Audible Tone: Why is Fed 10 the most important reading in an American Government classroom? There are many legitimate arguments for this.
We will continue on with the Presidential debates from Tuesday. Add more points, arguments impressions, etc... to your paper from Tuesday. Audible Tone: What is your impression of the debates so far?
Today is FED 10 day!!!!!! Read #9 in the Lanahan book (It is also in the back of your Textbook page A21). This is Federalist #10 by James Madison found on page 49 (or your textbook). After reading the article, you are to briefly explain Madison’s argument and say whether you feel that our present system of two political parties would satisfy him or not. Focus on your own analysis, not on the summary. I read the article also, so you do not have to tell me much about it. I want to see what you think about Madison’s arguments and how they apply today. Use at least two examples (write the page number) from the article to support your position as well as outside information. This should be somewhere in the range of a 1-2 page written response. Do in class or finish for homework. 15 points. Audible Tone: What are the major reasons for the colonists declaring independence?
