The ConstitutionChapter 3CHAPTER 3 THE CONSTITUTION.docxmehek4
This chapter discusses the Constitution and the system of federalism it established in the United States. It describes how power is shared between the national and state governments, with some powers reserved for each. Over time, the division of power has evolved, moving from a stricter "dual federalism" to a more cooperative model where governments work together. The chapter outlines the key articles and powers laid out in the Constitution, as well as how federalism aims to balance national unity with local control and innovation across states.
The document provides an overview of key events and documents in the founding of the United States, including the Continental Congresses, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution. It discusses the philosophical and political importance of the Declaration of Independence in establishing the principles of the new nation. It also describes problems that arose under the Articles of Confederation that led to calls for a stronger federal government as outlined in the Constitution.
The document discusses several compromises that helped establish the US federal system, including the Three-Fifths Compromise over representation of slaves in Congress, equal representation of states in the Senate under the Connecticut Compromise, and inclusion of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution to satisfy Anti-Federalists. It also describes how Federalists outmaneuvered Anti-Federalists at the Philadelphia Convention to draft a new Constitution with a stronger federal government.
The Founding leading to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Introduction to the Federalist Papers and their usefulness for ratification. Discuss the Bill of Rights.
The document summarizes the key events in early American political history and the development of the US government. It discusses how the colonists brought concepts of limited and representative government from England. It then covers the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, leading to the Constitutional Convention and debates between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. The Constitution was eventually ratified after compromises were reached, and the new government under George Washington was inaugurated in New York in 1789.
The document summarizes key points from Chapter 2 of a civics textbook. It discusses the basic concepts of government that English colonists brought to America, including the need for order, limited government, and representative rule. It also describes the influence of important English documents like the Magna Carta. The colonies were organized into three types: royal, proprietary, and charter colonies. The chapter then examines the political beginnings of the United States, including the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, calls for a stronger national government, and the compromises reached at the Constitutional Convention to create the new governing framework.
The origins of America's government can be traced back 200-300 years to ideas from the Enlightenment that influenced the colonists. The 13 original colonies established different forms of self-governance but faced increasing control from Britain in the mid-1700s, leading to calls of "no taxation without representation" and eventually the American Revolution. Delegates met at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and drafted the U.S. Constitution, which was then ratified and implemented, establishing a strong federal government of separated powers.

Enlightenment and the Country’s founding
The founding of the country was based in principles in the European enlightenment.
One of the Enlightenment’s goals was to base governance on rationality.
Prior to the Enlightenment, governance was justified through tradition rather than reason.
Locke v Hobbes
Hobbes argued that the rationality for government was to prevent the state of nature.
Hobbes argued that life without the state would be a war between all and nasty, brutish and short. He advocated for a dictator to prevent this.
Locke disagreed. Locke argued that people would rather deal with what he called the mischief of foxes and polecats than to be devoured by lions.
This means that conflicts between individuals are manageable, but a tyrannical state is impossible to avoid.
Locke’s justification for a state is the social contract which is an agreement that the state protects rights. However if a state abuses its people, then it loses its legitimacy.
Locke’s principles drove the American Revolution.
The Revolution
The colonies originally had more freedom to run their own land prior to the Seven Years War (war between France and England).
The colonists were prevented to settle past Appalachia.
To pay back the taxes that resulted from the Seven Years War, England levied taxes on the colonists.
Colonists demanded representation in Parliament.
Stamp Act, (Tax on Paper goods) Townsend Act (Tax on glass, Tea, Paint)
The Colonies boycotted British Manufacturing goods.
Britain sent troops to the colonies, leading to an altercation with the troops known as the Boston Massacre
Britain passed an act that granted a monopoly on the British East India Tea Company, which led to the “Boston Tea Party.”
The Revolution cont.
These acts led to the state of Massachusetts to revolt, followed by the rest of the colonies.
The Declaration of Independence laid out the principles that drove the colonies to revolt against England.
This listed out the ways that Britain abused its power regarding the Social Contract.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”
This quote has driven the ideals in which we govern ourselves.
Articles of Confederation
Immediately following the revolution, the new nation agreed on the Articles of confederation.
The articles of confederation is the governing body that ruled the nation between the end of the Revolution and the creation of the constitution.

