Free Market

One common theme in The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution is freedom, especially freedom against tyranny. In the plaque pictured below, it states how the market is to be kept for the people and shall always be for the people. It isn’t controlled by some big monarch or any one person, but instead is for everyone equally. . It is also the duty of the people to protect the market against those that would try to abuse it or extort it. This is similar to the duties of citizens regarding protecting the new free land. This plaque is like a mini constitution for the market; a declaration that the market will always be free and public

Hello Everybody!

Hello! My name is Danielle and I am a biochemistry major. I was born and raised in SD, only about 30 min south of UCSD. I love animals and have chickens, dogs, cats and fish! I practically live on a little farm! I’m also a huge mystery buff. That’s actually kind of what inspired my interest in biochemistry, as forensic science plays a huge role in solving crimes! I hope to one day help solve mysteries like the greats!

My favorite book in the Hum series was definitely The Lais of Marie de France. I liked this book for a myriad of reasons. For one, it was one of the only female authors we got to read the world of. I realize. O realize for the time periods we studied there were a limited number of female authors to select from, but it would have been awesome to include a few more. I loved how these Lais were so engaging. They were funny, sad, romantic, empowering and do much more that made them an easy read. Most Hum books I struggle to get through, but for this one I read more then we even had to! It’s definitely one of the most interesting books I got to read in Hum.
