  2. Political parties were not originally or currently apart of the constitution, in 1796 George Washington even warned against them. Parties evolved from differing options on how they believed the government should run. They converted the electoral collage Into a "rubber stamp" to nominate and vote for presidents. "The USA is in many ways government though party"

    1. Good. Gay marriage is not a part of the constitution of the United States, but is a part of some state constitutions.

    1. There's no way the parties could dissolve because everyone has different opinions of how the government should be run.

  6. Custom Usage:
    Miranda Lynn Huff, Cj Boyd, Aaron Schwaurtz
    There is a difference between uncostintional and not constitutional. Uncostintional goes against the constitution, and not constitutional is something that isn't mentioned in the constitution. For example George Washington refused to serve a third term. Many presidents after that followed his lead except for Franklin Roosevelt. He served a third term, after that it became a custom rule that presidents only serve two terms. This rule was later added to the constitution.

  7. Supreme court decisions: Group 3 Cedar,Kim, Amber.

    Summary: Supreme court can make changes to the constitution based on court cases they have seen and affect many people.

    Question: what is the most notable supreme court case that has made an impact on the constitution?
    Answer: Marbury Vs. Madison

    Example: Roe v. Wade
    (9th Amendment, right to privacy) A texas woman challenged a state law forbidding the artificial termination of a pregnancy, saying that she "had a fundamental right to privacy." The court upheld a woman's right to choose in this case, noting that the State's "important and legitimate interest in protecting the potentiality of human life" became "compelling" at the end of the first trimester, and then before then, "...the attending physician , in consultation with his patient, is free to determine, without regulation by the state, that... The patient's pregnancy should be terminated." The decision struck down the State regulation of abortion in the first three months of pregnancy an was modified by "Planned Parenthood of Southeastern PA v. Casey, 1992."

  9. Group 2. How does executive action formally amend the constitution?
    Summary: an executive order is the directive, rule, or regulation issued by a chief executive or subordinates, based upon constitutional or statuary authority and having the force of law.
    Question:Would you issue an executive order to provide relief to some or all 11 million undocumented immigrants if the House fails to pass a bill?
    Example:The President makes an executive agreement with another country instead of a formal treaty.
