GOVT 2305 and 2306 Review, Part One

We started talking about the final in class this week, and will continue to do so. I'll start a series of posts with hints about what things you ought to think about while you review. These will continue until final week starts.

Here are some of the things we discussed - and some things you should review:

2305
- The basic principles embedded in the Constitution
- John Locke and his Two Treatise's on Government
- The Magna Carta and the British Bill of Rights
- The Equal Protection Clause
- Strict Scrutiny


2306
- The purpose of public education according to both the Texas Declaration of Independence and the Texas Constitution
- The impact of the 14th Amendment on the states
- The political culture of Texas
- The differences between the constitutions of 1869 and 1876

Expect more to come - I'll try to add something every day - but think about these items a bit. The more you know the better you'll do.
