Notions of Liberty Contd.

Today we'll discuss the definitions of liberty identified in the Foner reading for today. We'll then expand our definitions by reading John Adams' Liberty and Knowledge in the American Reader.
Then, after filling out Adams' column in the chart, each student will be assigned to read either Andrew Hamilton's Defense of the Freedom of the Press or James Otis' Argument Against the Writs of Assistance. With a partner, students will discuss the readings and fill out the remainder of Part I of the chart.

Materials used today include:

• Your hw notes
• The American Reader
• Liberty Chart
• Andrew Hamilton's Defense of the Freedom of the Press
• James Otis' Argument Against the Writs of Assistance
