Imagine that you are the defendant in a trial where you are being charged with
burglary. You are innocent and yet there is a great deal of evidence that make
you look like you are guilty of the crime. You are being held in jail for the duration of the trial. Write a letter to your parents during the first day of deliberation. Think about the kind of things that you might be feeling while the jurors are
deciding your fate. Look back through the lesson on the Constitution and refer to parts of it that you think may help or hurt your case.
Your letter must be 350 words and have at least two references to the Constitution. Make sure that your letter sounds real and captures the emotion that someone who is in your shoes may really be feeling.

To Mother and Father,

I didn't do it. You guys know that too. I so stressed and tired, and I wish I could just go back home and everything be ok. I have no idea where this "evidence" is coming from and I'm getting stressed thinking about that too. I'm trying to keep it together but it's hard to especially when I could go to jail for something I didn't do. I miss you all so much.

Your child,

hi there!

moors is essentially another word for muslims.

the moors invaded spain around year 700, during their time ruling spain the muslims promoted religious tolerance (moors tolerated jews who were viewed as outcasts by northerners), the moors as well had a great impact on their language, and architecture (palaces were created).

i hope this !
