  2. 1. This articles is about people who are against abortions.
    2. This even happened in Washington D.C.
    3. This event appened 22 Jan 2014.
    4. This article was about thousands of abortion oppenents that gathered together on Washington for the annual March for Life rally.
    5. My opinion is that people should jot be worried about what others are doing to their bodys. Some people are against abortion, but that should stay with themselves. Some people has reasons on why they need to get an abortion.
    6. This artice relates to civics because this has something to do with some laws that we have learned in the pass. Like people should have the freedom to do what they want as long as it doesnt break the law.

  3. 1. This article is about the Brown v. Board of Education which is Oliver Brown the parent of the child named Linda Brown a third grader at that time
    2. This event took place in Topeka, Kansas.
    3. The time the event occurred was on March 17, 1954.
    4. This article is mainly about how one of the citizens in Topeka, Kansas had went against how the Board of Education went with things. The specific subject was the segregation in public schools between of course blacks and whites. It concluded that the first black Judge Thurgood Marshall had went right along with what Oliver had believed was right for African American children in the academic aspect of things. They went back and forth on what the Fourteenth Amendment had said and how it was tied into what they were debating about. Even though it didn't work as well Oliver pleaded the same case again and explained how segregation will effect their learning standpoint as in black girls. He had won the case. This case wasn't only known for a movement in the Civil Rights aspect but as in watershed moment in the struggles for racial equality in America.
    5. My opinion on this article is that its good and gave me more background knowledge I wasn't sure of. Also that if it wasn't for Oliver Brown I would be in an all black school with out the education that I should have, even not connecting and sharing my life with my other classmates being as though they are white and other races that are in my school now.
    6. This relates to something I learned in Civics is when the Freedom Riders had fought against the segregation going on in the South, they did this in sitting in lunch-ins, buses of course and other ways.

  4. 1. Who is the article about? The Supreme Court cases that involve police searching the person they arrested cellphone for evidence.

    2. Where did the event happen? The server trials and discussions happening in Washington.

    3. When did the event happen? The article was posted January 14 of the year 2014.

    4. What is the article about? This article is about the argument of making police having a warrant to search cellphone of the people they arrest. There have been cases were if the cellphone was not searched then the criminal would have been set free. Some say the police should get a warrant because that's a total destruction of someone's privacy.

    5. What is your opinion of this article? I agree that the law should give warrants for this type of search. Cellphones hold a lot of personal information. From transactions with money to doctor filled forms and addresses of loved ones who could be harmed. I personally don't like what the police do and feel it's against the 4th amendment.

    6. How does this article relate to something you learned in "civics"? This article is about a Supreme Court order and we are currently learning about different steps the law takes in an investigation. One Of those steps would be getting a judge to issue a warrant.

    7. Provide a proper MLA citation of the article.

    Article Title: "Let Us Pray? Supreme Court divided on God in Government"
    Article Date: February 18, 2014

    Religion has been the sole source behind some of the world's greatest mysteries and controversies. The government has tried their best to keep it under strict protection, but our right to religious independence has been tested time and time again. In November of 2013, two women in New York went to the Supreme Court to challenge the state against opening their board meetings with a prayer. They claimed that it's not "appropriate" to open the meetings with prayer because of the diversity in religions across the board. The Supreme Court ruled that the opening prayers were unconstitutional because it seems as if the government is "endorsing" or "promoting" religion, which violates the separation of church and state.

    I personally disagree with the point made by the women. Everyone is granted the right to practice any religion because of their first Amendment right, and that is exactly what the board meetings in New York had sought out to invoke. It is virtually a given that not everyone practiced the same religion, but for those who did not support the prayers, the logical thing to do would be to simply ignore the process and wait for it to end. What exactly was stopping them from sitting idle, or even perhaps practicing their own religions' interpretation of a "prayer", until the actual board meeting began? I don't think this was a case for the Supreme Court to deal with.

    Religion is a practice that is to be celebrated, but it has taken a negative connotation in recent years, and some countries do not allow their citizens to practice a religion of their choice and kill them if they dare to defy the law. Some people believe in it, and some don't, and that's a fair contrast - but there's absolutely no need to scrutinize and threaten the rights of other people. In the end, it's not about the practice, but about what's written on the dotted lines of the Constitution.

