

If she wants to take her own life, she should. Although I highly disagree with this, if she wants to do it, let her. People have their own free will, so why not allow her to do what she wants. If she is conscious and is willing to kill herself, it would be suicide. If it's without her 100% consent, it would be euthanasia. I would be distraught, but I wouldn't kill myself. I would hope they would cure my disease before I would kill myself.

Bellringer 10/9

1. Obviously, the regions love food and are more rich in economy.

2. Yeah I would. I love meat and it would be free. What's better than that?

Bellringer 10/8

2. I'm definitely not surprised. There are countless restaraunts where the make their waitresses dress inapproriately to try and lure in more customers; waitresses follow this to recieve more tips. This is obviously a reason for sexual harrassment.

3. There has to be something done. Either a law or something so the waitresses could dress more appropriately and then, the restaraunts would get even more businesses and maybe par their waitresses better.

4. They should make it to where waitresses can wear something preservative and get paid a bit more so they don't have to worry about sexual harrasment.

Bellringer 10/6

1. I think they are trying to find out what people want to see on their news feed.

2. They need to find a way to stop it.

Bellringer 10/3

1. I believe so.

2. Most likely, yes. I'm sure the Supreme Court has dealt with cases like this.

3. I think its kind of stupid for the city to require people to pay just to live there.

Bellringer 10/2

1. They aren't as worried because it is hard to catch the disease.

2. The Influenza, Measles, and the Norovirus is what they believe we should be afraid of. They are curable.

3. My only personal concern is that scientists won't take this disease seriously, and the disease will end up like the Black Plague.

Bellringer 10/1/14

1. He should not be, because he is expressing his right to freedom of religion. You are allowed to express your religion publicly.

2. The First Amendment's Freedom of Religion.

3. People should think of it like this, anyone should be eligible to practice their freedom. Especially the freedom of religion. Everyone is able to practice their faith, and I applaud him for doing so in public; most people probably would be too afraid of persecution to do so.

1. This case would change a lot of things. It would change how people are accused of rape the most. People wouldn't have to fight their innocence as much due to the fact that they said yes.

2. It would be harder because if the other person says yes, it wouldn't be as easy.
