RAP #16: Which right is right for you? Review your original rankings on the “Alien

Matrix.”Do you still want the same top 5? Why/not?What would be in your top 5 if it wasn’t aliens invading

but instead “real life” where the government announced the order for Rights Council?

How would the decisions regarding which liberties/rights to keep be made as a country if this were a real scenario?○ How would any disagreements be resolved?○ Would a unanimous decision be a reality?

What have you learned about the Bill of Rights during this process (ranking and then reviewing cases)?
