Do Now• Read over the first amendment (from yesterday’s packet).
What does it mean? Write down an example of something the first amendment allows you the freedom to do.
INTERPRETATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONWhat are ways to interpret the constitution?
Interpretations• There are different views on how to read the Constitution:
① Originalism• Attempts to figure out the original meaning and purpose of the
document
② Living Constitution• Interprets Constitution in a flexible manner, to fit contemporary
times
LEGISLATION SIMULATIONHow does a bill become a law?
Checks and Balances• Gives each branch a way to check/control the other
branch.
• Prevents one branch from having too much power.
Checks and Balances: Example• A bill becoming a law:
• Bill introduced into the House or Senate.• Needs majority vote.• Must go through same process in other house.• Bill goes to President.• He signs it- bill becomes a LAW• President vetoes- bill goes back to Congress.• Congress can override with 2/3rd vote and bill becomes a LAW.• Supreme Court can interpret the law and declare the law
unconstitutional (Judicial Review).
Legislation Simulation• Read over the directions and see if you have any
questions
