Summary of Class 9/17-9/18

Our past two days of history class, we've mostly been focusing on the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches. Yesterday we were given a document that that gave a short over view of what the Virginia, New Jersey, and Hamilton plans were about. These plans were created to help shape the type of executive branch that we have today. We then filled out a paper, using our document. This paper had a graph on it and we had to fill in for example whether or not in each plan they could veto a law, or would there be one leader or two, or how long would there term be and would they be able to run for re-election or not. Each plan also had different ideas on the leader/leaders general powers. Today, we were given multiple packets and in one we had to make a cycle of how the branches work together in for example, passing a law. With this information, we then either created a online drawing using easel.ly or we hand drew it in groups.
