Bill of Rights Webliography

 

The first site that I visited was a reasonably good website if one wanted to find out the Bill of Rights.  One of the pages at the site has the first twelve amendments stated the same exact way as it would on the actual Bill of Rights.  This page on the site could be very useful if one needed to find the actual document online.  Through a different link is has all of the Amendments created after the originals.  It shows the actual amendment word for word and then right under the Amendment number it has the year that it was proposed and also next to that it has the year the amendment was ratified.  I like the structure in the site because it shows the original ones and then another page shows the separate amendments.  This makes it easier for the viewer so then they will not get the added amendments mixed up with the ones that were created at first.  The site also includes the Declaration of Independence.  There is also a link next to the Constitution link that read “state constitutions” and when one clicks on it a list of states with constitutions comes up, but the only one is Pennsylvania.  This is kind of a waste of space on the website.  It is nice to have all the constitutions up on one website including the Bill of Rights, but the author did not have to waste the page of state constitutions.  It even has an index page so if someone were to be looking for a specific part of the documents they could find it easier than searching through the entire website.

This website is well done.  It has an article about the constitution and the Federalists and anti-Federalists.  It goes over a review of what was happening while the Constitution was being created.  One point it mentions that nine of the 13 states had to ratify the Constitution before it is an actual Constitution.  Without the website many people would not know the things that kind of happened behind the scenes of the creation of this wonderful document that we have today.  There are also a few words or phrases that are hyperlinked.  These hyperlinks go to something that is related to the highlighted word.  For instance, the states that are highlighted go to information about how that’s state was ratified.  It gives a lot of information about it also.  This is a very good site to go to.  The site also shows the votes in that certain state of that time period when that state ratified the constitution.  It has a monthly pole about different things involving the constitution also.  There is an index like home page so it is easy to find what you are trying to find, and also at the bottom of the home page, it has a list of the things that the website has been mentioned.  I am assuming these are good mentions and this is a great website.

Civil Rights Movement Webliography  

 

This is a good site.  It has a huge load of information about the Anti-Federalists.  This site is basically all about the anti-Federalists.  It has a link to all of the anti-Federalist papers and a Bibliography at the bottom.  This shows that it is a credible site.  Otherwise, the Bibliography would not actually be there.  Another link goes to the Chronological order of the anti and pro Federalist papers.  On the home page of the site it shows a nice picture of Jefferson.  This is just enough to make the site interesting.  Below his painting, it shows everything that is in the site.  Lower has a lot of different menus that you could search through.  There is a guided tour of the website, which is very helpful to the first-time viewer.  It also has a chart with all of these links going to certain pages.  One of the pages is all about the abuses of the Constitution, and another shows the basic principles of the Constitution.  This is a very good site to learn anything about the Constitution.  It has different resources the information is from, and also the candidates for the current elections; therefore, it not only has the past of the Constitution, but also information on today/s interpretations and elections.

This first websites is all about Black History, and the section that I focused on the most was with the Civil Rights movement.  It is a very good website to look at.  It is very easy to read and understand.  There are links at the top of the page so one could go to the next topic easily.  There is also a back button and a link to go to the home page.  In this section the website has information about each thing that happened during those ten years of the movement.  (The ten years 1955-1965 were the peaks of the movement)  There are seven basic links that go to the topic that is underlined.  Each topic is a specific protest or march that was significant to this time period.  When one clicks on the link, there is an in depth description of what happened at that certain event.  There are also footnotes on the page if one were to be confused about something.  There is also a help link that is in bold, and it describes all the things that are available on the site.  There is also a link to search for anything on that page about Black History.

This site comes from infoplase.com, which is a timeline of the peak during the Civil Rights Movement.  The far left side has the specific years, and then next to that are the months and/or the day that the specific event happened.  Under the day is the information about what happened that day.  It also has great links that go more in depth with whatever the word is on the site.  For instance, there is a link to an in depth discussion about the Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka.  This link is made so one could learn more about that specific event that happened during the Civil Rights Movement.  It has wonderful colors on the site, so it is not too boring for the eye.  There are also a few pictures on the site of something that represents that event.  For instance, there is a picture of Rosa Parks, and also a link to more information about her.  It also suggests a book that one might want to read if they want to know more about that topic.  At the very bottom of the timeline, it also has a few links to related topics of the Civil Rights Movement.  For instance, there is a link to a Black History Month site which talks about the different things that occurred in the Black History.
