Assignment 2 American ConstitutionFollowing the Revolutionary War.docx

BenitoSumpter862

Assignment 2: American Constitution Following the Revolutionary War and separation from England, the need for a new government was clear. A group of men, who became known as the “nation’s founders” or Founding Fathers, developed a new government based on principles and beliefs they knew through their experiences, readings, and study. The Founding Fathers had a great deal in common with each other, including property interests, education, and extensive political experience. These common experiences and birthrights created a strong consensus about what should be incorporated into the government that would replace England’s. Troubles developed immediately upon establishment of the United States of America with the 1781 Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Economic difficulties and means of dividing power between leaders and competing interests caused conflict. The conflicts had to be resolved, and some of the Founding Fathers and others, who would come to be known as the Framers went to Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, it became apparent immediately that the Articles could not be revised, and therefore, they were abandoned, and the Framers set about to create a new form of government. Though the effort was eventually successful and resulted in the Constitution, there was a great deal of conflict during its development in the summer of 1787. The form of government established incorporated the ideas of diverse groups, as well as the Framers’ recognition of the need for compromise. Research the history of the American Constitution using the Argosy University online library resources. Respond to one question from each of the question sets A and B. A. Creating the Constitution Consider the three constitutional proposals: the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Great Compromise, also known as the Connecticut Compromise. If you were a delegate and without the experience of the past 200 years, which constitutional proposal would you have supported? Why? Why do you think the framers were silent on the issue of slavery in the wording of the Constitution? What were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation? What were the issues in the Constitutional Convention? Who were the Federalists and Anti-Federalists? B. Living with the Constitution What are the formal and informal methods of constitutional change? How do checks and balances work in the lawmaking process today? Which current and important events do you think are examples of the success of checks and balances? Do you think the Constitution is a relevant political document for the twenty-first century? What new amendments might be appropriate today? Write your response to each in 150–200 words. By Saturday, February 4, 2017 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area .

KIMBERLY’S POST: In this course I have learned that history provides us with a crystal-clear picture of how various aspects of society, including technology, governmental systems, and even society as a whole, functioned in the past, enabling us to comprehend how it came to function in the manner that it does today. History enables us to observe and comprehend how societies and individuals behaved. For instance, even when a nation is at peace, we can evaluate war by looking back on previous events. The information that is used to make laws or theories about various aspects of society can be found in history. What I’ve learned in this history class can assist us in becoming more educated citizens. It reveals who we are as a group and being aware of this is essential to preserving a democratic society. Through educated debates and the refinement of people's fundamental beliefs, this information enables individuals to take an active role in the political arena. People can even alter their previous beliefs with the knowledge of history. During this course, I have gained a sense of identity from our history. In fact, one of the main reasons why history is still taught in schools all over the world is because of this. Historians have gained insight into the origins of nations, families, and groups, as well as their evolution and development over time. An individual can comprehend how their family interacted with larger historical change when they take it upon themselves to delve deeply into their own family's history. SHELIA’S POST: In this American History II course, I feel I have grown academically. My academic growth is reflected not only in the grades I have received but in the treasure of priceless and important historical information I have been exposed to this semester. I have received, learned and have grown as a student in this course because I have had the opportunity to obtain valuable American History that was not covered in my previous history courses from presidents, wars, to supreme court rulings, house of representatives, congress and other government . I was glad to have current American History as well as much needed African American History in this course. Although a virtual class Mr. Fogg assignments allowed us to freely write and discuss our thoughts with each other as student peers and was availble for conferences. The most memorable lesson will be the CPI: Longview Red Hot Summer because I have personal ties in Longv.
