Dear All,

I am sorry that I have been off line this week, Well done to those of you who have managed the new technology as well as all the new stuff with Politics.

This weekend I read an interesting article on gender politics about women who are gaining power in the workplace but giving it all up. I will attach it if I can, but when you read the papers for homework please look out for articles we can discuss in class, that can link to our content.

Your work this week will be for some of you to re write your essays (or in some cases, write them) and then I would like you to research the constitutional arrangements of a country with a CODIFIED constitution. You need to comment on:

• The rights and limitations laid out in the documentation
• The restrictions on governement in such a system
• The benefits of a codifed constitution

You will then be writing me a comparative essay looking at the country chosen and comparing it to the constitution of the UK. 1000 words to be in by Monday October 15th. Precise title to follow.

All the best,
Mrs Baird
