Let me give you students a word of thoughtful advice repetition. Yes sir the key is repetition repetition repetition. Never say James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were Federal  say James Madison was a federalist. No. For in terms of people who were federalist one would also have to include Alexander Hamilton in this  1 know what i m miking about Here Young people i m a journalist. And As a journalist. I am deeply aware that were it not for Freedom of the press which is constitutionally guaranteed by the i first amendment or perhaps the third amendment it is definitely inc of the amendments i would probably have to gel a real Job. Another thing you cannot be forced to Lodge soldiers in your Home. This is also slated right in the Constitution and 1 sup pose it s a Good thing. Although there arc limes when i would t mind having sol Diers lodged in my Home such As the other Day when my Wile told me the Lawn sprinkler valve was leaking and i went outside to Check it out in my role As a Guy filing a mechanical problem and suddenly this is the truth a totally unanticipated Snake stuck its head out of the valve and i was forced to switch Over to my role of a Guy with no pulse backing away from a valve. If there had been soldiers lodging in my Home they could have dealt with this situation calmly and professionally by shoot ing the Snake into 30,000 pieces with machine guns but As it was 1 had to stand helplessly by while the Snake slithered away which makes me very nervous be cause what if it turns out to be the same with snakes As with Man eating Bigcra in the sense that once a Snake gels a taste for plumbing it wants More and More what if one night i find it coiled in my water Pik Oral Hygiene device so we cannot say that the Constitution is Perl Cal. But we can say hat it is a visionary document created by a group of Farsi Hlad men who had the courage to make a bold fashion statement consisting of wigs and Light Toreador pants men who bravely journeyed to Philadelphia years before the discovery of the new Jersey Turnpike to wrestle with Complex and crucial questions concerning the government of the fledgling nation such As 1. Should the Stales have the Power to License manicurists 2. Should Iowa have a nickname what answers  2,the very Flat slate these were knotty issues indeed and inc delegates to the constitutional convention spent Many hours in heated debate culminating in this famous Exchange Between James Madison and Alexander Hamilton Madison i want to be on the $10 Bill. Hamilton no i want 10 be on the 110 Bill. Madison of yeah snatch Hamilton hey give me Back my wig Bui gradually these issues were re solved through a series of Compro Mises engineered by Wise elder Stales Man Benjamin Franklin who was always ready with a Pithy and totally incomprehensible saying. A Penny saved is a Penny earned he d blurt suddenly out of the Blue and All inc other delegates would Slop arguing and turn to look at him and men no d Emit a three fool Streamer of drool. Thus did the founding fathers Hammer out inc Constitution which established a new format under which the government is divided Inlo three equal parts each with clearly defined Powers and responsibilities 1. The judicial Branch wears Robes an sustains object ions. 2. The executive Dranch gels on and off helicopters and under goes routine physical examinations. 3. The legislative Branch is divided Inlo two bodies a. Young Urban legislator running for president and b. Deceased Rural legislators Declar ing National pumice week. This system has served us Well bul we need to ask can we preserve it while adapting it to meet inc Ever changing challenges of the future that indeed is a question i want you each to write 1,000 words about. And nobody leaves this classroom until 1 find out who put inc tapeworm in my Grade Book.
