For this writing assignment, we had the freedom to write about a topic of our choice within the realm of early United States History. I found that the connection between the Amendments and modern day politics to be the most interesting. Through the three weeks we had to write this, we received critique and feedback from teachers and peers. I found this essay to be beneficial for college style writing because of the claims and evidence component within the guidelines. Initially, this was a hard topic to write about because I had to learn about the meaning behind the Amendments in the time they were written. If I had to go back and rewrite this essay, I would add more ways the Amendments effect me personally.
