In the beginning of school, I was introduced to this year. I looked up two of the amendments that I felt Americans abuse because we don’t recognize the responsibilities that come with those rights which are the first and second amendments. My partners and I took a few days out to research these two amendments .Then, one day after school my partner and I decide on a topic of gun related crimes that have happened in Fort Pierce this Past Year.

Ana and I collected information from internet sources about the history of the second amendment and how the rights and responsibilities have changed over the years. Not only in America but also in places such as ancient Greece and England .Ticorious gathered information on how Americans today have taken advantage of the responsibilities that have come with the right responsibly. All of us researched for pictures to go with board
