During the past two weeks I have been working on finding resources and researching for my project. The three resources I chose were:
Out of the three I think I liked the United States Courts resource the best, and I think I found the most information on that.
Overall I think the research has gone really well and I have found lots of great stuff for my project.
For the 5HE Constitution project I chose the topic Freedom of Speech. I chose that topic because I am interested in learning about why the freedom of speech is so important and the roles it has played throughout history. So I came up with the question, “Why is the Freedom of Speech an important right?” I chose it because it interests me. It’s so cool to think about how much the freedom of speech has done for people, the freedom of speech was important when Martin Luther King Jr. did his speeches. The freedom of speech is a very interesting topic, and I can’t wait to learn more about it.
I think that the Electoral College is a good system. I think it makes sense that the states with higher populations are worth more Electoral votes. I don’t think it would make sense if all the states were worth the same amount of points. Sure its easier to understand that way, but think about it. For example, if both New York and Maine were both worth 25 electoral votes and one candidate won Maine and the other won New York, that wouldn’t be fair. It wouldn’t be fair because you would have to win a lot of people in New York to win that state, but not as much in Maine. So overall I think the Electoral College is a good system.
The Presidential Election of 2020 is today! The two Presidential candidates are Joe Biden (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican). If I could vote I would vote for Joe Biden.
I would vote for him because he acknowledges that inequality between Black people and white people is the result of long-standing laws and policies. As president, he says he would enact policies to close the racial wealth gap, which is a direct result of centuries of racist laws, policies, and practices.
Another reason I would vote for Joe Biden is because Joe Biden has said he believes that climate change is a major threat to the United States and the world. He wants to invest 2.3 trillion dollars in projects to learn more about climate change. He thinks climate change is a problem that needs attention. Unlike Donald Trump, who has questioned how much of an emergency climate change is.
So overall I would vote for Joe Biden. He acknowledges that inequality between Black people and white people is the result of long-standing laws and policies and he thinks climate change is a problem that needs attention. So vote for Joe Biden!
