Lecture 2.2+
The document discusses the origins and key aspects of the US Constitution. It notes that the Declaration of Independence established principles of natural rights and consent of the governed. The 13 colonies were initially independent states governed by the weak Articles of Confederation. In 1787, delegates drafted a new Constitution establishing a stronger federal government with powers like taxation, foreign relations and a Supreme Court. It also created checks and balances among the three branches of government. Later, a Bill of Rights was added guaranteeing individual liberties like freedom of religion and speech.

Federal Vs State Governments GOVT201IP1
The document discusses the differences between federal and state governments in the United States. It explains that the federal government was created by the Constitution to have balanced powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Some exclusive federal powers include printing money, declaring war, and regulating interstate commerce. State governments have exclusive powers such as issuing licenses, conducting local elections, and providing public health and safety. Both levels of government share some powers like setting up courts and taxation. When state and federal laws overlap, the federal government typically has supremacy and the Supreme Court can make final decisions on jurisdictional issues between the levels of government.
Branches of the United States Government
The document outlines the three branches of the United States government: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. It provides details on the powers and roles of each branch. The legislative branch is made up of the Senate and House of Representatives. The executive branch includes the president and vice president as well as the cabinet. The judicial branch is headed by the Supreme Court. The branches have a system of checks and balances to limit any one branch from becoming too powerful.

The three fifths 362203
The three-fifths compromise law of 1787 determined that slaves would be counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of taxation and legislative representation. This was a compromise between Northern and Southern states, as Southerners wanted slaves fully counted to increase their representation, while Northerners saw slaves as property and did not want them counted at all. Key figures like James Wilson, Roger Sherman, and Edmund Randolph proposed and debated various plans and ratios before agreeing to the three-fifths compromise, which increased Southern political power while still excluding slaves from full representation.

The U.S. Constitution outlines the structure and powers of the U.S. government in 7 articles. It establishes the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature with equal representation for states in the Senate and representation based on population in the House. There was debate between the Federalists, who supported a strong central government, and the Anti-Federalists, who wanted more state power and individual freedoms protected.
Anti Federalists 1 Ss
The document summarizes the views of the Anti-Federalists who opposed ratifying the US Constitution. It outlines their key concerns: (1) The Constitution gave too much power to the central government and reduced states' powers. (2) A large republic could not be sustained and would require a standing army funded by taxes. (3) The Constitution's checks and balances could be used to undermine individual liberties. (4) The lack of a Bill of Rights was the strongest argument against ratifying the Constitution.

Federalists vs. anti federalists
The document outlines the key differences between Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the debate over ratifying the US Constitution. Anti-Federalists opposed ratifying the Constitution as written and argued that the new national government would be too large and distant, could grow into a tyranny, and gave too much power to the central government and executive branch. Federalists supported ratifying the Constitution and countered that a central government with checks and balances could effectively govern the large nation and would not become a tyranny due to the separation of powers between branches of government.

Principles of US Constitutions
The document defines constitutional democracy as a system of government based on majority rule and consent of the people. It outlines key principles of US constitutional democracy such as federalism, separation of powers, checks and balances, popular sovereignty, limited government, and judicial review. These principles were influenced by historical documents like the Magna Carta and philosophers like Montesquieu and Locke. The document also notes potential criticisms of constitutional democracy around uninformed citizens and rule by majority over minority.
Confederation and the Constitution
The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses including that Congress could not tax or enforce laws, each state had equal representation regardless of population, and amendments required unanimous approval.

Water resources management should be an early focus for adaptation to climate change as water is both impacted by climate change and can help address some of its effects. An integrated water resources management approach is needed that considers economic, social and environmental factors. Collaboration across sectors and actors is also important to manage the impacts of climate change on water demand, the economy, and risks of water scarcity and disasters. Support for improved climate information systems, as well as linking climate experts with water management specialists, can help develop practical adaptation solutions.

Ratifying the constituon
The Constitution reflects the times in which it was written in several ways:
- It established a stronger central government than under the Articles of Confederation, which had proved too weak during the 1780s. However, it balanced this strength with checks and balances to avoid concentrating too much power.
- There was debate over how much power to give the federal government versus retaining power for the states. The Federalists favored a stronger national government while the Anti-Federalists wanted to preserve more state power and autonomy.
- Issues like slavery and the rights of states were controversial but compromises had to be made to get the Constitution ratified, so some issues were left ambiguous or unaddressed to allow for future interpretation and development.

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.

