At the beginning of class we went over the countries and capitals map again. Once that was done we moved on to the current events of the day. But before that Mr. Bruns talked to us about what we need to do tomorrow while he is gone. He said we will be taking a Political Spectrum Test. This test will apparently tell us if we are more authoritarian or more libertarian and if we lean more on the democratic side or the republican side. Then we went back to the current events. The first event was the Missouri state legislature legalizing machine guns. Then we talked about the Articles of Confederation which was our first type of government before we had a president. This article pretty much said that states had more of a say on there laws and examples were like every country had there own currency. The people back then decided that if we kept the country this way it would not be around long. So to fix this problem the U.S. Constitution was formed and now this said that the federal government has more power than the state now. The latest thing happening is Syria is that Mr. Obama came on the TV and said that there is solid evidence the Syrian regimens did fire off gas into 11 Syrian neighborhoods.