1. The main characters names in The Shape of Things are Adam and E.docxketurahhazelhurst
1. The main characters names in "The Shape of Things" are Adam and Evelyn, suggesting the play is a retelling of the original creation myth. Compare the original “Adam and Eve” and characters in the Judea-Christian creation account to Adam and Evelyn. How is The Shape of Things similar or different from the traditional Judea-Xian account? (Keep in mind the main difference being art and artistic versus theistic creation).
2. The “garden” is the museum, and roped off sculpture with the fig leaf is, like the tree of good and evil, what you’re not supposed to touch. Why does the author present the museum as a creation space? How is the sculpture like the tree of good and evil? What happens when they cross the line and touch (or photograph) it?
3. Compare Evelyn and Pygmalion as creators. How does their gender effect their position in history and creation? How do both their creations critique the culture in which they exist? Describe the "changes" to society that Evelyn and Pygmalion aspire to in their art.
4. How much are the creators (Evelyn and Pygmalion) in control of creation and their art work? Where does their control break down? What is the difference between creator and creature; or is the creature reducible to its creator?
5. When does Adam assert his own mind, (if at all) or veer towards independence by not relying on the tools to achieve superficial beauty that Evelyn imparts?

1. The Institute of Medicine (now a renamed as a part of the N.docxketurahhazelhurst
1. The Institute of Medicine (now a renamed as a part of the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
) defined patient-centered care as: "Providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”[1] While this definition clearly emphasizes the importance of a patient’s perspective in the context of clinical care delivery, it does not allow managers to focus on the actual “person” inside the institutional role of the patient.
In the same sense that a person who is incarcerated in a prison may receive extremely humane treatment, the “person” is still defined into the role of an “inmate,” and as such cannot, by definition, be granted the same rights and privileges as a non-institutionalized member of the civil order enjoys. In other words, I may be placed in a cell with great empathy and understanding of my preferences, needs, and values, but I am still being locked-up in jail.
No one is suggesting that being admitted into a jail cell is the same as being admitted into a hospital bed. There are many obvious differences between the two, including the basic purpose of the two institutions.
But while much is different, what is the same is how a pre-existing set of structured behaviors and processes are used to firmly, and without asking or negotiating, radically transform a “regular” person into a defined role of a “patient” that then can be diagnosed, treated, and discharged back into the world once the patient has finished their “time” in the “system.”
While patient-centered care emphasizes the value of increased sensitivity to a patient’s preferences, needs, and values, what we want to focus on is how decisions made by healthcare leaders affect the actual experience of a person receiving that care.
So with the "real person" in mind, this week's question is:
What can healthcare leaders do in improve the actual personal experience that "real people" go through as our "patients?"
(Be sure to develop your answers AFTER you review the definition and roles of "Leadership" in the readings for this week).

1. The Documentary Hypothesis holds that the Pentateuch has a number.docxketurahhazelhurst
1. The Documentary Hypothesis holds that the Pentateuch has a number of underlying documents (alt., sources) that were ultimately gathered and sewn into the Pentateuch as we now have it. The method of separating those underlying documents is called source criticism. Please perform a source-critical analysis of Gen 1-3. In so doing, please identify the significant features that distinguish each underlying document. Note: There are many such features.
2. Why are covenants important in the Bible? What do they accomplish? Are they all the same, whether in structure or outlook? Do the different writers view them differently? What does the ancient Near Eastern background to the biblical covenant contribute to our understanding?
3. Dt 6:4 used to be translated
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD [YHWH] our God, the LORD [YHWH] is one.”
Currently, we translate
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD [YHWH] is our God, the LORD [YHWH] alone.”
In all likelihood, the second translation is grammatically preferable. What is the interpretive difference between “one” and “alone”? Is it significant? How, if at all, does this verse relate to the First Commandment? How does this verse relate to Gen 1:26, 3:22, and 11:7? How does this verse relate to the variant non-MT variant in Dt 32:8-9 (as reproduced in HarperCollins)? Why is any of this important?
Be sure to provide a careful, well-written essay which gives ample biblical examples (proof texts) to support the point(s) you wish to make.

