Class Update: 9-21-12 and 9-24-12

Today in class we received information on the federalist and democratic-republic parties. It was interesting to see their different view points and the fact that after only about 20 years, the parties died out. Basically, the parties were built around going against each other. After one had near complete control, it was clear that the parties didn't even need to exist anymore. Also, it seemed strange that there would be two differing Federalist groups, though after the Constitution was ratified one didn't even exist anymore. We took all of our notes and put them up on the projector. I liked highlighting the notes, it was very helpful to pull the best information out of the papers we were given. On Friday, we had a half day and didn't attend class.