  7. Who: This article involves a group of women who oppose abortion.
    Where: A Plan Parenthood in East San Jose.
    When: The women gather Mondays-Fridays to pray that one day abortions will be illegal.
    What: This article is about women trying to fight the Supreme Court to end abortion. The group of women can't stand the fact of losing a life. They have prayer vigils and they try to talk to people to tell them how precious a life is. Sadly, the women get shooed away.
    Opinion : I think that abortion is wrong too. I think that every life should be saved but sometimes there is no other option. If you have been raped, no mother wants to keep a child of a rapist.
    Connection: This relates to civics by how the women were using freedom of speech, which is the first amendment. They had a belief and they had the write to express it just as long as they didn't hurt anybody.

  8. Title: A Steady Path to Supreme Court as Gay Marriage Gains Momentum in States

    1. This article is about the legal officials who are deciding if Gay Marriage should be legalized.
    2. This event happened in the United States.
    3. This event has been happening since the spark of gay marriage, and because of the woods acceptance but stubborn courts, those who oppose it are seen as strange.
    4. The article is about the rise in support for gay marriage. Thanks to the support, all of the attention is being placed on the officials who haven't legalized it. Everyone who supports it are stressing the outcome of future generations.
    5. I think our government doesn't give the people an actual voice, all the decisions are made by the leaders.
    6. This article relates to Civics because it depicts one of the many flaws in any justice system. It also depicts the process of checks and balances between courts.

    The supreme court starts having a interest in same-sex marriage. The federal court once denied request of same-sex marriages by Gov. Brian Sandoval.

There were cases on same-sex marriages that had to do with a juror ,it was ruled that based on sexual orientation the juror have to receive heighted scrutiny. The decision of navada was to drop it argument against same-sex marriage. There is sti fight to protect the rights.

    5. What is your opinion of this article? My opinion of this article is that Nevada was right to drop their argument. I believe that same-sex people are equal to opposite sex and they should be married normally because they are normal human beings.
    6). This article relates to john loocke ,he believed in natural right of a human being. These same-sex marriages being band is only taking the rights a human being away.

    This article talks about young woman in America who had an abortion.
    2. Where did the event happen?
    This event happened in America which makes it a national issue.

    3. When did the event happen?
    This article mentions the years of 1973 to the year of 2011. The years are far apart because of the data used in the article.

    4. What is the article about?
    This article is about the abortion rate being at a low rate for the first time time since 1973. The article mentions some reasons why the abortion rate is low. An example of this is the use of birth control. The article also mentions a supreme court case that dealt with abortion. The article also shows how some people are pro-abortion and some people are against abortion. There are even rallies about abortion and it is a big issue in America.

    I think this article is very helpful and it gave me a lot of information on abortion rates and the reasons why they went down. Also it gave supreme court cases that had something to do with abortions.

  12. 1. Who is the article about?
    This article involves the United States Supreme Court and Herbet Smulls, who was convicted of killing a man that owned a jewelry store.


    2. Where did the event happen?
    This event took place in a Missouri prison where convicted felon Smulls was sentenced.


    3. When did the event happen?
    This event happened in January of 2014.


    4. What is the article about? (MINIMUM 3 SENTENCES) This article describes how the Supreme Court appealed Smulls' request to put off his execution. Smulls tried to delay his death by claiming that the drugs used to perform the lethal injection was a compounded drug. After hearing this argument the court granted Smulls temporary stay. However, the Supreme Court ultimately followed through with Smulls original sentence.


    5. What is your opinion of this article?
    I don't think that Smulls deserved an extension at all. He was guilty of his crime and should have been punished as so. I agree with the Supreme Court's decision to sentence Smulls to death.

    6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? (if your answer is, “it doesn’t” or “I don’t know,” you need to find another article that you can use to make a connection to Civics.)
    This article reminds me of how court cases can redefine the constitution. In this case, a man who was facing execution tried to do just that. Smulls insinuated that the drugs used in lethal injections was considered "cruel and usual". Although his attempts failed, it shows how the constitution can be contorted to specifically relate to a case that would be normally non-related.

  13. 1.Who is the article about ?

    The U.S government

    2.Where did the event happen ?

    From overseas to the United States

    3.When did this event happen ?

    This event happened In December 2001, just weeks after the 9/11 attacks.

    4.What is the article about ?

    This article is about the U.S government warning all airlines around America to check passengers shoes so they couldn't bring explosives on the plane. The U.S government are doing all kinds of checks and searches because they don't want another accident like 9/11 to happen ever again.

    5. What is your opinion of this article ?

    I think that the U.S government are doing the right thing in this type of situation. I say this because they are making sure people will board a plane peacefully and safely and won't be in any kind of danger.

