The past 2 weeks we have been looking at the United States Constitution.
While we were suppose to look at it as a whole, my students got very wrapped up
in the 3 branches of government.
I have no doubt they would have been right there with our Founding Fathers trying to
make the new nation very different from what was found in England!
Due to the nature of our discussion, our prompt is different from the prompt of the other
third grade classes.
STUDENTS: The following words are the Preamble of our United States Constitution.
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
The men who wrote our Constitution wanted to have "a more perfect union" than what they had
in England.
PROMPT: Based on what we have studied about how the United States government is set up in the Constitution, do you believe we have "a more perfect Union?"
Remember to include:
1. An introduction
2. Your opinion
3. Reasons and evidence for each reasons
4. Your conclusion
5. Your name
** You cannot type your comment until Thursday. All entries from my students that are given before Thursday will be deleted.
I think we do have a strong goverment because we have three branches to keep are country strong.If we did not have a strong goverment another country could just come and take us over and and make us be slaves.But since we have a strong goverment we are free and can do what we want to do and be what we want to be go to colledge or not.So that is why I think we we have a strong goverment.America is a good country to live in because we re free.One of the branches is the legislative branch another is the executive branch we also have a congress.I think we have a strong goverment.That is why I think we have a strong goverment.America rules!wesley lovelave

I belive our goverment is better than a king. In England the king has more power.That the tree was strat but the goverment tree was 3 branchs of goverment so they like that some poeple didn't agree so they vote. Which way shoud the tree whoud look like they way the goverment's tree they rote the Constitution to let other people keep trake the first tree was executive branch the next one is the legislative branch and the therd one is the judicial branch that is the three branches of goverment. by Hayden.H
ReplyDeleteI belive that we have a more perfect unon. In Egland the king has all the power because people voted for a leader but some people didn't like this idea because it was to much like having a king. Many people didn't want a strong govermant because they wanted to stay free. This time they knew they needed a strong govermant. Thats why I think we have a more perfect govermant.

ReplyDelete. i belive we have a more perfect union In England the king has all the power. In America we have three branch. The first branch is called the legislative branch. the legislative branch makes laws. The second branch they planed was the executive branch. Today in executive branch, many departments help carry out the laws made by the congress. The third branch of the goverment was the judicial branch. When it was first planed, it was only the Supreme court. That is why I belive. Lilly Allen

ReplyDeleteI belive that we have a more perfect union because in England one person has all the power. But in america we have a guverment and we have freedom to vote or go were we want. kyson
ReplyDeleteI believe we do have a better union. In England the has all of the power. And we have freedom. In England they are ruled by a king and they are not free. We have a president that tells us what to do. For many years a king ruled America, the people didn't think it was right to have a king. They had a war. They won so they had a president instead. The first branch was the legislative branch. The second branch is the Congress. The last branch is called the executive branch. That is why I believe we have a better union.
