BLOG POST #3- BRANCHES OF THE U.S. GOVT.


1.  Find 3 articles about the 3 branches of the Constitution.
     -these articles can be about the same branch
     -these articles can also be about different branches
     -ARTICLES MUST BE FROM AFTER FEBRUARY 1, 2013

2.  Summarize and synthesize these articles
     -write one summary that synthesizes the articles
     -What collective conclusion can you make about these branches based on what you see?
     -What's happening today in the United States government based on these articles?
     -DO NOT SUMMARIZE ARTICLES SEPARATELY
     -CITE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FROM EACH ARTICLE

3.  Evaluate the three branches of government as part of your 150-250 word summary
     -Based on what you read in your articles, how is the United States government working?
     -Effective?  Failing?  Meeting expectations of the Constitution?
