Popular Sovereignty

http://www.king5.com/news/education/No-school-Tacoma-teachers-on-strike-129695783.html

In Tacoma, Washington, The Tacoma Education Association voted to go on strike . The strike focused around pay, sizes of classes, and how teachers can be reassigned or transferred within the district. The vote was to either keep working under an expired contract or to strike. The teachers were extactic to hear that there was an 80% vote approving for a strike. They began the strike on September 13th, 2011 at 8. This left 28,000 students in the district without school, leaving their parents or guardians to find the care or education in replace.
This article advocates popular sovereignty because there was a vote made to decide whether or not to strike. Since the vast majority said yes, there would be one regardless or who it affected.

In Luara Fagan's article, I believe there is limited government too because there was protest which gives the power to the people not the government to go against what the government has established. In Nate Otenti's, I believe there was federalism because every state had a different outlook on interracial marriages and whether or not it was legal. I also believe that Alyssa Whitney's statement was true in that, even though many people thought Anthony was guilty, she had the right to be fairly trialed
