What are we doing today?
I'm running through due dates, the coming couple of weeks, and we'll be talking about the 13th, 14th, & 15th amendments.
In small groups we'll be taking a closer look at the 14th amendment, modeling after what we do with 13 & 15 together. (these are listed in the previous post (above)
Also review these other key pieces of legislation

Overall, what do these amendments guarantee? What mechanisms enforced them? Do you think these amendments are well enforced today?
