Protest of rule 6
The people were happy with how everything was going at first, but later on more and more women decided they wanted to work. They felt they had more worth than just tending to a house, a child, and keeping a husband happy. They created a secret group, (WWS) we will strive, and they mobbed to the building known as town hall. They stated there wants and were ignored. They then stopped doing their duties as women were sought to do, and many even went to jail still stubborn. -
Revise of rule 6
The government of 5 soon realized that the women were not going to stop. The police team they had formed were constantly taking women in and out of the jail. This led the 5 to revise rule 6, stating that both man and women shall work upon choice to support their children and living, so as one partner is working. If singled then he/she shall work. -

moms revolt
Mothers were getting concerned that age 10 was too late of an age to start teaching their children basic needs of math, reading and writing.

Children now had to be at least 4 years of age to attend school -
People v Government
This was a revolutionary war. The people were mad and believed that they needed a better government system, along with needing rights and freedoms. The war last for 5 years until the govern of 5 called peace and announced they would be giving the people what they wanted. -
The big speech
The government of 5 came out with a big speech. They said that the people needed a way, that the government needed guidelines to follow and standards to meet. They needed a court system and a document of what they called the constitution. The people needed freedom and rights in fair trade of following rules, thus releasing the rule of women and children having no voice and allowing them to legally take part in society and their community.
