pros/cons

pros
they get bigger before they start playing
they listen better
they will catch on twice as quick
helps stay in shape
can concentrate with school better
meet friends
have fun wont be as fragile
will fully learn before starting
fights young injurys


cons

less time with friends
less time outside

    
Madate a new policy where a child may not play football till they are twelve years old? I think its stupid i dont agree with it. I beileve that the younger you start football the better you get. but it is a good thing because kids are fragile when there young and need towait a couple years till they start so they can gain a little wieght. if you start later the kids might listen better and catch on better. either way you look at it the kids meet new friends when they play football or any sport.

yes                                                                                                       no
to protect thereselves                                                                           stupid people will misuse them
because we have a right to bear arms                                                  more poeple would get killed
less crime                                                                                             more murders
tested in 200 collages                                                                           people would be scared to go out

2.) Freedom of: Religion, Speech, Assembly, Press, and Petition.

3.) In today's completely digital society it seems a lot harder to keep your privacy with a lot of things. There are numerous social sites that, for one, allow you to expose anything you want whenever you want and in some cases, anyone in the world almost can access that information. Computers and social sites aren't the only things that make this current time one for all to see, newer and better recording devices, microphones, cameras, chips, everything has been invented that could ever steal information or invade privacy. Technology isn't the main thing to blame here though, people who know what to do and what they need to get certain information also know how work the new technology sometimes for very negative purposes. With all the technological advances and the way more and more people are thinking now.

4.) The Patriot Act of October, 2001, is an acronym that stands for Uniting Strengthening America Providing Appropriate Tools Required Intercept Obstruct Terrorism Act. This act was put into play by President Bush on October 26, 2001. The Patriot Act was initially one of the responses to the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers. This act gave law enforcement agencies' gathering of intelligence within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities, and many other changes to the system. In a nutshell, this act gave more power to the big people in charge and allowed them to be more in depth with the people they deal with they can get in your business and you can't do a whole lot about it because of the Patriot Act put in to play and the fact that no one wants another incident like 9-11.

5.) I do in a way think that the Patriot Act does indeed violate the first amendment in a couple different ways, but I also think it's necessary. I don't like the fact that it gave so much more  to the people in charge, but on the other hand, if they weren't like that and had that not started we could have had another attack or something worse. I think that its either in violation of or defending the first amendment and that's just depends on the person at hand. It's a scary thought to know that the government or certain agencies can get information on you and essentially learn everything about your privacy in a matter of minuets, but for all the potential terrorists out there, I'm glad it exists and that we have it.

i think the man should find the woman and tell her how he feels face to face its better and more romantic amnd most wemon like it better when you spill your heart in person

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Section. 3.

my debate with thomas jefferson

My differences with Thomas Jefferson are that I am a federalist and he is an antifederalist. I was the second president of the united states of america and jefferson was the second. I was the first vice president of the united states of america while jefferson was the first secortary of the state. I lived to be 90 years old while jefferson only lived to be 83. Jefferson was the govener to virgina while i was never a govener.

John Adams federalist

I am John Adams. I was 52 years old in 1787. I am a federalist. I was in London serving as a diplomat for his young country in 1787.  I wrote and published A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America in three volumes. The American edition was published the same year in New York and Philadelphia. The work occurs in the middle of his career and reflects the depth of thought that our founders engaged in while building a new country.  I explores and encourages others to read the writings of philosophers and sages from all ages: Machiavel, Sidney, Locke, Harrington, Milton, Ponnet, the Vindiciae contra Tyrannos, Hoadley, Trenchard, Gordon, and Plato Redivivus.
Early in 1778, after nearly four years service in Congress, I was sent to France to help secure French aid. Subsequently, I was sent to The Hague to obtain a much needed loan and to open commerce. In 1781, together with Franklin, John Jay, and Henry Laurens, I was part of the commission of American diplomats that negotiated the Treaty of Paris, the pact that brought an end to the War of Independence. I returned home once during the war, a brief sojourn from July until November 1779, during which time he helped draft the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780.
Adams remained in Europe following the war. From 1784 to 1785, I served on a diplomatic mission whose goal was to arrange treaties of commerce with several European nations. In 1785, he became the first United States minister to England. During 1784, I had been joined by his wife, whom he had not seen for five years. She was accompanied to Europe by the Adams's daughter, "Nabby." Their sons, Charles, Thomas Boylston, and John Quincy, spent these years in the United States completing their schooling.
By the end of the American Revolution,I had earned a solid reputation as a patriot who had served his country at considerable personal sacrifice. I was known as a brilliant and blunt-spoken man of independent mind. I additionally acquired a reputation for the essays he published during the 1770s and 1780s. His "Thoughts on Government" (1776) argued that the various functions of government—executive, judiciary, and legislative—must be separated in order to prevent tyranny. I Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America (1787) presented I thinking that the greatest dangers to any polity came from unbridled democracy and an unrestrained aristocracy capable of becoming an oligarchy. The antidote to these dangers was a strong executive. I spoke of this powerful executive as the "father and protector" of the nation and its ordinary citizens, for this person was the sole official with the independence to act in a disinterested manner. In 1790, I expanded on this theme in a series of essays for a Philadelphia newspaper that were ultimately known as "Discourses on Davila." Many contemporaries mistakenly believed that they advocated a hereditary monarchy for the United States.
