3. Write down 5 new Articles that could improve the document you just read and provide a rational for each one.
4. Remove 3 things from the document to make the government more effective and provide a rational for each one. You do not have to remove the whole Article and may do a line item veto to make them stronger. Make sure you reference where you are striking out and give the rational.
This will be a graded formative assignment.