    6. This article refers to civics in a type of way because they arrested the man who tried to board the plane with explosives in his shoes and he went to court and he plead guilty and was sentenced life in jail . They used the evidence to put him away for life. We are learning about these types of cases in civics class.

  14. 1. This article is about whether the Supreme court should extend the abortion protester limits or leave it up to the states.

    2. This event happened in San Jose California.

    3. This article did not mention when the protest that was mentioned happened.

    4. This article is about abortion protest limits. Protesters are speaking up on how they think that the distance limit violates the 1st amendment. They have to stand a certain amount away from Planned Parenthood because they say they want to make sure the clients are safe. Planned parenthood is trying to extend this distance to prevent any violence from happening. Supreme Court is poised to re-examine how far the government can go to keep protesters away from clinic workers and patients.

    5. My opinion is that they should try to extend it and it's not breaking the 1st amendment.

    6. This relates to civics because it deals with the violation of amendments.

    This event took place in Washington.

    3. When did the event happen?
    N/a

    4. What is the article about? (MINIMUM 3 SENTENCES)

    This article talks about how congress is revisiting the voting rights. This article also talks about the civil rights movement. In this article many people in congress give their opinion on what should happen with the voting rights. Many of the people in congress feel it should be left alone because of the racial reasons behind it. Some people think it should be left alone because of what people went through to earn these rights.
    5. What is your opinion of this article?
    In my opinion I agree with most of the congress. They should leave the voting right alone. Throughout the civil rights movement people have risked their life’s and even the reputations and jobs to fight for the right to vote. Many activist died fight for our rights and they should not be revisited or thought about they were made for a reason and need to be kept that way.

    6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? (if your answer is, “it doesn’t” or “I don’t know,” you need to find another article that you can use to make a connection to Civics.)

    This article connects to civics in many ways. We have just recently discussed the civil rights movement and how this affected our rights and amendments. This is our 15th amendment. This article also connects because it is government and goes over the Supreme Court which we learned about. This article goes over many aspects that we have just learned.

    What is this article about? This article informs local citizens of the things that are going on in the Supreme Court.

The court agreed to finally hear the cases and now are considering whether they will require a warrant when taking a cell phone.

    What's your opinion of this article? My opinion after reading this article is that I actually agree with those who are fighting to require a warrant when searching ones cell phone. A cell phone is someone's personal proper and without permission of the owner or warrant one should not be able to take it search through it.

    How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? This article relates to what we have been learning in class because it has to do with the amendments. Being able to search through a phone without a warrant is wrong and should be against the fourth amendment.

  19. 1.Voting Rights act of 1965 by 5 to 4 freeing nine states in the south, change the vote election laws.
    2. The south
    3.1965
    4. During this time the civil rights movement was happening. Racial discrimination in voting. The legislation branch passed to remedy to speak against the current event. The voting act changed generations barries. Some states were saw unconstitutional. The supreme court, had repeatedly kept in earlier decision, making the south to accept blacks to vote.
    5. In my opinion, people went through a lot to get the rights we have now. I think it's a slap in the face to historians that rick their lives.
    6. This relates to civics because there were certain branches to pass laws. Like the legislation branch had to pass the voting rights act.

  20. 1. Who is the article about? Its about females wanting abortions.


    2. Where did the event happen? This event happened in the state of Arizona.


    3. When did the event happen? The event happened in April, 2012


    4. What is the article about? It was about trying to get the supreme court to get rid of a law stating that women cannot get abortions after twenty weeks, but the supreme court decided not to take the case, the decision did not go well with a lot of people


    5. What is your opinion of this article? I agree with the law because its basically killing your child when its so close to entering life, and if any lady does not want a child they should take the cautioned road instead of going down the care free road and getting herself in to something shes not ready for.


    6. How does this article relate to something you learned in Civics? This article makes me think of our rights and liberties, because it brings up a law that does not allow women to follow through with a decision they want to make that will only affect them self.


    7. Provide a proper MLA citation of the article.

  21. Who is this article about : The state of Arizona
    Where did this event happen : This event happened in Washington
    When did the event happen : This took place on January 13, 2014
    What is the article about : The supreme rejected to go forward with an appeal from the state of Arizona. Arizona wants to revive an abortion law which states that all abortions are prohibited unless a medical emergency is the situation.
    My Opinion : I feel as though if a state wants to ban pregnancy then it should be banned completely. This wouldn't be a serious issue if it did not exist in the state.
    How does this relate : This relates to what we learned in civics about how the supreme courts can basically reject your appeal and this is the highest court to reach out to with a topic this big.
