Station 2
The Judiciary Act & The Bill of Rights
Step 1: George Washington put the Judiciary Act and The Bill of Rights into place during his time as president. These systems and amendments are important to use because they help to protect our rights as Americans. But, how would outlived look if we weren’t given these rights from the Bill of Rights?
Step 2: Look at the worksheet in the folder titled “You’re Violating My Rights!” Complete the worksheet while keeping in mind, these are things that could have happened to us if the Bill of Rights weren’t added to the constitution!
Step 3: Let’s learn more about the Judiciary Act, turn to page 258 in your American Journey textbooks and read the section titled “The First Congress” and the two parts titled “Judiciary Act” and “The Bill of Rights”
Step 4: From Mr. Jackson’s PowerPoint on 2/15, we learned about how the Judiciary Branch was already in place, but the courts had not been appointed, so it was up to George Washington to appoint the people to these courts. Did this make George Washington a strong or weak president? Think about it and add your thoughts to your chart.
Step 5: Based on what you know now about the Judiciary Act and the Bill of Rights, fill in your First Presidents Chart
