The New Deal dramatically changed the role of the US government in the economy and society by expanding the social welfare state and moving away from laissez-faire policies.

We have all heard about the Founding Fathers and their vision of making America a melting pot, but the trials
and tribulations of establishing the government of the United States fly a bit further under the radar. This unit
will examine the thoughts and strategies behind
our nation’s founding and the ideas and principles
utilized to create our Constitution.
In the Beginning
What is politics? What part do we as citizens have
in the political process? The United States has a
political culture that was begun during colonial times
and refined during the Revolutionary War. When the
colonists declared their independence from Great
Britain, the Founding Fathers declared that
Americans were entitled to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. Along with this entitlement
also came a duty because nothing is ever free. It
should be our active goal as U.S. citizens to
understand how politics affects every part of our
lives from the moment we are conceived until we
depart this world. We should be informed of what
those who represent us are doing so that we can
guide their steps and keep them accountable.
Early American core values for governing were
centered on the ideas of liberty, individualism, equality, and self-government. Establishing these ideals was
not without issue. The First and Second Continental Congresses were fraught with turbulence and animosity,
as were the weeks.
Constitutional Convention16
The document discusses the Articles of Confederation and the Constitutional Convention. It explains that the Articles of Confederation created a weak national government and a loose alliance between the states. Problems arose under this system, demonstrating the need for a stronger central government, which led to the Constitutional Convention. The Convention debated issues of representation and slavery, and sought to address the weaknesses of the Articles through the new Constitution.
Slide 3 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.

The document defines several key terms from early American history and outlines several problems with the Articles of Confederation, including that Congress could not tax, the nation lacked a unified court system, and there was no national currency. It then discusses several compromises and plans debated at the Constitutional Convention, including the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, Three-Fifths Compromise, and the eventual Great Compromise, which created a bicameral Congress.
Mariachloe Newnationstudyguide
The document is a study guide about early United States history from 1790 to 1970. It provides definitions of key terms like precedent, foreign policy, and cabinet. It describes daily life and common jobs in 1790. It also discusses geography, important figures like the first Vice President and Secretaries, monetary issues, the debate over strict vs loose interpretation of the Constitution, the creation of the national bank, foreign policy decisions, and George Washington's advice on the economy, politics, and foreign relations.
9the federalist era
The document summarizes the development of political parties during the Federalist Era in the United States. It explains that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson disagreed on economic and foreign policy issues, as well as the degree of power held by the federal government. These disagreements led to the formation of the first two political parties - the Federalists led by Hamilton and the Republicans led by Jefferson. The election of 1796 was the first in which presidential candidates openly identified with political parties, with John Adams elected as the Federalist candidate and Thomas Jefferson becoming Vice President as the Republican candidate.
Precedent georgewashington
George Washington set many important precedents as the first President of the United States. He established traditions like choosing advisors from different political parties to form his Cabinet, and not seeking a third term, setting a two-term limit that later became law. Washington also oversaw the development of the first two-party system between the Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton, and the Democratic-Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson.
Constitutional Convention 2018
The document discusses the Articles of Confederation, the first attempt at a national constitution after the American Revolution. It summarizes that the Articles created a weak national government with little power over the states. It then explains some of the weaknesses of this system, like conflicts between states over currency and trade. The document argues this showed the need to revise the Articles, leading to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and the drafting of a new U.S. Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation.

