1. Why did you believe it was important for the people of Kansas to have the power to alter, revoke, or repeal any special privileges or immunities granted by the legislature?
- I included this question because I want to understand the writers' reasoning behind giving the people of Kansas the ability to change laws that may not benefit them in the future.
2. How did you ensure that the government in Kansas would be founded on the authority of the people and protect their rights equally?
- I included this question to learn about the writers' process in making sure that the government in Kansas would always put the people first and protect their rights equally, without granting special privileges to any group.
3. What inspired you to create a government in Kansas that is based on the authority of the people and is designed to benefit and protect them equally?
- I included this question to understand the writers' motivations for establishing a government that is centered on the people of Kansas and works to ensure their rights and protections are upheld.
“All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and are instituted for their equal protection and benefit. No special privileges or immunities shall ever be granted by the legislature, which may not be altered, revoked or repealed by the same body; and this power shall be exercised by no other tribunal or agency.”
Based on your knowledge of Kansas history and government, write three interview questions you might ask the writers of the Kansas Bill of Rights. For each question, write why you have included it. can you write this in 7th grader words?
