Reflection:
During the government simulation, my bill passed through committee in both houses of congress and eventually was signed into law by the president.. Being in the food and gum committee of the Senate, we didn’t get many bills. There were only two bills that we received which consisted of one about having gum be allowed in class which didn’t say much or explain much other than allowing gum in the class so our committee just gave up on it and didn’t think it was worth passing.

After the first couple of days, it was really hard for committee to not get bored do to lack of bills to go over at least for my committee. I think the whole idea of this exercise of the government simulation is a pretty good idea. The government simulation allows students to experienced new things and learn how things worked in U.S. history to shape our government into what it is today. This also allows us to get a better understanding of the revolution and how government worked its way around war against britain as our class did similar things such as signing a treaty of unity with West Richardistan and allying with them to attack against Hagaña for taking our 8th grade lawn from us similar to how Britain took the rights of the thirteen colonies. Unfortunately unlike the colonists, we did not win the war as Hagaña had better players than us. I thought that taking over the lands, going to war, voting on a president and signing voting on bills was pretty cool and a very fun learning
