Today's Essential Question: 

Does might make right?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Journal Topic:

 2nd Amendment - design a law (or justification that no change is needed) in response to the mass shooting in Las Vegas. French Revo stormed the Bastille to get guns...would it have been better if each citizen had a gun? The American Revolution had Minutemen, a militia (citizen army not officially in the actual army) of citizens who needed to possess their own guns to be ready to serve "in a minute"

In addition to all that, the right to possess arms is also a question of keeping the government in check, most all dictators immediately (or systematically) remove a citizen's right to bear arms prior to fully taking over the country. This prevents citizens from fighting back....is that why the French citizens had to storm the Bastille to get weapons????

Prior to answering, look at this site for some reasoned arguments - Gun Control Pro Con

For today...
Introduce the  - Declaration of the Rights of Man  - writing assignment A copy of the Declaration Copy of the actual Declaration of the Rights of Man

Today's Essential Question: 

What were the social and economic characteristics of France in the late 1700's that led to a popular uprising against the king and his aristocracy?__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Journal Topic:

The shrinking middle class in America has been a growing phenomenon over the last 20 years. The financial collapse in 2008 brought this point to the forefront, and since 2008 over 90% of the recovered wealth of that collapse has gone to the top 2%. Wage stagnation, stuck minimum wage, lack of quality jobs with growth potential, 2 income families becoming a must to survive, student debt at an all-time high, etc, have all led to populist movements gaining steam.
(populist - a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people.)

France in the 1700's was still a society based on a feudalistic past, with an established aristocracy that received all the benefits of a society filled with skilled workers and artisans. The "middle class" of France was getting sick and tired of a system that seemed to benefit the top at their expense.

What social policies should be put in place to address these issues: (pick one to write on)
1. Wages (should there be a minimum wage? if so what should it be, and should it be localized to  the cost of living of where it is applied?)
2. College costs (should it be free? if so who and how is it paid for? if there is a cost, how would student loans work?)
3. CEO pay? should there be a limit or let the market /company board decide? Should there be a limit on the % higher the CEO pay is to the average professional employee in the company?
4. Rent control? should there be a limit of rent? if so what would it be based on?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Journal Topic:  (After the Chapter 2 Test, answer this journal Question and start Outlining Chapter 3 Section #1)

Nationalism is becoming a very hot topic with the influx of immigrants around the world (Syrian refugees entering Europe, etc, etc). The subject of immigration has never been more on the forefront of American political thought. During the American Revolution, and the French Revolution, people had to "decide" where their allegiances lay. Many of the colonists were still loyal to England, and that caused a problem. In France, many "heads rolled" as a result of allegiances being questioned (We will see the reasons inside Chapter 3). Looking at our current immigration issue there are 11 million (estimated number)  people who are undocumented in the USA today. What would you do with them if you were the person setting the policy?

Things to consider:

1. Path to citizenship? if what what are the requirements, timeframes, etc

2. Deportation? how would you arrange that and who or what pays for the costs

3. Arrest and detention? time frame, how long, who pays for the cost of incarceration

4. Identification cards? allows undocumented to stay but does not grant amnesty, and do all 11 million get this? if not who qualities?

5. Birth right citizenship question - keep as is or modify

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on July 9, 1868, and granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States,” which included former slaves recently freed. Would you keep that Amendment in place or modify it? if so how?

We will start a timeline of the first 2 chapters and identify key developments
