A note about reading quizzes: Many of you have been struggling with the recent reading quizzes. Be sure that you look at the class wiki and read the list of objectives that go along with that reading. The quiz will ONLY cover those topics in the reading, so make sure that you have a solid understanding of those issues. As always, if things are not clear, ask me!

One last note: While you will not be quizzed on Chapter 6 until Tuesday, 9/22 I expect you to have the sections on “Stumbling Toward a New National Government” - pg 170 - 175 and “Whose Constitution? Struggle for Ratification” - pg 185 - 189
