During most of the session ,Olivia took a test on the Federal Court System. She scored an "A " on the test . During the final minutes of the session, we continued our study of the First Amendment focusing on the right to petition the government. I explained the scope and reach of the right to petition including how ballot initiatives are manifestations of that right. We commented on how ballot initiatives grant citizens the right to bypass the legislature when the legislature fails to act in accord with the will of the voters. For homework, I assigned reading pages 450-452 and answering one study guide question.
