AP Government--Week 2

This week we've read from John Locke's Second Treatise on Civil Government and Thomas Jefferson's landmark document The Declaration of Independence. We've begun to identifywhat government is and how it's arranged. We've explored the Social Contract theory, and how beliefs on natural law and the state of nature have affected American government.

Up next...US government under the Articles of Confederation and the call for a stronger Constitution.

HOMEWORK: I thought I would assign some light reading for your weekend. Please read and take notes; there WILL be a quiz!!!
We the People: pp 1-34--don't worry, there are quite a few pictures and activities you can ignore :)
