Constitution and Beyond


This week and next week we are going to cover the Constitution (and the importance surrounding it), Jeffersonian Era, and Jacksonian Era. Note - we will quickly talk about many things and skip over some. For instance, our coverage of the War of 1812 will be very brief.

The Constitution STUDY QUESTIONS:


1) What are the three branches of government and what are the powers of each?
2) How can these branches check and balance each other?
3) What were the compromises to the constitution?
4) Who wrote the Federalist papers?
5) What was the Bill of Rights? Why did some states demand its inclusion before they ratified the constitution?
6) What were the anti-federalists main fears about the constitution?
