WEEK3, POST 3

My basic question is this: 

How the Constitution was created out of the failures of the Articles of Confederation using the ideas of John Locke and is it still relevant today?

Keywords:

Constitution
Bill of Rights
Law
Government
ordinace
physical makeup
the nature of something
establishing 


Created
made
thought
mandated
outcome

Failures
not working
default
deliquency
oversight
crash

Relevant
applicable
material

Basic LOG

Government > Law > Constitutional > Constitutions > United States > Constitution of the United States > Bill of Rights >


So far from using this, I've started with The Yahoo Directory, Dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster.  I feel like I came up with some good word choices, like oversight, which I didn't think of before. The Yahoo Directory seemed to work well for helping to find a Ladder of Generalization as well as some helpful links to, mostly (obviously) government sites.

It looks like you found some good terms to go off of. I found that i got my best results from merriam-webster.com and looked up all my keywords in the thesaurus. You might find even more terms there. For your L.o.G. you could go back to the Yahoo! Directory and look through the Arts & Humanities: Arts > Humanities > History > U.S. History > Legal > Documents.
