4th: LAST POST due 5/11

Can you believe that this will be the last posting of the year? As you know, the NC primaries are being held this week; in addition to voting for national, state and local officials (yay, Federalism) there is also an amendment to be voted on by the people of North Carolina.

For this week's posting please check out the wording of the Amendment as written by our General Assembly:

http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2011/Bills/Senate/PDF/S514v3.pdf

In your response, please include the following information:

1. What does the bill mean (briefly summarize it in your own words)?

2. What is the difference between an Amendment (in this case, to the North Carolina Constitution) and a regular bill/law?

3. Find an article that is written about Amendment 1. This can be for or against the Amendment, an analysis of it or a reporting of NC voters. Using the format that we have used all year, cite, summarize and analyze the article.

This week's posting is more complex than usual, but covers a very relevant topic as part of our study of civics and the legislative process and as North Carolinians. It will be worth 20 points. Please take your time and do a good job with this very important issue.

Have a great week. :)
