Tonight's HW 12/4/08

Hello, APUSHers:

Here's tonight's HW:

READ the DOCUMENTS on pp. 116-120 of the Review Book.
Highlight, and ANNOTATE the documents. Remember, read the historical context, or the background information behind each document.

Then, based on what you've learned from the docs, and what you know about Social Studies, answer questions 1 and 2 (only) on p. 120.

Thanks!

MY HW:

1. Alexander Hamilton's point of view of the Constitution differ's from Thomas Jefferson's point of view in this way. Hamilton is stating in the document that the states are totally united and have it all together. They are so together that they could even start exanding the countries horizon's. While Thomas Jefferson is saying that the states are becoming 13 indvidual nations and that we need a stronger central government. So one point of view says that we are perfect the way we are while the other is saying we still need to grow.

2. The connection that Benjamin Banneker is making between Jefferson's proffessed beliefs during the American Revolution and the continued existence of slavery is very obvious. He compares the colonies of the Revolution as the slaves and England as the slave-holders. Why would you have or treat slaves this way if you see how bad it was to be pushed and bossed around?

Here is my homework:

1. Alexander Hamilton's view of the Constitution is different that Thomas Jefferson's point of view because Hamilton believes that the colonies are as one and could start expanding if they wanted to. On the other hand, Thomas Jefferson believes that the states are becoming there own country, and he says that we need a stronger central government.

2. The connection that Benjamin Banneker is making with Jefferson's proffessed beliefs during the American Revolution is that he thinks that slavery is a good thing and he compares the colonies of the revolution as the slaves and england as the slave owner.
