Chapter 2: What Were They Thinking?<\/p>\n

Page 47: Let’s explore what government is<\/p>\n

Ben Franklin gesturing to crown vs. ballot box, military might and Capitol building vs. people.<\/em><\/p>\n

BEN FRANKLIN<\/em><\/p>\n

Why not close out this chapter with our thoughts on government in\u00a0general…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…what it’s\u00a0for,<\/strong> for example? Or maybe what form<\/strong> it should have? Up to you.<\/p>\n

But as for\u00a0specifics…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Franklin holding pages with titles of various Constitutional Law issues like War Powers and Gun Control.<\/em><\/p>\n

FRANKLIN<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t bother with what we\u00a0thought<\/strong> about any particular topic… …until you\u00a0get<\/strong> to that topic!<\/p>\n

Like, bring it up when it’s\u00a0relevant<\/strong> to the discussion?<\/p>\n

Sis looking eager.<\/em><\/p>\n

SIS<\/em><\/p>\n

You mean… we could finally get started on the\u00a0good<\/strong> stuff?<\/p>\n

FRANKLIN<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes. You can finally get to the good stuff.<\/p>\n

SIS (jumping for joy)<\/em><\/p>\n

Works for me! I’m\u00a0IN!<\/strong><\/p>\n

AUTHOR<\/em><\/p>\n

Works for\u00a0me,<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION<\/em><\/p>\n

Works for\u00a0us!<\/strong><\/p>\n

AVERAGE JOE<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, it’s not how\u00a0I’d<\/strong> have done it…<\/p>\n

But hey…<\/p>\n

…Whatever\u00a0works,<\/strong> right?<\/p>\n
