For our We The People unit in social studies we had been put into groups of four or five. And the groups were either captains, crew, author and friends, or ship owners. There was also a navel review board that asked all of the groups questions to see what they believe in and stand by their beliefs. The groups had to write their opinion about limits on power for the captains and I was is the captain crew so I had to defend why captains should had limits but not do whatever they wanted either. It was a lot of work to write defenses and reasons why we shouldn't have many limits on the ship. Eventually it was our turn and our group was the first group up so we all felt like all of the pressure was on us. We as captains also had a disadvantage because we were the first ones up so we couldn't hear what anyone from the other groups were saying so we couldn't defend what they were saying about why captains should have limits on their rights as captains.
Some of the reasons why us as captains shouldn't have many limits is that the crew mates should be punished so we can punish them if needed. We had to defend some of the things that the crew mates would have said if they asked us. One of those probably would have been whipping. And whipping is a big thing for the crew mates. They think that we will hurt them and even kill them but I remember reading that one of the limits were that the captain may not kill anyone on the ship. The navel ship board asked us what are some of the reasons that the captain should be able to whip someone. We
