You wrote your Unit 3 WRA II Essay yesterday in class. A few of you missed class yesterday, so you made up this position paper in today's class. If you were in class today, you would know that we continued talking about the key concept of illiberalism, specifically post-9/11 anti-terrorism legislation. We focused on the USA PATRIOT Act today by watching a CBC News in Review on 9/11 and the passage of the Patriot Act. I tried to emphasize today that 9/11 had domestic impacts on the United States, with the passage of the Patriot Act (illiberalism), and international impacts with the imposition of liberalism in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of a larger "war on terror". Please remember that your Chapter 10 Test is tomorrow, please see the study guide below. Your Civil Rights Movement Assignment is due tomorrow as well.

We continued Unit 3 material today. We went through the electoral college system (and we watched a couple of YouTube videos on the subject). We also talked about gerrymandering. One of the key concepts that I want you to connect to these two topics (electoral college and gerrymandering) is the will of the people. Is the will of the people reflected in the outcome of elections that use the electoral college system and have gerrymandered districts? Couple these concepts with super PACS and "dark money" and you have some interesting criticisms of the American political system. Your Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions are due on tomorrow.
