Constitutional Connection: Amendment 1- Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Explanation of Connection: This picture demonstrates Amendment 1 Freedom of Assembly of the United States Constitution. In this picture it shows how most people support immigration and really do not care of what the government or other people say. Also, it shows some immigrants protesting, supporting immigration.

When the first amendment was ratified, it gave many people a chance to protest about their interests and what is important in the world. Some Laws gives a person a reason to protest because it is isn't fair to other people. 


Me personally really do not care about immigration. I do not see why people from Mexico and other countries need documents just to be in the United States. Immigrants come to the United States for a better opportunity because there are many jobs that they can get. It is so much easier for someone in the United States to travel to Mexico, we are always welcomed there, but here the immigrants are not.

The Judicial Branch 2

Constitutional Connection: Article III, Section 1- Judicial Powers
"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."

Explanation of Connection: This article is about how the supreme court strikes down the law to ban all dog fighting videos posted online by people. The Supreme Court believes it is violating the first amendment; freedom of speech. 

This article demonstrates Article III, Section 1- Judicial Powers of the United States. The Supreme Court has a lot of power and they decide what to do with it.When it comes to laws they try to make things better, but they do not want to go against the constitution. 


I believe that dog fighting should not be allowed because many animals suffer from wounds they get. They need to have a new bill where videotapes of dog fighting is illegal. The supreme court need to wake up because dogs are dying and getting injured from this.