Constitution Tested Part 2
The War of 1812 began as Britain and France continued their war, with Britain seizing American ships. The US declared war on Britain in 1814. The war ended in a draw, with the White House being burned by the British. Key outcomes included America wanting to continue its policy of neutrality and Native Americans losing the British as an ally in the west.
Constitution Tested Part 3
The document discusses several key events during Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1828 to 1836. It summarizes that Jackson represented the common man and was re-elected in 1832. It also mentions that Jackson instituted the spoils system and forced the relocation of the Cherokee nation on the Trail of Tears. The document also briefly discusses the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 that drew attention to women's rights and inequality.
Ppt Testing The Constitution
- The document provides background on important events and issues during George Washington's presidency through the early 1800s.
- It discusses the challenges Washington faced as the first president in establishing precedents, as well as his efforts to strengthen the new government through actions like advocating for the Bill of Rights.
- Tensions grew between the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, exemplified by clashes between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson over economic policy.
Early National Period & North
During the Early National Period (1800-1830), several factors helped unite the growing United States, including improvements in transportation infrastructure and Henry Clay's American System. Better roads, canals like the Erie Canal, and railroads made transporting goods and settlers moving westward more efficient. Clay's plan aimed to further strengthen national unity through investments in transportation, establishing a protective tariff, and recreating the national bank. The document also discusses early industrialization, urbanization, society, and immigration trends in the Northern states during this period.
Voting and Elections
The document discusses various types of elections in the United States including primary elections, general elections, and presidential elections. It describes the electoral college system and explains that three recent presidential elections resulted in the winner of the popular vote not winning the electoral college. The document also covers congressional races, voter turnout rates, and some common reasons why people do not vote.
Public Opinion
Public opinion polls in the 2000 US presidential election showed shifting views on who the winner was in the aftermath of the contested Florida results. Public opinion is shaped through political socialization from family, schools, peers, media and social groups. It is measured using polls that have shortcomings like sampling error. Political parties have evolved over time but remain important vehicles for mass participation, with national conventions and platforms.
The Courts Take 2
The U.S. court system is triangular with many trial courts at the bottom, fewer appeals courts in the middle, and a supreme court at the top at both the federal and state levels. Trial courts determine facts and apply the law, while appellate courts review trials for legal errors. The U.S. Supreme Court mainly hears appeals involving constitutional issues or disagreements between circuit courts. Specialized courts exist at both federal and state levels to handle specific areas like bankruptcy, tax, or juvenile cases. Jurisdiction and venue determine where a case can be properly filed and heard.

Chapter 9 Part II
The document discusses theories about how bureaucracies operate and their role in government. It describes how bureaucracies have become more diverse and hire based on merit rather than political patronage. Bureaucracies can be ineffective implementers of policy due to unclear goals, lack of resources, and inflexible routines. They regulate many aspects of the economy and everyday life using both command-and-control and incentive-based approaches. Congress and the president seek to influence bureaucracies through appointments, budgets, hearings and rewriting legislation.
Chapter 9
The document discusses the development of the federal bureaucracy in the United States. It describes how the bureaucracy grew out of the need to implement and enforce laws passed by Congress. It outlines Max Weber's model of bureaucracy as having clear lines of authority, specialized divisions of labor, and decisions based on merit rather than patronage. The spoils system formerly gave political parties control over civil service jobs, but the Pendleton Act established the modern merit-based civil service system.

Constintution Tested Part 1
- 1. The Constitution Tested 1789 - 1860
- 8. Washington’s Foreign Policy Proclamation of Neutrality – 1793 Alexander Hamilton Support FRANCE! They are revolting against an oppressor just like we did 14 years ago! They favor democracy! Support BRITAIN! Democracy and freedom does not give the French the right to murder! Thomas Jefferson “ Whereas it appears that a state of war exists between…Great Britain, on the one part, and France on the other; and the duty and interest of the United States require, that they should with sincerity and good faith adopt and pursue a conduct friendly and impartial [to not take sides] towards the [warring] powers; I…therefore…warn the citizens of the United States to avoid all acts and proceedings whatsoever…. And I do hereby make known, that any citizen of the United States shall be…liable to punishment…by committing, aiding, or abetting hostilities against any Powers, or by carrying to any of them those articles which are deemed [prohibited] by the nations…. Task: What is Washington’s position? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Washington wanted to stay neutral. We should not choose any side. If anyone is caught helping out either side, they will be punished.
- 10. Washington’s Farewell Address “ The great rule of conduct is for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our [trade] relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far we have already formed alliances, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop… Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course… Why [give up] the advantages of so peculiar a situation?...Why be interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity with the toils of European ambition, [competition], interest or [behavior without reason]? It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are not at liberty to do it…” Task: What was the main message of Washington’s Farewell Address? ______________________________________________________________________________________ Task: What should we do to the alliances we already have? ______________________________________________________________________________________ Task: What enables us to follow the policy suggested by Washington? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ AVOID PERMANENT ALLIANCES – STAY NEUTRAL!!!!! We are isolated from other countries. We have oceans to the left and right and no neighbors to start trouble with. Therefore, we can afford to be neutral. We should honor them.
