• Americans often imagine that their political

  unheralded yet, many of them might be traced
  back to the heritage of England at the time the
  colonies were first formed, and over the course
  of the colonial period as English political
  institutions evolved.

• HIS 303 Week 1 DQ 2 The Constitutional Convention
  of 1787

• HIS 303 Week 2 DQ 1 Powers of the Federal
  Government

• 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).

• Powers of the Federal Government. Many Americans
  today believe the federal government has acquired
  too much power, size, and influence in the
  nations domestic affairs. Throughout U.S.
  history, a tension has existed regarding what
  powers the federal government can assume and what
  powers should be left to the states.

• HIS 303 Week 2 DQ 2 A Symbolic Figurehead

• HIS 303 Week 2 Early Constitutional Controversies

• DQ 2 A 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 1788, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison,
  who had both played active roles at the
  Constitutional Convention, worked together to
  write The Federalist Papers, a series of articles
  originally published in New York newspapers to
  convince readers to back the ratification of the
  Constitution.

• HIS 303 Week 3 DQ 1 The Constitution and
  Reconstruction

• HIS 303 Week 3 DQ 2 Populists and Progressives

• 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.

• Populists and Progressives. According to much
  populist rhetoric since the 1980s, the federal
  government is too active in domestic affairs,
  particularly the economy. Yet, a century earlier,
  the Populists and Progressives a agitated to have
  the federal government intervene more actively in
  domestic affairs.

• HIS 303 Week 3 Supreme Court Decision

• HIS 303 Week 4 DQ 1 The New Deal

• Supreme Court 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

• The New Deal. Franklin Roosevelts New Deal
  greatly expanded the federal governments role in
  the countrys domestic and economic affairs,
  which led to a long-running constitutional crisis
  in the 1930s that remains controversial to this
  day. Although the Supreme Court threw out several
  New Deal programs.

• HIS 303 Week 4 DQ 2 The Bill of Rights

• HIS 303 Week 5 DQ 1 Conservative Constitutionalism

• 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

• Historians sometimes speak of the Reagan
  Revolution that occurred after Ronald Reagan
  became president in 1981. This revolution
  represented a conservative backlash against the
  liberalism of the first half of the twentieth
  century, and arguably continues to set the tone
  of political debate in the country today.

• HIS 303 Week 5 DQ 2 Expansion of Executive Power

• HIS 303 Week 5 Final Paper

• Classical republican philosophy warned against
  the expansion of executive power, and throughout
  U.S. history, critics have assailed
  presidentsfrom Washington, to Jackson, to
  Lincoln, and beyondfor allegedly abusing their
  power in tyrannical ways.

• 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.
