AnthonyF:

1. The tariffs protected the North’s manufacturing economy, which is why the North supported them. The south was against them because other nations imposed retaliatory tariffs.

2. As secession is not outlawed by the Constitution and the Tenth Amendment says “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively”. Such facts imply that it is constitutional. The Sixth Article of the Constitution states that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and therefore it is illegal for a state to nullify a law.

3. Thomas Jefferson was by far the most conservative president after George Washington. The only time Jefferson overstepped his authority was in the Louisiana Purchase and even then he made it right by doing it in treaty form.

4. The War of 1812 was in a sense necessary to establish America as a strong and capable nation. The war defined American borders, proved that the America armed forces were capable of beating a European power, and laid the foundation for the Monroe Doctrine. If America had not fought the British then they would of fought the British later

5. Why America did not get involved with the Haitian revolution, contrary to the common perception it was not the fear of the French that stopped America from getting involved because America had just beaten the French in the French Naval War. While the South’s fear of slave uprising was a factor the greatest one by far is George Washington’s Farewell Address because it warns against getting involved in foreign conflicts.

8. The most surprising is that Washington State was jointly governed by America and Britain

H1. Paying less then three cents an acre and securing the Mississippi river was well worth the $15 million. As for the constitutionality of the purchase it was done in treaty form so it had to pass congress.

H3. Is it wrong for a politician to cut a deal with another politician like the "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Clay? Seeing that the Constitution does not block deals it is legal. Such a deal is very much in the spirit of the free market and therefore it isn’t wrong to make.

H4. Andrew Jackson was the first president to be elected who was the “average man”. He also established the power of the presidency. I would of voted for him because America needed a hard-line president at the time to keep the Union together. Had there not been an Andrew Jackson the Civil War would have been deadlier and more divisive

1. The Articles of Confederation didn’t allow for any armed forces or for any effective diplomatic actions. The lack of an armed force insured that nations and pirates would violate borders and harass shipping. A weak diplomatic branch meant that over two million was spent in payoffs.

2. In between writing the Declaration of Independence and two terms as president Thomas Jefferson was the second most influential Founding Father.

4. Washington leadership came out in the near mutiny of 1784. Not only did he convince more then ten thousand men to wait for compensation he also convinced nearly a dozen generals to wait

6. The most important aspect of the Northwest Ordinance was its blocking of slavery above the Ohio River. The second most important thing it did was create a path to statehood.

7. John Adams was a one-term president because he failed to improve the economy and he expanded the government’s power beyond the constitution.

8. Concentrating all the power in the state legislator was not the best of ideas because it allows anyone in power to create laws to stay in power.

H1. I would have strongly supported the Constitution. Its unique balance of individual rights, states rights, and federal rights along with the ability to amend it make it one of the best governments of all time.

H2. Kentucky and Virginia did not have the right to nullify a law because of the sixth Article which says “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby”. It is for the courts to strike down an unconstitutional law. If a state is dissatisfied by the state of affairs it can secede.

H4. I would have made education easier to obtain and secured the right to recall.

2. The first and most commonly stated reason is the French and Indian war. It helped cause the revolution because it encouraged Indian attacks and hurt the English economy. The second reason is the way England exercised control over the colonies. The French and Indian war had shown the military power of the colonies and England wanted to slow down the colonies growth but the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment had made that impossible to do.

3. Vermont was not a state until 1791.in the opening days of the revolution Ethan Allen led a small band of men to take Fort Ticonderoga. They burnt the fort and used the forts cannons to drive the British out of Boston.

4. The “Tea Party” gets its name from the Boston Tea Party. They have little to do with each other because the original Tea Party was about government monopolies while the new tea party is about taxes.

5. As the Great Awakening spread without regard to borders it made the colonist realize that they had things in common and it promoted religious freedom.

6. The French and Indian war was aptly named despite the fact that the British won. The war decided once and for all that Americans would speak English. It also strengthened the British hold on North America.

7. The two most inflammatory laws that the British passed were Tea Act and the Coercive Act. The Tea Act gave the East India Company a monopoly on tea. The Coercive Act shut down Boston harbor and installed a military governor

H1. In order for political cartoons to be effective one needs to be up on current events. As most people at the time were well informed of the state of affairs the political cartoon was effective in uniting the colonist. The cartoon was drawn to unite the colonist during the French and Indian war but its greatest effect was in the American Revolution.

H4. One of the two similarities is the assumption of human rights. The second one is the free market economy. The most striking difference was land ownership. In England it was rare for someone to own land but in America it was easy to own land. Another difference was work ethic as the working class British had lost the ability to better themselves.

H5. George Washington was great but he is considered great for the wrong reasons. The current picture of George Washington is a great general and president. In reality he was one of the worst generals in American history. His few victories were a result of his quartermasters’ ability to move men and supplies. The thing that makes him truly great is his leadership and his ability to judge men.

H4.Massachusetts was one that lost its charter and it has on of the more interesting reasons. The king revoked Massachusetts’s charter for rebellious actions around 1773.

H5.Someone had said in class that the greater the separation of church and state in a colony the greater the amount of slaves/ slave trade in the colony. One fact that was overlooked was that the vast majority of shipping companies that where involved in the slave trade where owned by Massachusetts businessmen. The amount of slaves/ slave trade is better linked to freedom of religion
