Okay guys… I have another project for history… This is the last one of the semester… yay!!!! But anyway I have to do a powerpoint with a discussion of the U.S. Constitution as delineated by John P. Roche. I have found one work by him, The Founding Fathers: A Reform Caucus in Action. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on him or any further information that can help.
I don’ t know that I’ve read any John P. Roach, and the Constitution is a very broad topic. If you have to do a powerpoint presentation, I’m guessing you’re focussing on some narrow theme, right? A presentation could easily be given on topics such as separation of powers, the Bill of Rights (as a group or individually), the Commerce Clause, etc.
that was the prompt… make a discussion of the U.S. Constitution as delineated by John P. Roche. very broad i know… but i can only talk for 5 minutes. if you don’t know of anything, its fine… was just wondering if anyone had heard of him or not
Which John P. Roche are you’re talking about? I’m guessing not the middle aged guitar player. Do you know the years he lived? If he’s still alive, where does he teach?
well no its not John P. Roche the middle aged guitar player… but thanks for the laugh… i’m having a really hard time finding anything about him… i just found an article saying he died in 1994… the work of his that i’m reading was written in 1966 i believe… but i have no idea how old he was at that time or when he died… please help if you can find anything or if you could tell me where to look possibly… thanks for you help
There’s a tool called Google Scholar which allows you to search for academic papers. I did a quick check (“John P. Roche” +Constitution) and found an article written by JPR on the Constitution. I don’t know if it’ll help, but it may be worth it to read through his thoughts and try to break his views down so you can make a PPP out of it. Oh – and if you present it against the backdrop of mellow guitar strums by the middle-aged “John P. Roache” – well, all the more brownie points for you!
