Update Nov. 20

Bellwrite: Where did government come from? Who created it and why? When would it be appropriate to revolt against your government?

Student passed off their memorization of John 8:31-34. They were assigned to begin working on their next memorization (D&C 134). We will first work on verses 1-6.

We reviewed the history of the Glorious Revolution, clarifying the succession of the monarchy and the role of parliament. Students should know the following people/ideas:

• Divine Right of Kings theory
• James I
• Charles I
• Commonwealth
• Cromwell
• English Restoration
• Charles II
• James II
• Glorious Revolution
• William and Mary
• Absolute monarchy
• Constitutional monarchy
• English Bill of Rights
• Separation of Powers

We then studied Glorious Revolution Topic 3: Locke on Government.

Homework:

• Read Les Miserables through page 296. We will have a reading quiz tomorrow.
• Make sure you have read Putin's article (from Writing Portfolio), and that you have begun to research whether or not the U.S. Constitution is exceptional. How does it compare to other significant national constitutions?
• Work on memorizing D&C 134:1-6.