1. Review the following request from a customerWe have a ne.docxketurahhazelhurst
1. Review the following request from a customer:
We have a need to replace the aging Signage Application. This application is housed in District 4 and serves the district as well as two other districts. We would like a new application that can be used statewide to track all information related to road signs.
The current system is old and doesn’t do most of what we need it to.
The current system has a whole bunch of reports, but no way for the user to update them by themselves without getting IT involved.
We also can’t create our own reports, on-demand, when we need to. Currently, data is entered into the application manually by Administrative Staff, but in the future, we would like to be able to take a picture of the road sign using a phone app, and have it automagically populate the database with geospatial location and other information. We thought about having a Smart Watch interface, but we don’t need that. Also, the current method does not have any way to manage the quality of the data that is entered, so there is a lot of garbage information there. There is no way to centrally manage security access, with the existing application. We want to get real time alerts when a sign gets knocked over in an accident and have a dashboard that shows where signs have been knocked over across the state. This is kind of important, but not super-critical. We need to store location information, types of signs, when a new sign is installed, who installed it, etc. We plan to provide the phone app to drivers in each district who will drive around, take pictures of the signs, and upload them to the database at the end of each day, or in realtime, if a data connection is available.
Back in Central Office, reviewers will review the sign information and validate it. A report will be printed every month with the results and a map. There are probably other things, but we can’t think of anything else right now.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

• royalists.

• small farmers.
The Founding and the History Principle
Prior to the 1760s, the British were preoccupied with wars with
France across
several continents, so colonists were largely left to manage their
own affairs.
As the war with France ended, the British sought to extract
revenue from the
colonies and to regulate trade.
This history matters, as colonists had become used to greater
autonomy.
British Taxes and Colonial Interests
When the war with France ended, the British Crown began
imposing a series of
modest taxes on the colonists, in part to pay some of the costs
of imperial
defense.
The particular types of taxes—levies on stamps and commercial
goods, such as
3. sugar and molasses—caused several of the colonial interests to
begin to
organize against the Crown.
Clicker Question 1: Rationality Principle
Which of the following sectors’ interests in colonial society
were mostly likely
to organize in opposition to taxes on commerce such as the
Stamp Act and the
Sugar Act?
a) New England merchants
b) southern planters
c) royalists
d) shopkeepers, artisans, and laborers
e) small farmers
Clicker Question 1: Rationality Principle (Answer)
Which of the following sectors’ interests in colonial society
were mostly likely
to organize in opposition to taxes on commerce such as the
Stamp Act and the
Sugar Act?
a) New England merchants – Correct
4. b) southern planters – Correct
c) royalists
d) shopkeepers, artisans, and laborers
e) small farmers
A Coalition for Revolt
Taxes and regulation began to move merchants and planters
away from their
royalist allies and toward the more radical interests in colonial
society.
Events such as the Boston Massacre (1770) fanned the flames of
anti-British
sentiment.
Political Strife and the Radicalizing of the Colonists
A series of provocative acts and counter-acts radicalized the
colonists and led
to the Declaration of Independence.
• Boston Tea Party (1773)
• First Continental Congress (1774)
• Lexington and Concord (1775)
• Second Continental Congress (1776)
5. This is the collective action principle in action.
The Declaration of Independence
“All men are created equal.”
Governments derive their legitimacy from the consent of the
governed.
When a government no longer serves the needs of the people,
the people have
aright to revolt.
The Declaration does not create a new government.
The Revolutionary War
The War of Independence was long and bloody, with tens of
thousands of
casualties.
It represented a significant challenge for the inexperienced and
independent
colonial militias, although they ultimately prevailed.
The Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation became the first written
American constitution.
6. In the Articles, America was 13 sovereign states with a weak
central
government.
• No standing army
• Weak executive
• No ability to tax and spend
• Problems of international standing
• Shays’s Rebellion
Constitutional Convention (1787): Key Issues
Key issues
• Revise or scrap the Articles of Confederation
• National power versus state power
• Extent of democracy
• Slavery
Constitutional Convention (1787): Some Answers
Some answers
• The Great Compromise provided states with equal
7. representation in the
Senate and representation based on population in the House.
• The Three-Fifths Compromise postponed the divisive issue of
slavery by
counting slaves as three-fifths of a person for the purpose of
apportioning
House seats.
Representation by State, 2010

