Mara wants to test the porosity (the space between the particles) of some soil from her yard. She does that by comparing the porosity of the soil with the porosity of sand and gravel by measuring how much water fit in a jar with the same amount of each material. She sets three identical jars on the counter. She puts a half cup of sand in one jar, a half cup of gravel in the second jar, and a half cup of her soil in the third jar. three jars, one with sand, one with gravel, and one with soil Make a prediction about how much water can fit in each jar. Which sample will hold the most water? Write down your predictions on the porosity of all three samples.

Edwin meese, former attorney general, from a speech delivered in 1985 (excerpted): “those who framed the constitution chose their words carefully; they debated at great length the most minute points. the language they chose meant something. it is incumbent upon the court to determine what that meaning was… “it is our belief that only ‘the sense in which the constitution was accepted and ratified by the nation,’ and only the sense in which laws were drafted and passed provide a solid foundation for adjudication. any other standard suffers the defect of pouring new meaning into old words, thus creating new powers and new rights totally at odds with the logic of our constitution and its commitment to the rule of law.” based on this quote, would you label meese as being a loose constructionist or an originalist? why? explain your reasoning in complete sentences and in your own words.
