Amendments 4-7

Today in class we went over the the 4th though the 7th amendments. Amendment 4 states that the federal government trumps all the states, meaning that the states law can never overpower the federal law, which is basically the constitution. Next with the states is that only the congress can admit new states, the states don't have the power to add a state. States in all cases will basically have less power that the federal government. In article 5, it basically means that amendments can be rectified with 2/3 of congress. This includes the house of representatives and also the senate. Next is that state judges need to uphold the constitution. All federal and state officers need to swear on an oath to uphold the constitution. I thought the debate on if a christian worker would need to have a gay marriage was interesting and wouldn't mind keeping that debate going.
