AOD #10

On Monday, we have our debate in Craig and Ben’s class. We were in groups of four and each were assigned a state to represent. We were debating over the ratification of the Constitution. Each group researched the position of their state and fought for that position in the debate. I thought this was a good example of public judgment. We were making a decision to ratify the Constitution or not. We did an initial vote and then we voted again after the debate. As a whole, we made the decision to ratify the Constitution.

I thought this was public judgment because we were making a decision and we were allowed to vote and make the choice as to whether we wanted to ratify the Constitution or not. Also, each state had to be willing to make the Constitution work and be willing to work with all the other states.
