Title: Marbury vs. Madison
Date: September, 30 2008
By: Melvin I. Urofsky
This case was decided in 1803 by the U.S. Supreme Court. William Marbury had been commissioned justice of the peace in the District of Columbia by President John Adams in the “midnight appointments” "One of the first acts of the new administration was to repeal the Judiciary Act of 1800, which had created a number of new judgeships. Although President Adams had attempted to fill the vacancies prior to the end of his term, a number of commissions had not been delivered, and one of the appointees, William Marbury, sued Secretary of State James Madison to force him to deliver his commission as a justice of the peace."
The effect of this case was that it began with the changing of presidential administrations. This particular election would in effect would be the first change of political power.

Blog reflection
Article: http://yayahumanities.blogspot.com/
Date: 9-24-08
By: Yaya
something I'm proud of is that i actually did my work on time and that i completed my work. I'm also proud of the writing that I did because I am not use to writing things and connect it to an article. Now i know how to do it I can get better and actually use that for all my writing in the future.
What would you like to improve on your blog? Why? How?
Something i will improve on in the future is my writing part, because i didn't really write as much. I will also improve on my spelling. I will try and use bigger words to sound more professional.
How can we better connect our class' blogs?
I can probably connect it to the class blogs by reading more of my classmates blogs and try to kind of agree or disagree toward what they are taking about. I can also connect it by reading more about their article and try to add more to what they are trying to say.

Constitutional Crisis
Article: When a big power acts Impunity
by: Martin Khor
Date: 9-17 -2008
This article talks about how George W. Bush secretly approved orders for the first time to allow the US special forces to carry out ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government.The US has also increased missile attacks launched from helicopters at Pakistan villages suspected to house terrorists but the UN Security Council and the Human Rights Council would surely join in the condemnation and be prepared to take action. This should not be George W. Bush's job because he is not part of the congress. He is part of the executive branch, and to declare war you need to be part of the congress.

Declaration of Independence current event
Article:President Bush's Bad Reputation
Author: Jim Axelrod
Date: September, 15 2008
I chose this article to compare it to the Declaration because in the first page it talks about how the king of Great Britain is an absolute tyrant over Great Britain and how the state is exposed to all dangers of invasions. In the article it talks about how George W. Bush just want to look good by going to other parts of the world to help out poor people and how he goes to Southeast Asia and tries very hard to win over his hosts. He played native instruments, watched native dancers and even tried on native clothes. It also talks about how he has sent a lot of people to war and has killed them by sending them over there. This to people show a great example of how people with great power destroy the world.

Human Rights
Title: 9/11 Seven Years Later: Civil, Human Rights Needed for All
Author: Lynda Lin
Date: September, 11 2008
This article is about a 40-year-old former Muslim Army that spent less than a year in the U.S. detention center Yee was accused for both a minister to the prisoners and an accused terrorist spy. Five years have past and Yee, a West Point graduate and third generation Chinese American, was arrested Sept. 10, 2003, and accused of espionage by his own government. Yee has written a book about his ordeal, traveled all over the U.S. to lecture about human rights abuses, and recently helped nominate a Democratic presidential candidate as a delegate in Denver. I chose this Article because it talks about human rights and that happened to him for not following the rules.

Federalist and the Anti- Federalist
Title: What Would Alexander Hamilton Think of Today's Market
Author: Brian A. Davis
Date: September, 9 2008
The Federalists were those who supported the ratification of the Constitution and the creation of a stronger centralized government. The Anti-Federalist movement was essentially those who opposed to ratification of the Constitution.
Today many people are struggle ling with the bills because of the Federal backstoping at the tax payer's expense. The largest debtor nation in history to pay the bills may decide to invest somewhere else. Malfeasance and moral hazzard be darned. And I am certain that the Anti-Federalist Jefferson is turning over in his grave!
