    After, reviewing both of the websites it took me a little while to figure out why they are allowed to post the content they post. I think these websites post what they post to reach a specific audience They want to provide this information to everyone but I think the only people that view it are people with the same beliefs. They write about their opinion on different things in the news. Regular mainstream news broadcasters don't state their opinions about how they feel on the specific topic.  These different websites can do what they do because they do not have an owner. The regular mainstream news channel is not allowed to state there opinion because they are owned by specific companies.

    I have never heard of websites by this. I think that is because went out of my way to look for the. People in the world find these websites because they go out look for this information. They want to find people who believe the same way they do. People go out looking for specific articles based on their beliefs. I have never been interested in looking for this type of information I am not an opinionated person so I feel that this is why I have never came across either of these websites.

What are the six clauses? 

The six clauses are the first six rights in the first amendment. The first is freedom from religion, the second is freedom of religion, the third is freedom of speech, the fourth is freedom of the press, the fifth is freedom of assembly, and the sixth is freedom to petition.

The black lives matter movement was a social and political movement that went against issues of police brutality and violence against black people. Their goal is to build power to get in the middle of violence on black communities. 

When related to the first amendment and the black lives matter movement the first clause that comes to mind for me is freedom of speech. It has been known that people are allowed to express the way they feel through their voices. People chose to use their voice and peacefully protest to express how they feel about the situations that have occurred involving BLM. Expressing how you feel by peacefully protesting cannot cause any harm, just awareness for your beliefs. 

Another clause of the first amendment that relates to the black lives matter movement is freedom of assembly. Groups of people gathered to express how they feel during these protests. They did this because there is power in number and it shows how many people care about this situation.

Some of these peaceful protests have turned into violent riots which is exactly what shouldn't be happening. Violence is not protected by the first amendment. This is why some people believed that these protests should not have happened in the first place.

 The supreme court of the United States remains the most powerful body of government. There are a total of one hundred supreme court justices's. They are elected by each president of the United States. The is a confirmation process when electing the supreme court and it is extremely important. There job is to tell the president and all the different states what they can and cannot do. One thing that was said in the video was that congress had no rule to ban slavery. The 14th amendment was known as "the second bill of rights". It was a common misconception of what the statement "we the people stood for. "We the people" stands for everyone. To ensure that everyone knows that they are included. Every time there is a new cases opened the justices meet usually once a week to discuss.  The legislature talks about the issues going on within the government. They are not allowed to promote these issues to the public. After giving your argument to the supreme court three points go through your head. First the argument you planed to give, second the argument you gave and third the argument you wish you gave. The power of the court is the power of the trust earned.
