5. NARRATIVE Write a one-paragraph journal entry from the perspective of a participant of the Lewis and Clark expedition, explaining your feelings and
expectations as you set out on your journey.

my teacher said it could only be two sentences also! i’ll try to give brainliest if it lets me (: please help.

In the journey:

Here we are, me and Clark have been exploring this land for for 2 years now, and it has been an exciting adventure for us. We are here not alone, but with our group of 33 people. We want to reach the Pacific soon, but we are still a long way there. We have with us a kind Shoshone Native American woman named Sacagawea who is accompanied with us to help us through our expedition. We were about to be attack by the Native Americans, when Sacagawea told the tribe that we were not here to harm them, but to explore. They invited us in, and we had a good time learning about the them, and the animals in this land. This has turned out to be better than I expected.

Explanation:

It's May 14, 1804. I'm departing from Camp Dubois with U.S. Army volunteers, there are about 29 volunteers total, and we're all under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark. The goals of this expedition vary, though I do believe the primary objective is to create an American appearance in the west before other world powers attempt to take it. As a secondary target, we’re going to study the area's plants and geography. As of now, we're heading off to explore the Missouri River to figure out how it relates and communicates with the Pacific Ocean. I fear we may encounter Indians, however, Captain Lewis is familiar with Indian manners if we do stumble upon such a task. Due to the expertise of Captain Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark, I believe this expedition will be successful.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
