– Draft a Paragraph answering the question!
Use RACES: Restate, Answer, Cite evidence, Explain and elaborate, Sum it up.
Claim/topic sentence must be formed from the essential question: The Constitution has three parts and each part has a different purpose.

4. What are the parts and purposes of the Constitution?
The Constitution has three parts and each part has a different purpose. The first part is the Preamble. The Preamble states the goals and purpose of our government and the Constitution. The second part of the Constitution is the seven Articles. Articles one through three describe the responsibilities and powers of the three branches of government. The fourth explains federalism and how to amend the Constitution is covered in the fifth. Provisions of government and ratification are explained in Articles four through seven. The third part of the Constitution are the Amendments which contain the Bill of Rights and changes made from 1795 to 1992 in eleven through twenty-seven. After the Articles of Confederation proved to be ineffective, the Founding Fathers met in 1787 and replaced them with framework for a strong central government known as the Constitution. To protect the individual from government and to get ratification, the Bill of Rights were added in The Constitution is the blue print on which the USA conducts itself.

5. Essential Question #3
Handbook section 2 notes
Indent, topic sentence/claim, The Constitution protects its citizens from tyranny.
What does the Constitution contain which protects the citizens from tyranny?
1. Supreme law of the land
2. power from the people
3. Federalism
4. Power split into 3 branches:
A executive
B legislative
C judicial
The Constitution protects the citizens from tyranny.
Evidence of each protection
Warrant or conclusion

6. What does the Constitution contain which protects US citizens from tyranny?
Having the Constitution as the supreme law of the land protects the US citizens from tyranny. No one person or no branch or office of government has absolute power. The power of government comes from the consent of the people through the voting process. To stop emotions or mob formation from detracting or interfering with how society functions, elected delegates represent their constituents or voters. Power is divided between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches . It is also split between state and national governments in a system known as federalism. By allowing each branch to check the powers of the others, no branch can seize power for itself and rule over the people. The clarity of laws and the Bill of Rights also guarantee the citizens freedom and stops any one person from seizing power. Consequently, a republic is less likely to suffer from tyranny when the rights of the people overrule the powers of any office in any branch of our government.  

7. Essential Question #4 Handbook section 3 notes
Topic/claim from question
What are the roles of the three branches of government?
Executive
Legislative
House
Senate
Judicial
Form a declarative statement from the question.
Evidence for each branch’s job description
Warrant/conclusion

8. What are the roles of the three branches of government?
For 227 years the United States has been governed by three branches of powers which oversee the working government as described in the Constitution. The executive branch is led by the President with the role of manager. The President and his cabinet and bureaucracy carry out the laws and conduct the workings of government. As commander and chief of the armed forces, the President is the highest ranking officer and a civilian to inhibit a military coup. The executive branch may suggest laws to help run the government or veto laws that do not assist the bureaucratic effectiveness. As a republic the branch of government most connected to the people is the bicameral legislative branch. The House of Representatives and members of the Senate make the laws and are in charge of government spending or budget. They also watch for any wrong doing in the executive and judicial branches with the power to impeach any member for wrong doing. Protecting the Constitution and determining the proper order of executing the laws is the judicial branch. The courts interpret the laws and protect the rights of the people by clarifying the actions the government may take to guarantee the citizens’ rights to life, liberty, and happiness. As the Constitution has adapted to changes, the elastic clause allows it the flexibility to do what is needed and proper. The courts also review decisions and use precedent to keep the changes on the course the Founding Fathers intended the role government to be.

9. Essential Question #5 Notes to answer essential ?
Your Paragraph – best penmanship!
What are the duties and responsibilities of the citizen in our government?
Duties – punishment or consequences if citizens do not follow the laws, pay taxes, or attend school.
Responsibilities – the things citizens should do to make the country a great place.
Claim or topic sentence
US citizens have duties and responsibilities.
Evidence to explain the differences in duties and responsibilities.
Warrant/claim – how do these influence our government?

10. What are the duties and responsibilities of the citizen in our government?
As a republic, the USA depends on an educated population to make sure the government is working for the best interests of the people. US citizens have duties and responsibilities in government. The duties of the people are required to follow the laws, pay taxes, defend the nation during war, serve on juries, and attend school. If they fail any duties they face some type of punishment or consequence. These duties are vital in keeping society running safely and efficiently. The responsibilities of citizens are not punishable, but make society run smoother. Responsibilities of citizens are to respect diversity and the rights of others and to vote. Perhaps the most important responsibilities are to be well informed when selecting our government leaders and to be willing to participate in government. The only way a republic can survive to protect the people is to have public interested and informed about how government is administered. When the people stop caring, when they do not follow through on their duties and responsibilities, chaos and corruption will result in government and the rights of the people become endangered.

11. Essential Question #2 – interpreting and application of knowledge
Apply the question to your family or current event.
Just because you have a right, doesn’t mean it is absolute.
When do the rights of one interfere with the rights of others?
Underline the Constitutional parts you mention in the paragraph.
Pick a topic:
Freedom of speech, religion, bear arms….when do these have restrictions?
Freedom of the press.
Eminent domain

12. When do the rights of one interfere with the rights of others?
During the 1920s and 1930s, H.G. Williams owned a farm in Vineyard, Utah. He was close to his two brothers and they saved money by sharing equipment and helping each other with building, planting, harvesting, and repairs. Once WWII began the defense department needed steel for armored weapons and an interior state as a defensible location for steel making. Once Utah was selected, the government notified H. G. Williams that his farm was located at the site chosen for the steel mill.
His right to own property, was sacrificed for the common defense of the country. The government can seize private land for the public good. The rights of one infringed upon rights of others. But the Founding Fathers also thought to protect citizens like HG Williams. According to the fifth amendment of the Constitution, the term "eminent domain," H.G. Williams was paid the fair market value for his property. The rights of all people interfered with the right to own property for another.
