Read pages 87-90 on amendments 11-27. When you are finished, choose 3 amendments from the chart on page 88 (One from each colored category) Using the internet, briefly research who was behind the amendments, what resistance, if any there was to it, and how long it took to ratify. (approx 20 min)
When you have completed this, pick up a packet on the initiative and referendum process. Research an initiative that a group is currently working to get on the ballot. Identify who is sponsoring the measure. (group(s) / individuals. Identify the top arguments in favor and against the measure. How many signatures will the measure need to get placed on the ballot? (need to do some math)
