Hey Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteGood choice of article, but these entries need some work. You seem to like referring to groups or individuals as "they" but you need to explain who "they" are.
Follow the prescribed format: cite the source, list the amendment that goes with the article, explain what the article was about and then give your opinion.
Lastly--please proofread your posts for grammar/spelling!