The Constitution
The Constitutional Convention produced a Constitution with
seven articles.
• The first three articles outline the structure and power of the
legislative,
executive, and judicial branches.
• Other articles relate to national power, the amendment
process, and the
ratification process.
It is a brief document.
8. Article I: Legislative Branch
Bicameralism—division of a legislative assembly into two
chambers or
houses.
Expressed powers—powers explicitly granted to the federal
government by
the Constitution.
Necessary and proper clause—also referred to as the “elastic
clause,” it
provides Congress with the authority to make all laws needed
and to employ all
means “necessary and proper” to carry them out.
Article II: Executive Branch
Article II provides for an independent, stronger, and more
“energetic” executive
than in the Articles of Confederation.
The president is commander in chief, chief executive, and chief
diplomat.
Other powers include the nomination of executive and judicial
officials and the
power to grant reprieves and pardons.
The president is indirectly elected.
Article III: Judicial Branch
9. Article III provides for a Supreme Court and other federal
courts Congress can
establish.
Judges have lifetime terms and are nominated by the president
and confirmed
by the Senate.
Article III does not explicitly provide for judicial review—the
power of the
courts to declare actions of the legislative and executive
branches
unconstitutional.
Clicker Question 2: Articles I, II, and III
Which of the first three articles is longest and most specific in
its grant of
governmental power?
a) Article I—legislative branch
b) Article II—executive branch
c) Article III—judicial branch
Clicker Question 2: Articles I, II, and III (Answer)
Which of the first three articles is longest and most specific in
its grant of
governmental power?
10. a) Article I—legislative branch – Correct
b) Article II—executive branch
c) Article III—judicial branch
Articles I, II, and III: The Separation of Powers
Articles IV and VI: National Unity and Power
Article IV provides reciprocity among the states through the
“full faith and
credit” clause and the “privileges and immunities” clause.
Article VI promotes national power through the national
supremacy clause—a
clause stating that laws made by the federal government are
supreme and
superior to state or local laws.
Article V: Amending the Constitution
Article V sets forth the procedures for amending the
Constitution.
Article VII: Ratification
11. Article VII calls for ratifying conventions in each of the 13
states.
The Constitution is deemed ratified when 9 of the 13 states vote
to ratify.
Constitutional Limits on the National Government’s Power
Separation of powers—division of governmental power among
several
institutions using checks and balances.
Federalism—division of power between a central government
and regional
governments.
Bill of Rights—first 10 amendments to U.S. Constitution
ensuring certain
rights and liberties to the people.
The Fight for Ratification
The Fight for Ratification: Federalists versus Antifederalists
Federalists favored ratification and a stronger national
government.
Antifederalists opposed ratification but disagreed among
themselves about
what the alternative should be.
12. At issue:
Nature of representation
Threat of tyranny—unjust rule by those in power
Scope and location of governmental power
Clicker Question 3: Contemporary Comparisons
Which contemporary group’s ideas do the Antifederalists’ ideas
resemble?
a) Occupy Wall Street
b) Tea Party
c) Green Party
d) Libertarian Party
Clicker Question 3: Contemporary Comparisons (Answer)
Which contemporary group’s ideas do the Antifederalists’ ideas
resemble?
a) Occupy Wall Street – Correct
b) Tea Party – Correct
c) Green Party – Correct
13. d) Libertarian Party – Correct
The Fight for Ratification: The Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights is one key result of the fight for ratification.
Federalists were forced to agree to adopt a series of
amendments to the
Constitution immediately after ratification.
Spells out protections for individuals and states from Congress,
the executive
branch, the courts, and the national government
The Bill of Rights: Analysis of Its Provisions
Beyond the Constitution: Limiting Governmental Power 1
The Federalists and Antifederalists agreed that governmental
power had to be
checked; they also agreed that “mere parchment barriers” would
not be enough.
In Federalist 10, James Madison outlines the strongest argument
from the
Federalist camp for why popular government will succeed in the
new United
States.
14. Beyond the Constitution: Limiting Governmental Power 2
In Federalist 10, James Madison argues
• The key problems of democracy are instability and
factionalism.
• We must control the effects of factionalism:
• Representation and “filtering” of public opinion.
• “Extend the sphere”—take in a greater variety of interests.
The American “solution” is that we will agree to disagree!
Amending the Constitution
There have only been 17 amendments to the Constitution since
1791.
Two of these cancel each other out (Prohibition).
The remaining 15 amendments primarily involve:
• Expansion of the electorate
• Change in elections
• Expansion/limitation of government power
Expansion of the Electorate

