Kulturraumstudien USA, Homework for December 10th

For homework, please have a look at the summary of the Bill of Rights here:
https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights/what-does-it-say

(The actual language of the document can be accessed here, halfway down the page under "The U.S. Bill of Rights": https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights-transcript)

Then, please visit this page featuring Amendments 11-27 and 1) read and 2) research the historical context of three amendments. (Hint: often understanding the context of the amendment in question is reading/learning about the amendments that come before and after it as we did today with the 14th with respect to the 13th.) https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/amendments-11-27

Read about the Nine Nations of North America here and decide if you are satisfied with this way of "carving up" this continent: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/07/03/where-do-borders-need-to-be-redrawn/nine-nations-of-north-america-30-years-later

Some of the photographers featured in the "Doing the Document" exhibition at Museum Ludwig we'll visit on Thursday:
Diane Arbus: https://www.vulture.com/2017/05/9-rare-diane-arbus-photos.html
Walker Evans: https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/evan/hd_evan.htm

Concerning the excursion on Thursday, I will be in the lobby at 5 pm and then we'll head to the "Doing the Document" exhibition and then to the Pop Art section of the permanent collection thereafter, so if you have to come later, please still do come and find us in the respective galleries.
