Rapumentary Project Day 2

Good Morning, Campers:

Here's your mission for today.

1. Choose ONE additional case to work on, besides the case you were working on yesterday. Your job is to research, and determine the important information about the case. Specifically, we need to focus on whether or not the case INCREASED, or LIMITED the civil liberties of Americans.

2. When you finish your research, you will make a post to this blog, that provides a SUMMARY of your information. Your summary should contain the information asked for in yesterday's post.

Hopefully, this blog will create a reference for all of us to use as we head towards the completion of TRP (the rapumentary project).
