Update Jan. 10

By today, you should have completed all the questions for the Montesquieu reading (American Founding Topic 4).  You should have also read in Pride and Prejudice through page 32.

Bellwrite: How is Elizabeth different from Jane? Which of the two are you more like? How?

During the first hour, we discussed the reading from Pride and Prejudice.

During the second hour, we reviewed the Montesquieu assignment. We then began discussing theories of constitutional interpretation. We used some of the following clips to enhance our discussion.
