Why would congress amend the US Constitution? How do you Amend the Constitution?
The reason why the congress o=would amend the constitution is to created ne laws with the amendments.
to amend the constitution there are two ways one is for a bill to pass both houses of the legislature and atkeast 2/3 majority in each. After the bill has passed both houses, it goes to the states.
the other way is for a Constitutional Convention to be called by at least 2/3 of the legislatures of the States, and for that Convention to propose one or more amendments. the amendments are then sent to the states to be approved by atleast 3/4 of the legislatures or conventions.

Homework # 7
Write 2 Paragraphs answering the following questions:
Do you think Direct democracy could work in the United States? why or why not? Do you think representative democracy is working in America today? If America was a direct democracy how would people react towards government? what would live be like? What is the perfect government for you?
I personaly think that Direct democracy can't work on the United States because the united states is over populated and because people are not the most average people are not very smart. To explain the United States is full of people and in a direct democracy people are the ones that actually decide for the laws. In the United States there are over 308 Million people just imagen how long it would take for a law to be pass also because average people don't think thing and they would vote for stupid things also if it was a decition for everybody to make there would mostlikely be chaos because people are nasty beens we are racist and selfish creatures so only a few should govern and look out for the rest.
So far I think that the representative democracy in The United States is working because only the elite are choosen and are allowed to rule representatives although humans themselves and selfish they are the best suited and for that reason I believe that they can make a change and make the country better. although from my point of view there is no thing as a perfect government however I Believe that the representative democracy is a great type of government because the powers are share among the choosen few who are smart enough of best suited to rule.

Homework # 6
We have studied Thomas Hobbes and John Locke's philosophical ideas; in 1 paragraph write down which philosophical idea, gives the best reasons why humans agree to a social contract.
I choose John locke's ideas because I to some agree with him in that every body is equal and that we have natural rights or the phrase in the American Declaration of Independence; "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Locke thought that the government should have a separation of power. John Locke's conception of the social contract differed from Thomas Hobbes in some way but they agreed in some the people when with something in common can created a state and that to protect their life, liberty and rights and that to do so they can can have a neutral state.
