The 16th Amendment states that the Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

                                                               

Derived- Resulting               

Apportionment- distribution

Enumeration- list

The 16th Amendment was made so taxes came out people’s income. The people pay taxes goes towards, health programs, the Pentagon and the military, interest on the debt, unemployment and labor programs, veterans benefits, food and agriculture programs, education programs, government expenses, housing and community programs, energy and environmental programs, international affairs programs, transportation funding, and science funding.

Proposed by Congress July 12, 1909, ratified February 3, 1913

Today the amendment is still used and still has a huge impact on the everyday life. The money paid in from our incomes and used for federal pay.

Current examples would include welfare, which would go towards unemployment and labor, education, interest on debt ect.

 

The 17th Amendment is the popular election of Senators. Each state has 2 Senators that are elected by the people for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

Requisite- Necessary

Numerous- Many                                            

The 17th Amendment was pretty much an amendment because they wanted the Senators to represent each state and the qualifications of each state.  It gave each state to have the right person to represent the majority of the state and to give the opinions that the people voted them for.  It is used still today. Senators are still voted and represent every day. It was proposed by Congress may 13, 1912 and ratified April 8, 1913. There aren’t really any issues involving this issue today.

Learning


Working at DQ we get a lot of new employees. I’ve been there about 2 and half years making me one of the longer high school workers from there. Just recently we had a new employee that started and I was the one that had to teach her to close. I began telling her what to do before we actually close. We begin getting our stuff done at 8:00. We begin filling toppings; we fill cups, cones, lids, straws, ect. and cleaning as we go. Directly after closing, I told her that the first thing we do is bring in the donation box and lock the window. After that, you turn all the machines off: the ice cream, coco fudge, caramel and hot fudge, cone dip, and slush. I tell her then that whatever you didn’t get filled you fill. After filling you clean. Whatever you see that is dirty you clean. After cleaning everything I tell her that I take out the garbage and begin sweeping. After sweeping, we take the tills out of the registers and I show her how to separate everything and put it in the safe. When I am finished showing her that, I tell her to get a mop and start mopping after mopping, I tell her to help whoever isn’t finished. When everyone is done the manager locks up and we go home!

Colin Kaepernich


I have a lot of different thoughts about Colin Kaepernich. He says he doesn’t want to respect his country’s flag because he lives in a country that oppresses black people. Personally, I think he is just a cry baby and wants to get attention. If he wants to see a country that oppresses a race he should go a country that actually does oppress people or go back to slavery times and see true oppression. He has it easy compared to pretty much everybody. Plus, if his country is so horrible to him, then he should just leave.

            Black oppression to him would be cruel treatment to blacks by police officers. There are more police officers killed by black people, than black people killed by police officers. Maybe they should examine the behavior of the people who are getting killed by theses police officers. They are resisting arrest, breaking the law, and are being harmful towards the police officers. I’m not saying that someone has never been killed for any reason by a police officer, but that is very rare. Not to mention, the amount of white people killed by police officers is twice the amount than black people killed by police officers.

            I believe fulling in our rights and amendments. I believe that we should use them and fight to keep them. He has the right to sit down during the national anthem for whatever reason he believes, but the least he could do is make it a legit reason to sit down and not a bs excuse to get attention. People, whites and blacks, are fighting over seas for him to be able to play on a football professionally and make millions of dollars. Blacks people today have just as many rights as any other race in this country and he should open his eyes and see that for himself.
