PSEC and the Continental Congress

---The Continental Congress was the first of its kind. The meetings that they had were illegal to the British because they had representatives from each colony would come together to represent the view of the colonists, when parliament was really supposed to represent the views of the people. The Continental Congress was obviously not asked my the British government to form this group of representatives, they just automatically did it on their own.

---The Continental Congress relates to PSEC because they would set up meetings and talk about their colonies. We do similarly when we have community meetings, and the school comes together as one and we talk about our school as a whole and discuss different issues. I think PSEC's government can be more effective if we elected one or two representatives from each class, which we are in the process of, so thats good, but as individuals, we need to become more involved if it means joining clubs or organizations, or going to mentor groups, because it makes you become more connected with the school. I think PSEC's meetings are compared to the Continental Congress, and the representatives of the main campus would be compared to Parliament. Not in all cases, but I believe that we might become a challenge to the representatives up at highline because if we happen to come up with an idea to change our school, or a rule about our school, we might have to run it by them, because we as a community have as just as much as power as them to change different aspects of the highline community, such as rules or organizations.
