Plato & the US Constitution

You picked up a Chromebook and took out your notebook (for actual note-taking!) as we read through the following:

• Plato (US Constitution Intro)  This simply introduced an important (Ancient Greek) philosopher.  A lot of our American political culture comes from the (Ancient) Greeks & Romans.  The concept of democracy and how we implement (carry it out) it can be traced back to Athens, Greece.

• US Constitution Preamble & Format  For this, you copied the Preamble into your notebook.  We then went through each of the Articles (while you, of course, took notes).  You then used your own words to explain the six purposes of government mentioned in the Preamble.

Hopefully, we got through everything...unless there were some distraction/disruptions.
