There were many issues and events that led to the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution.
Please choose ONE of the following questions (some questions have more than 1 part). Respond in a minimum of 250 words and cite your sources. Remember to respond to at least two other people before the week is over. When possible, respond to someone who chose a different question than you did.
Be sure to:
· Make a robust reply to demonstrate understanding of the topic (approx. 200 words or more)
· Cite the sources you use to help you answer the question
· Answer in your own words and identify any phrases copied from a source by placing them in quotation marks and citing (should only be a small portion of your reply - majority should be in your own words)
· Reply to at least one other person in the thread with a substantive comment that demonstrates your own knowledge of the topic and moves the discussion forward. Strive to go above and beyond and respond to even more!
· Try to post earlier in the week so that we can all have a good discussion throughout the week
Questions to Choose From
(note: the readings from the Federalist and Anti Federalist papers can be found in the instructor insights.)
1. Federalist Paper #1 states that “History will teach us. . . .” What words does the author use to tell us what we will be taught? Now put those thoughts into your own words – what did he mean?
2. Federalist Paper #10 states “that the CAUSES of faction cannot be removed, and that relief is only to be sought in the means of controlling its EFFECTS.” What are the “Causes” of factions in your opinion? What “effects” is the author referring to and how are they to be remedied?
3. Federalist Paper #51 states, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” What does this statement imply when it comes to creating a government? What words does the author use to answer this question? Now put those thoughts into your own words – what did he mean? Do you agree with his statement? Why or why not?
4. Federalist Paper #84 states that a bill of rights in the Constitution is not necessary. What arguments does the author make to back up this statement? Do you agree with this position? Why or why not?
5. Select two (2) U.S. Constitution amendments from the Bill of Rights. Then, in your own words, write a response on what they mean to you.
6. How did the Louisiana Purchase change the United States (provide several ways). How did it change the world? (note: you can cite the article from the Instructor insights – but make sure to explain in your own words)
