Discussion Questions Why do you think Trump would be so insistent that Bharara lose his position? Why do you think Bharara would not resign? Do you think that our system of Checks and Balances and Separation of Powers is being upheld? It is common for Attorney Generals who are of the opposite political party to be asked to resign once a new president comes into power. Do you think this tradition is a good or bad thing?

Journal 6 - Puerto Rico: Will it Become the 51 st State? Read the article on Puerto Rican Statehood answer the questions that follow

Analyzing Different Perspectives Partner up with someone in the class One person will be writing a letter to Congress from the perspective of the Puerto Ricans Another person will be writing a letter to the Puerto Ricans from the perspective of the American government After you have written your letter, switch with your partner, and see what similarities and differences there are between the Puerto Rican and US perspective in terms of Puerto Rican Statehood

Pros and Cons List Puerto Rico has not become a state A. Make an individual Pros and Cons List from the Puerto Rican Perspective B. Make an individual Pros and Cons List from the perspective of the US government C. After you have created your own individual lists, we will create a class list

Check for Understanding What do you think is different from the American government perspective in comparison to the Puerto Rican perspective on Puerto Rico becoming a state? What do you think is similar for the American government perspective in comparison to the Puerto Rican perspective on Puerto Rico gaining statehood? What do you think would need to happen for Puerto Rico to become a state?

Transitioning: Interstate Relations What are some political powers that Puerto Rico would be granted if it became a state? If Puerto Rico did become a state one day, what do you think its relationship would be like with other states in the US? Why do we need federal regulations on relations between different states? Can you think of a time in US History where there was a need for the federal government to regulate relationships among different states?

Interstate Relations Vocabulary Interstate Compacts: States may make agreements among themselves with other states, if they have the approval of Congress Full Faith and Credit Clause: “Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each state to the Public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State”

Check for Understanding Can you think of any Interstate Compacts that exist? In the Full Faith and Credit Clause, what do you think Public Acts refers to? What kinds of documents do you think they are talking about? What does Judicial Proceedings mean?

Exceptions to the Full Faith and Credit Clause 1. Only applies to civil, not criminal matters- One State cannot enforce another State’s criminal law 2. If people get divorced in a state that they are not the residents of, then that divorce does not need to be recognized by the state that they are residents of

Check for Understanding Why do you think they would make these two exceptions to the Full Faith and Credit Clause? Do you think they should add any exceptions to the Full Faith and Credit Clause? Are divorce laws different than marriage laws, according to the Full Faith and Credit Clause? Why do you think this is?

Warm Up What does the Full Faith and Credit Clause state? What are the two exceptions to the Full Faith and Credit Clause?
