well ANDY told use that the ways that most of the things we do on christmas and new years is the typical american way of life. on christmas we open gifts an be with a bunch of family an have a good time by ether getting drunk or going out to other family members house. for new years american ether go to watch the ball drop in the city or ether to stay waya from alot of people they watch the ball drop on tv. then as soon as the ball drop every body go get drunk or pop open a bottle of egg nog.
my christmas was american we did everything that americans do open gift give hugs to our family members an say thanks for buying this for me. then ether go to another family member house to eat dinner.
my new years was sorta not american because every body in my house was sleep while the ball dropped so i went to my friends house an ate pizza. we didnt drink we just hung out like it was a normal day

BIG PAPER
Andy has me thinking real diffrent about america now.
1: if you analyze the fact that a crowd of people bum rushed a few staff members in walmart just to save money and spend less on a few items.
that makes america seem like cave men because they act like savages just to save money. that also tells you that american people will kill just for money. all it is a a piece of paper with dead presidents on it. but thats is how everbody is raised, to make money an basicly money so called bring you power. so with money you have power.
this paper is based on how money can over power people and run a whole country. every time your read the newspaper or watch the news it always says money this money that we lost money we gained money. america is getting greedy. everybody has there own excuses to why the do what they do for money but the main thing is greed an how the people want power like i said before if your have money you have the power.
like biggie said "mo money mo problems" which basicly means with the more money your get the more responsiblity you will have to deal with.

CONSTITUITION PART C
Does the 14th combined with the earlier "no religious test" clause guarantee a vision of a diverse and equitable society with no government discrimination?
the fourteenth amendment states that there can’t be laws made to go against the lives, liberty, and property of citizens, and the no religious test clause states that a person’s religion wont stop them from being able to hold a spot in office in the United States. this amendment was mad for the black slaves to be equal to every body even the white slave owners. the only people that the amendment didnt take care was the females. but later on it did.
Amendments 12, 13, 14, & 15 are often referred to as a major turning point in US government policy. Explain the importance of these amendments
these 4 amendments were very important to america an slavery at the time. this an the civial rights movement was a big push for blacks equality. the 14th amendment which states that laws can’t be made that rob people of their lives and freedom, the 15th states that all everybody can vote doesnt matter which color. this is when the government tried to work on equilty for the country it worked.

CONSTITUTION PART B
What do the 6th & 7th Amendments show about US fears of a bad government which would use its powers to unfairly arrest and convict innocent people?
According to the constitution, the sixth amendment states that any body who is accused of committing a crime is allowed to request a prompt and public trial within the district, if the person accused is found guilty, they have to be told what the consequences for their crime will be in front of the witness who testified against them during the trial. The sixth amendment also states that the person accused has to be given the right to a lawyer who will represent them in the case. In the seventh amendment, it states that in all lawsuits that are based on common law, those who are involved have a right to be tried by a jury, and that the jury must have no biased views of the case and those involved, so they’re deciding who is innocent and who is guilty just by the facts they know about the case. the gov't uses its power to convict innocent people. the 2 people who are involved in the case are innocent untill proven guilty. an which shows that they are equal.
What is the Supreme Law of the Land? What is the significance, in your opinion, of the “No religious test” clause?
In the constitution, it is stated that the supreme law of the land is that all of the decisions are made under the authority of the United States of America. It states that there are no religious tests in order for a person to qualify for any job in the office in the US. i like this because it doesnt matter what type of relgion u are you should be able to persue any carrer you want. this shows that america doesnt look at what your believe in. america shows that everybody has a chance to live a life.
Is the 4th Amendment contradicted by MTA, library, and/or airport searches?
According to the constitution, the fourth amendment states that the government is not allowed to search a person’s house or take a person’s items with a good reason and/or a warrant. that is a good thing because if they didnt need a warrant then they would go to everybodys house an find things that they dont want anybody to see. but what the government doesnt tell you is that even though you think there not watching you an your house/ items they actully are when your gone an nobodys at your house they might be lookin through your stuff. like at the air port they go thorugh your things that is a excuse just for them to go through your things while you know bout it.
The “Full Faith & Credit” provision in Article 4. What does that mean for gay marriage?
Article four in the constitution states that congress is responsible for letting each state have their own laws and legal actions, this means that each state can have laws and actions that are different from other states, so what applies in cali, doesn’t necessarily have to apply in new york. which means that every state has a right to make up a few rules of there own. like gay marriage in some states apply. if they live in that state an get married that is allowed to get married only in that state an cant leave that state an expect to still be married. not every state in the U.S has gay marrage laws.
