Separation of Powers
The document discusses the upcoming Philadelphia Convention where delegates will discuss creating a new U.S. Constitution. It provides background information on why a new constitution is needed, such as having a strong national government, elected representatives, and separation of powers. It prompts the reader to take on the role of a delegate from New York and write a letter to a friend in South Carolina about whether they should attend the convention. The objective is for readers to understand the reasons for a new constitution and ideas the Founders agreed to include about government.
Call for Constitutional Convention
The document discusses the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and the importance of Shay's Rebellion, which led to fears of abuse of power and the creation of a weak national government under the Articles. Specifically:
1) The founding fathers feared the abuse of power after witnessing governments overreach their authority.
2) Shay's Rebellion showed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and the need for a stronger national government.
3) This led the founding fathers to create a national government with a separation of powers and system of checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power.
Lynate presentation to CCL speakers
This document discusses taking action on climate change through Citizens Climate Lobby. It encourages contacting members of Congress, seeking media exposure through letters to the editor, and meeting with representatives and their staff. While progress may seem impossible, it notes other countries have implemented climate policies and asks readers to help by taking small actions like calling for congressional hearings on market-based climate solutions with testimony from conservative economists. It emphasizes the importance of action for future generations.
Week 4.2 constitutional convention
The Constitutional Convention began on May 25, 1787. George Washington was elected president of the convention. The first rule they passed was one of secrecy, prohibiting leaks for four months. Their first major decision was to replace the Articles of Confederation rather than just reform them. There was conflict between large and small states over representation, but this was resolved by the Connecticut Compromise which created a bicameral legislature with representation based on population in the lower house and equal in the upper house.
Spotlight,Timothy Geithner
This document is a mock interview guide for Timothy Geithner containing 21 questions for his role as the 75th United States Secretary of the Treasury. The questions cover a range of topics from his first year in office and handling of the financial crisis to specific programs implemented under his tenure and international relationships. The document provides background on Geithner and cites multiple sources to inform the questions.
Presidential Powers and the Bomb
The President has several roles including chief of state, chief executive, chief diplomat, commander-in-chief, chief legislator, chief of party, and chief guardian of the economy. As chief executive, the President oversees the executive branch and appoints cabinet members, and as commander-in-chief the President is in charge of the armed forces. The document evaluates the President's role and power, particularly the decision to drop the atomic bomb, and asks if the powers given to the President are appropriate.
Checks and balances +headlines cards
1. Checks and balances means that each branch of government can check the power of another branch. The President can veto legislation passed by Congress, but Congress can override a veto with a two-thirds majority vote.
2. The President appoints Supreme Court Justices and other federal judges, but these appointments must be approved by the Senate.
3. Federal courts can check the power of Congress by reviewing laws for constitutionality.
Experiencing the weaknesses of the articles of confederation
1. Students took on roles as delegates to the Constitutional Convention to debate how states should be represented in Congress under the new government. They discussed three proposals but failed to reach agreement.
2. The delegates took a break to discuss compromises, realizing they would lose points if no solution was found.
3. After further debate and consideration of the issues, most of the delegates signed the new Constitution, though some refused due to disagreements over state representation and other issues. The activity allowed students to experience the challenges and need for compromise faced by the actual delegates.
