Boardman Utellem Information Points THIIU) YEAR Editi! by tlie High School Students No. 27 EDITOR, Zbe Hadley, '24" A'ss't. Editor, Edward McClellan, '25 Joke Editor, Alton Klitz, '24 The Constitution Fifty-five of the best men in the states were assembled at a conven tion n Independence Hall, Phila delphia, from May till September, 1787, for the purpose of revising the Article of Confederation, because the members of the small union of thirteen states, were eager to have a more perfect government and union. In order to revise the old law of the land it was necessary to make three compromises and a number of changes. The! delegates thought this too great a task, so they de cided to make a new constitution. George Washington was ma,o president of the convention and was trusted and respected very much during the hard work of the writ ing of the constitution. Jefferson was absent from the convention be cause at the time he was serving as minister to France. Madison was called the "Father of the Constitu tion," because of the great Intelli gence he showed In wording and planning the laws of the constitu tion. The three compromises which were written were the Connecticut Compromise, which said that eacli state should have the same number of senators but the representatives according to the population. My an other compromise it was decided that three-fifths of the slaves be counted In making the number of representatives. The third one WK to forbid people from bringing slaves In after twenty wars. It was arranged to have three de partmrnts In the government. The Legislative department was for the purpose of making the laws, the Ju dicial department was for judging taws and the Executive department was for enforcing the laws. The Legislative department pon sisted of Congress. The (nullifica tions of the United States senators kre: Thirty years old, nine years a citizen of the United Btatee, and a resident of the state from which he Is chosen. The Representatives are required to be twenty five years of ago, seven years a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the state from which he Is chosen The members of the Senate and the! House of Representatives which form Congress meet once a year, and on the first Monday of Decem ber. If a-hill Is to become a law It is first Introduced by some member of the house and read by the reading clerk, referred to the committee to act upon, road twice by the read ing clerk, debated on, voted on by the roll-call system and after II has gone through this process In both houses It Is sent to the president. If.hf signs or keeps it ten days and Congress has not adjourned, It becomes a law. Hut If he vetoes it, It Is not a law unless the house puss over his veto by two-thirds vote. Congress was given power to lay and collect tuxes, borrow money, ad mit new stutes, maintain a navy, declare wur, coin money, estubllsh postof flees and to puhh laws neces sary to curry out the above powers. The Executive department Is vest ed In the president of the United States. Anyone who Is to be n president of the United Stutes has to be thlrty-rive yeurs old, a natural born citizen of the United States, and a resident fourteen years be fore election. The only way the pres ident or other high officers can be removed from office, against their Mill, is Impeachment. The powers of the president are: He shall be commander In chief of the army and nnvy, fill nil vacnn cles, grant reprieves and pardons, mnke treaties wtth the ronsenit of the senate and appoint ministers and ambassadors to foreign coun tries. His duties are: To see that laws are enforced, deliver messages to Congress, call extra sessions, re ceive ambassadors and ministers, commission nil of flaws, and consid er all bills passed by Congress. The Judicial department Is vest ed in one Supreme Court and In the Inferior courts that congress" may i t.ihlish.