Govt 2306 ch_2
This document discusses the concept of federalism in the United States. It explains that federalism provides a system where states have independence while a national authority oversees the union. Both federal and state governments act on behalf of citizens through laws and elected officials. The document outlines reasons for federalism, including practical governance issues, liberty arguments, and distributing authority. It also discusses the distribution of powers between federal and state governments as laid out in the Constitution.
Chaper three
The document defines several key terms related to the US Constitution and government. It explains that the Constitution established the framework for government and divided powers between the federal and state governments. The three branches of government - legislative, executive, and judicial - were created with checks and balances to limit any one branch from gaining too much power. Power is shared between the national and state governments over expressed, reserved, and concurrent areas.
Constitution and federalism
The Constitutional Convention of 1787 saw competing plans between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan, with debates around state vs national power. There were also conflicts around slavery and representation that led to compromises, such as proportional representation in the House but equal representation in the Senate, and counting slaves as 3/5 of a person for representation. The Constitution established a federal system with separation of powers and checks and balances between the national and state governments.
Unit 2 Origins of American Government
The document outlines key concepts and foundations of American government, including ideas of consent of the governed, limited and representative government, separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism that were influenced by documents like the Magna Carta and English Bill of Rights. It also discusses the colonial governments, taxes imposed by Britain that led to unrest, the Articles of Confederation that failed to give enough power to the national government, and the compromises made during the creation and ratification of the US Constitution to establish the framework of government.
Constitution
The Great Compromise resolved disagreements between large and small states over representation in Congress. It created a bicameral legislature with two chambers - the Senate where every state gets two seats, and the House of Representatives where seats are allocated based on state population. This balanced the interests of both large and small states. The compromise also included the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for representation. These compromises helped ensure ratification of the new U.S. Constitution.
New Federalism 2 Ppt
Federalism is a system of government where power is distributed between a central federal government and state governments. There are three main types of federalism: dual federalism, cooperative federalism, and new federalism. Federalism aims to balance national unity with local diversity, while also providing checks and balances on power through division of authority between multiple levels of government.
The Purpose Of Federalism
Federalism is a system of government that divides power between a central federal government and state governments. Under the US Constitution, governmental power is shared between the federal government and state governments, with the federal government having broad general powers and states having more specific regulatory powers. The purpose of federalism is to ensure a balance of power between the federal and state governments.
The ConstitutionChapter 3CHAPTER 3 THE CONSTITUTION.docx
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.

Federalism
T
he term federal comes from the Latin foedus, which means a covenant, or an agree-
ment linking different entities. A federal (or federated) system of government is one in
which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political subunits.
Both types of government are linked in order to provide for the pursuit of common ends; at the
same time, each government maintains its own integrity. Federalism, the doctrine underlying
such a system, generally requires the existence of a central government tier and at least one ma-
jor subnational tier of governments (usually referred to as “states” or “provinces”). Each tier is
then assigned its own significant government powers. What may sound simple in the abstract
has proven quite difficult in practice. How exactly does a political system divide sovereignty
between two thriving branches of government without creating animosities among the com-
peting branches that may threaten to undermine the system in the first place?De

Conflicts
The document outlines four major conflicts that arose during the drafting of the US Constitution:
1) Small states vs large states over representation, resolved by the Great Compromise which created a bicameral legislature.
2) Northern vs Southern states over slavery, resolved by allowing its continued existence but regulating it and ending the international slave trade.
3) Disagreement over counting slaves for representation, resolved by the Three-Fifths Compromise which counted slaves as three-fifths of a person.
4) Views on the strength of the federal government, resolved by establishing a federal system with divided powers and checks and balances.
Chapter 4 & 5 Notes
Federalism refers to a system of government where power is divided between national and state governments. The Constitution grants express, implied, and inherent powers to the national government, while reserving other powers for the states. Concurrent powers are shared between the national and state governments. Local governments exercise power granted by their state governments. The Supremacy Clause establishes that the Constitution takes precedence over other laws. The two-party system in the U.S. developed from the Federalists and Anti-Federalists and is maintained by the electoral system and ideological consensus among Americans.

Lesson 1, Part 1: Foundations of American Government
"Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth."
-George Washington
· The Declaration of Independence
· The U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights
· The Enlightenment and Political Philosophy
Expected Outcomes
To understand the philosophical principles behind the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and how these principles influence the structure and process of government.
Overview
The United States, as a nation, was born of the American Revolution of 1776. This revolution cut the political ties between England and its American colonies. Many "Americans" living in the colonies had complained about harsh British rule. King George of England had ruled over the colonies with a heavy hand, increasing taxes with the Stamp Act and the Sugar Act, for example. These abuses began to divide the "patriots" in favor of independence and the "loyalists" in favor of the English Crown.
Tensions between the American colonials and British soldiers boiled over in the Boston Massacre, when a mob harassed British soldiers, who then fired their muskets into the crowd, killing three, mortally wounding two others, and injuring six.
Another famous incident which helped inspire the American Revolution was the Boston Tea Party of 1773, launched as a protest to the British Tea Act. This Act gave the British East India Company a tea monopoly, shutting out American traders. Bostonians disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians, then boarded the British ships and dumped all 342 containers of tea into the harbor.
Two years later, in 1775, there were more serious conflicts between colonials and British troops: the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the prelude for a full conflict. The American Revolutionary War was long, bloody and ended with the French-assisted victory of the American Continental Army in Yorktown in 1781.
An understanding of American government and politics should consider two documents related to this war and its aftermath. The first is the Declaration of Independence, which launched the American Revolutionary War; and the second is the U.S. Constitution, which replaced the post-war Articles of Confederation and which remains the highest law of the land.
This lesson analyzes these documents, noting how they were part of a trans-Atlantic Enlightenment movement with emphasis on reason, freethinking, natural law, popular sovereignty, and human equality. Many of these ideas are visible in the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson. These ideas provided the ideological and philosophical framework for the American Revolution.
After the expulsion of the English monarchy, the Articles of Confederation - in effect from 1776 to 1787 - turned the former colonies into largely autonomous states with a weak federal government. However, many people thought that this decentralized system did not solve the problem of providing for a common defense or for ...
