3. 三 How Do You Amend Your Constitution?
We did not get to see Mr. Deutsch’s totally rad flowchart on how to amend the Florida Constitution. We’re going to jump off topic now to handle that. If you have page 5 from Friday, please get it out now.

4. 四 On the level article and active participation check
We will be reading using the fill in the blank method. This is an active listening method that requires you to read aloud whenever the teacher pauses. Let’s try the first sentence as an example: “Can you name the President of the United States?” You may also underline or highlight if it will help you.

6. 四 On the level article and active participation check
Please answer with a maru or a batsu for these questions. Do you remember maru and batsu?

7. 四 On the level article and active participation check
Federalism promotes a strong central government and gives little power to any other level of government. (BATSU—Federalism is the division of powers among a central government and smaller regional governments).

8. 四 On the level article and active participation check
The founders of our country were against federalism and did not include it in the Constitution. (BATSU—Even though some people opposed federalism, it ultimately offered the best compromise between state and federal power).

9. 四 On the level article and active participation check
The people who wrote the Constitution were influenced by their experiences as colonists and fighting the Revolutionary War. (MARU—There were many influences on the founding fathers, but their experiences as colonists were very important).

10. 四 On the level article and active participation check
The Constitution of the United States established a central, federal government, with clearly outlined powers. (MARU—This is the main focus of the U.S. Constitution—the establishment of the federal government).

11. 四 On the level article and active participation check
The Constitution defines very specific powers for the states. (BATSU—the Constitution gives all powers not enumerated to the federal government to the states, but does not clearly outline the powers given to the states).

12. 四 On the level article and active participation check
The word “delegate” means to take from or to take away. (BATSU—To delegate means to assign).

13. 四 On the level article and active participation check
The reason the federal government has “inherent powers” is so it can interact with other nations. (MARU—The Constitution was mainly concerned with how the federal government would handle domestic issues, so it enumerated very few diplomatic/foreign issues).

14. 四 On the level article and active participation check
Powers that are denied to the states are held by local governments. (BATSU—Powers that are denied to the states are held by no one or by the federal government alone).

15. 四 On the level article and active participation check
The power to establish local governments is held by the states. (MARU—State constitutions are responsible for enumerating powers held by local governments.)

16. 四 On the level article and active participation check
Each state’s constitution sets up local governments slightly differently. (MARU—Because states are free to create their own local governments, each state does this in a slightly different way.)

17. Please follow along, writing on the guided notes worksheet.
