1. The Constitution Principle reflected in the wording "We the People" is popular sovereignty. To me, popular sovereignty means that the government is based upon the people's choice.
2. Back in 1787 women, and African Americans were not considered in the majority of American citizens. Through amendments being passed, African American males/females, and women have been accepted in this term, "We the People..."
3. He argued that the convention had exceeded its power by abandoning the Articles of Confederation. He felt that the statement "We the People..." felt like who gave them the right to say what the people think. It should have been, ""We the States..."
4. colonies began to act collectively through the First Continental Congress in 1774 -----> Second Continental Congress convened in 1775 -----> Declaration of Independence the next year gave birth -----> Continental Congress carried out the functions of national government through 1781 -----> newly independent states adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first Constitution of the United States. -----> framers of the 1787 Constitution created these two new branches of government because the Confederation Congress could not effectively handle all the business of the United States -----> During the New Deal, Congress created a host of administrative agencies, usually as part of the executive branch, to implement a wide array of new laws. These agencies began making their own rules and regulations, known as administrative law. If such agencies go too far in their rule making, they can violate the Constitution’s delegation of legislative power to Congress.
5. The Framers created a bicameral legislature because it slowed down the legislative process. This was considered good, for them, because they didn't want too much power from the government. Bicameral legislature had "different formulas" for each house to represent.
6. The House of Representatives is unique because it's the only part from the new government, under the Constitution, that the people chose.
7. The Seventeenth Amendment provided direct election of senators. This meant the state legislatours no longer picked but the people did.
8. Because the H.O.R. is closer to the people than the Senate.
9. enumerated powers the powers of the national government specifically listed in the Constitution
implied powers those powers not specifically listed in the Constitution that can be inferred from the enumerated powers
inherent powers those powers that belong to the government of a sovereign state
10. Congress was unable to regulate commerce and the states did what they can to restrict the flow of commerce.
11. The founders gave Congress exclusive power to coin money because they didn't want to give them too much power or control.
12. Colonists fear a standing army because it contained career soldiers. This meant they were loyal to the king and would probably shoot rowdy colonists than neighbors in local militias.
13. It was necessary to give Congress the power to raise and maintain a professional army because with the A.O.C. only states could raise armies and they were responsible for getting soldiers for the Continental Army.
14. This is known as the elastic clause because it lets Congress be flexible by letting it carry out the enumerated powers.
15. The difference between a loose (broad) construction and a strict construction of the Constitution is that the loose construction was too friendly and didn't establish a stable government. An issue still at hand was the power given to the government and how people tried to avoid giving too much of it.
16. According to Hamilton in Federalist #70, the conditions of a good government is the "energy in the executive".
17. Americans were highly ambivalent about the use of executive power because they had just got rid of a king who had the same likeness of executive power.
18. The President's Cabinet serve the President and are titled Secretary. They are appointed officers of the executive branch of the federal government .
19. The essence of the judicial power is to interpret laws.
20. Hamilton said it was the "least dangerous" because it had no power from the legislature's power of the purse nor the executive. It just judged.
21. Congress would pass a proposed amendment by a 2/3rds vote of the members present or 2/3rds of the state must petition Congress to call a constitutional convention.
22. When amending the A.O.C. they ended up totally scraping it and coming up with a new one.

_ Everyone else can nmae SImpsons characters
MAIN IDEAS:
They talked about how they made laws to make sure people would not criticise the government. They talked about how you would need to change Iraq's culture not just add voting booths to make it a democracy. Basically they trried to restrict civil rights because people got out of hand.
Adams hadn't declared war on France and he raised a bunch of taxes. He built a good navy but they couldn't go out to war. Jefferson had robbed a widow and her children of a trust fund and had numerous children with the slave women. He was considered ungodly or an atheist.
It was because it was the "Revolution of 1800". This means there was a peaceful transaction of power and the Federalist stepped down from office without a fight. Republicans became more of the "people's party" compared to Federalists.
No, because that power wasn't really exercised and they were a bunch of lame-ducks.
It was not revolutionary in the sense that there was a great big conflict but it restored the original spirit of Revolution.
Jefferson got rid of the excise tax and his new secretary of the treasury reduced national debt but also balanced the budget. Jefferson showed that a change of regime neednot be catastrophic for the exciting group.
Marshall was committed to strengthening the power of the federal government. He said that the Judiciary Act was unconstitutional and he suggested that the Supreme Court could determine the constitutionality of laws.
He sent the infant navy to the shores of Tripoli where they fought for four years and they succeeded in extorting a peace treaty from Tripoli in 1805 for $60,000.
It would not be the biggest bargain in history. The issue of whether or not purchasing foreign land is constitutionally wouldn't have been brought up. WE wouldn't have it as a state today and it still might be French territory.
We had explorers William Clark and Meriwether Lewis go and explore the land. They saw buffalo, elk, deer, antelope, and the landscape went all the way to Oregon and the Pacific before returning.
As a result, American trade sank as England and France, unable to hurt each other (England owned the sea thanks to the Battle of Trafalgar while France owned the land thanks to the Battle of Austerlitz), resorted to indirect blows.
Farmers did because they were left with piles of their products unable to export. The shipping docks and ships were rotting. The commerce of New England opposed it too.
He announced that French commercial restrictions had been lifted, and Madison, desperate for recognition of the law, declared France available for American trade. Of course, Napoleon lied, and never really lifted restrictions, but meanwhile, America had been duped into entering European affairs against Great Britain.
They said the only way to get rid of the Indians was to wipe out Canada since the British helped the Indians.
New England, which was still making lots of money, damned the war for a free sea, and Federalists opposed the war because (1) they were more inclined toward Britain anyway and (2) if Canada was conquered, it would add more agrarian land and increase Republican supporters.
