Happy 225th birthday, US Constitution!


In class for the past couple of days in History, we've been going over assignments and learning how the executive branch was formed. On Friday, the class went over the syllabus and answered any questions someone had. It's definitely a lot easier to hand in assignments on time when you know what's due when! Today, we read a document about the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Hamilton Plan. We then analyzed each of the documents to find answers to questions like how many people have power, how they're elected, how long a term length is, etc. The current executive branch a combination of all three plans along with some changes that none of the plans have, like running for re-election. I think that the most effective plan would be the New Jersey plan because the president(s) would still be impeachable and there's still a defined length of time for the term. Also, happy 225th birthday, US Constitution!
