 Blog Post#2

Based off of the article discussing the Supreme Court, there was a significant impact on my educational prowess. It sheds light on how the judiciary acts as a crucial check on both the legislative and executive branches, making sure not just one entity becomes too powerful. The most significant takeaway from reading that article is the pivotal role that the Supreme Court plays within interpreting the Constitution. The Supreme Court has a significant role in upholding the principles of judicial review through court rulings and proceedings.

This article highlights the Court's responsibility to uphold constitutional principles and protect democratic values.

Men of all ages and backgrounds were sent either through the draft or volunteering. Women at home took over the jobs the men left behind. It was a garnered sense of community amongst millions of people with one thing in common: a love for the country and to protect those back home. However, after watching those videos and doing other research, I realize that I was greatly mistaken. As a result of speaking out against the war, hundreds of people had their personal liberties completely taken away through jailing, simply for the sake of maintaining a sense of national unity.  Propoganda- WW1 For this post we were asked to explore two anti war pages.
