dear diary #7,
   My name is LIONKING , its December 4, 1819, and today is my last day on earth. I lay here on my old bed with broken ribs, fractured skull, broken arm, broken legs, and broken back. I feel super weak and literaly like a lonely vegetable. It all happened yesterday, I was chopping down a big tree near the river to create a bridge, but as i was doing this i triped over a rock, and the tree landed on my whole body. The pain was intense but it aint so bad, because at least that tree didnt land on my beautiful face, now that would be a real tragedy. I have lived 343 years and i woudnt changed my life for anything. Buring this time i have experianced good times and bad times. For example like the start of The United States, and how they created our nation. i think what will end up happening later on in the future, is people advancing in technology and will create machines that will make life esiear. i also predict that humans are going to be able to fly like birds to get to their destinations, much faster. It sucks that im not going to be a part of this life era but hey i lived my life to the max.  All i want for me right now is to just die with a smile on my face, knowing that all of my
family and friends will be at my funeral.




blog entry #6

dear diary #6,
Today is September 17, 1787. On this beautiful day i was near the river washing my cloths and taking a shower. I always be talking long shower, because i like to keep my body clean and fresh. Anyways i had to be looking fresh and classy,beacuse i was going to the building i went to the other day, were i saw Hamilton and Jefferson. This time there was a dabate between some antifederalist and federalist.  The anti-federalist wanted their rights to be protected, so to satisfy them they created the bill of rights, which stated ten rights that were added on to the Constitution. Since this act made them happy, they all agreed to be part of the U.S..all the 13 states Georgia, Rhode Island, Connecticut, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and of course Massachusetts. Thats all form me today, untill next time.

Sincerly, LIONKING

Adrian Ronaldo and Gerardo v.

  1. Cite examples of "Supreme Law of the Land" : " Marijuana is still illegal in the eyes of the federal government, which overrules states' rights".
  2. Cite examples of "federal vs. state authority" : an example of federal vs sate authority, is when they say that in the state marijuana is llegal, but in the eyes of the federal government it is still illegal. for example
"The voters have spoken and we have to respect their will," said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, in a statement. "This is a complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug, so don't break out the Cheetos or goldfish too quickly."

   3.  What was the "compromise" that helped to pass the referendum in Washington? How do you think this compromise would affect demand for the product? : the compromise that was made in Washington, states that they would tax it by 25% when it is produced and sold to the cunsumers. I think this compromise is going to affect the demand, because since its going to be more expencive then people are going to start buying from a drug dealer because its more economical. But this action is illegal at the same time, so thats a problem.

4.) Why was Oregon's referendum not passed? : Oregon's referendum didnt pass because it gave more power to the people that were growing marijuana than the overseers.




 Social Media and the presidential election :       

5.)  What audience do you think social media was targeted to? Explain. (This is an opinion question. Same rules for citations apply here as well) : i think the social media was mainly targeted to young tennagers. The reason i say this is becasue both candidates focused on education.

6.)  Which candidate was most effective using social media? Explain. (This is an opinion question. Same rules for citations apply here as well) : i think Obama was a better candidate using social media, because many people on facebook and twitter posted and tweeted more statements of Obama.

7.)  According to Jeffrey Hermes, taking a picture of your marked ballot can be used to pressure people standing in line to vote. Do you agree or disagree, and why? (This is an opinion question. Same rules for citations apply here as well) : I agree that using pictures of your ballot can be used to put presure on people who are voting, because its propaganda. I mean some people can change there minds out of nowere because of marked ballot.
