om The Constitutional Convention of 1787.
Americans today generally revere the Constitution
and appeal to it as an impeccable authority on
current events (even when the Americans in
question have never closely read the
Constitution). However, when the Constitution was
first presented to the American people, many of
them opposed it and the nation almost did not
ratify it. Even among the original framers of the
Constitution (Framers)

Americans today believe the federal government
has acquired too much power, size, and influence

powers the federal government can assume and what
powers should be left to the states.

Symbolic Figurehead. Americans tend to pay more
attention to the president than to any other
government official, blaming him when things go
wrong, even in areas over which the president has
little control, and crediting him with successes
which stem from the legislature instead of the
executive. In many ways, the president serves as
a symbolic figurehead of both the government and
the nation, with the consequence that the
executive often overshadows

Reconstruction For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com The Constitution and
Reconstruction. A common misconception about the
end of the Civil War is that, after ending
slavery, the federal government did nothing to
assist former slaves. In fact, the Constitution
itself was substantially altered to define the
rights of Americans and to allow the federal
government to protect those rights. Review the
contents of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and
Nineteenth

Decision. The judiciary is one of the three
branches involved in the checks and balances
associated with the U.S. government under the
Constitution. It is also the branch over which
the American people have the least direct
control, making it particularly controversial,
especially when it seems to controvert the
popular will as expressed through the
legislature. For this assignment,

Franklin Roosevelts New Deal greatly expanded
the federal governments role in the countrys
domestic and economic affairs, which led to a

for later developments over the next three
decades.

HIS 303 Week 4 DQ 2 The Bill of Rights For more
classes visit www.snaptutorial.com The Bill of
Rights. After the Preamble, The Bill of Rights is
probably the most famous section of the
Constitution, but is often imperfectly
understood. For instance, the Bill of Rights
initially served only to limit the actions of the
federal government, and did not protect citizens
from the actions of state governments (as
affirmed in the 1833 Supreme Court case of Barron
v. Baltimore). Moreover, many rights that
Americans take for grantedsuch as votingdo not
appear in the Bill of Rights, and many other
rights were not fully articulated or protected
until the mid-twentieth century.

today. Identify the key ideological components of

philosophy warned against the expansion of
executive power, and throughout U.S. history,

HIS 303 Week 5 Final Paper For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com Final Paper From the
time the Constitution was ratified, Americans
have disagreed over its meaning and the extent of
the powers it gave to different branches and
reserved to the states and the people. Since the
Constitution took effect, it has been amended
several times and, just as importantly,
interpretations of the Constitution have changed
over time. For this assignment, examine the
history of one constitutional issue in depth and
explain how, and why, understandings of, and
approaches to, the issue have changed over from
colonial times through the present.
