You should become Jeffersonian Republicans
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
"it" being which book?
The two you mentioned
To kill a mockingbird and scarlet letter
