Weekend Homework and Debate Prep

American Government Scholars,

Here is your homework for the weekend:

Type a one-page, 12-font, TIMES NEW ROMAN, double-spaced report answering one of the following questions:

Last name A-M: 1. Who sits on the Supreme Court? Create a dossier on each current justice, listing his or her educational and professional background, the President responsible for the justice's appointment to the Supreme Court, year of appointment, and a history of the justice's position on key topics such as civil rights, the First Amendment, and abortion, since being appointed to the Court.

2. Last name N-Z: How did the United States address the topic of abortion before Roe v. Wade? See NPR (National Public Radio) (http://www.npr.org/news/specials/roevwade/timeline.html) for timelines that include information pre-Roe v. Wade. Write your report about what you discover.
