Today we went over the maps for our map test Wednesday and Thursday. The Supreme Court declares laws constitutional or unconstitutional. We talked about how the Supreme Court is having a discussion this week about marrage of same-sex couples. Then we talked about 9/11. 9/11 had impacts on the US. It affected us economically and more than 2,000 people were killed. This made the security tougher. The patriot act was made which makes security able to look through personal stuff of people who are suspected to be terrorists. It affected people mentally so they were more aware of what was happening in our country. It led to the war in Afghanistan and water boarding. Al-quada is the world wide terrorist organization. Osama bin-Landen was born March 10, 1957 to his father's 10th wife in Saudi Arabia. His parents got divorced. He was around the 17th child of 50 children. Bin-Laden's father was close to rich people so he inherited a lot of money which he used to buy weapons. His family pretty much disowned him. Seal team 6 came in and shot him 2-3 times on May 1st. The US went to war in Afghanistan in 2001 basically due to 9/11. The US has asked the taliban to capture bin-laden but they kinda kept him safe.
