We continued Unit 3 material today. We re-cast the 2015 Canadian federal election and looked at what impact adopting proportional representation would have had on the outcome.We also looked at the structure of the American government as well. Your Chapter 10 Key Terms and Questions are due on Tuesday. I think I may have misspoke with the Period 3 class, so make sure you do Chapter 10!