The perpetuation of our political institutions requires that
citizens must not
tolerate any violation of the law, no matter how small.
We should work to change unjust laws, but they must be
observed while they
are in force.
16. King, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”
King argues for civil disobedience in the face of unjust or
immoral laws.
Individuals have a moral duty to break an unjust law.
Individuals must accept the consequences “openly and lovingly”
in order to
arouse the conscience of the community.

Representation in Congress: States’ Ranks
18. Thirteenth Amendment, which will
abolish slavery, effectively preserving the freedom of former
black slaves. The movie primarily
focuses on the conflict within the House of Representatives and
Lincoln’s own cabinet. Further,
it captures the feud between Democrats and Republicans and
radical Republicans versus
conservative Republicans.
One of the earliest points within the film that I found to relate
to the text was
Lincoln’s assertion of his powers as president (p. 172–174). He
states, “I decided that the
Constitution gives me war powers,” and “I decided I needed
them to exist to uphold my oath to
the Constitution.” Lincoln takes advantage of his powers to
confiscate slaves from the South,
which is legal only because slaves were viewed as property, and
emancipate them in the North.
The legality of this is admittedly slippery due to the status of
the South, which leads into the next
point from the textbook covered in the movie: types of
government and leadership (p.
170).
19. In a later scene, Lee Pace’s character, Fernando Wood, a
Democratic Congressman from
New York, launches into a diatribe against Lincoln’s perceived
abuse of these powers. He
berates Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus, free press, and
states’ rights, and this relates back
to the text’s example of Lincoln serving as a constitutional
dictator during the Civil War. The
movie focuses largely on the democratic process. For instance,
one of the main points of
conflict is trying to secure two-thirds of the House members to
vote in favor of the Thirteenth
Amendment.
Lastly, an overarching, yet underlying theme throughout the
movie, is the debate over
civil rights (p. 84). One Congressman in the film did not want
to vote in favor of the Thirteenth
Amendment because he did not believe that black people should
be emancipation. Further, he
argued that it would eventually lead to women being granted the
right to vote. Some members
of Congress were only open to the Thirteenth Amendment after
a civil rights advocate stated that
20. the amendment would “only make black people equal before the
law, not equal in actuality.”
This alludes to the Jim Crowe era that is also discussed in the
textbook. In the final act of the
film, progress is made toward equality with the Fourteenth
Amendment being discussed.
However, Lincoln is assassinated before he sees black men
being secure the right to vote.
Overall, I would give this movie 4.5 out of 5 popcorn bowls. If
I were being completely
biased I would give it 5 out of 5 popcorn bowls, but I am
docking it a half point only because the
film is not completely accurate. After all, while Lincoln was
opposed slavery, he was known to
be ambivalent towards it on a legal basis and his main goal
during the Civil War was the
restoration of the Union. Otherwise, it is a very good film, and
I believe Daniel
Day-Lewis portrayed Lincoln extremely well.
