cough cough the Louisiana purchase is unconstutional

@toastermuffin ssssshhhh

We don't need to relitigate the Louisiana purchase. Last thing we need here are the fuckin french.

didnt say its a bad thing

Just. Yaknow?

Just don't tell them

😉

The US constitution gives no explicit direction on the acquisition of territory

besides do you really want that land to be part of the British Empire?

no you don't

therefor it is left to the individual states not the goverment

There were no established states in the Louisiana purchase

yes and the land should have ben purchased by individual states not the fed

why? That land was turned over to individual states once they were established
the purchase just secured the land as american

you are not wrong but the goverment was behaving outside of its scope

not saying it was a bad deal

just unconstutional

what part of the constitution did it violate?

since it is not expressly permited to the federal goverment the states reserve said right Amendment X
RIGHTS RESERVED TO STATES OR PEOPLE
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights

and purchase of alaska

DAMN FEDERALISTS

Its not my FAULT

the senate blocked my amendments !

but at least we got Montana

Question that's really a poll:

Do schools in your local area read a book on due process like To Kill a Mockingbird or The Scarlet Letter?

only a few classes and only the honors ones

so you need to be an honour student to be taught about due process?

this explains a lot lol

To Kill a Mockingbird was pretty standard, from what I know.

To Kill A Mockingbird and The Scarlet Letter were pretty standard, but the curricula have been shifting and it's no longer a given people will read any particular book. Just as it has become standard to use *A People's History* as the standard History textbook, I got a hunch a number of school districts have removed these books from the curricula for more contemporaneous and politically-oriented flair.

50 years ago, everyone was required to read *The Federalist Papers,* Now you can't even find humanities college graduates who have read any of them.

And colleges will discipline people for handing out copies of the constitution.

That said, I don't have any data personally on what is being taught at local primary schools.

I've never read either but I did watch *Easy A* with Emma Stone a couple of years ago

@pratel my school required it. I believe that my son's school he will go to later requires it as well

But I'm trying to move him into the GT courses now in elementary school

So I dunno if it changes anything
