HIS 303 Week 1 DQ 2 The Constitutional Convention
of 1787 For more course
tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com 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) themselves, some, like
Benjamin Franklin, thought it was imperfect and a
few, like George Mason, refused to sign it.
Identify the events and developments which led to
the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and explain
the opposition to the new Constitution.

HIS 303 Week 2 DQ 1 Powers of the Federal
Government For more course tutorials visit
www.tutorialrank.com 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. Review the text of the
Constitution for evidence about the relationship
the document establishes between national and
state governments. Then review the history of the
United States through the Civil War for evidence
of how that relationship worked in progress, and
changed over time.

HIS 303 Week 2 Early Constitutional
Controversies For more course tutorials
visit www.tutorialrank.com Early
Constitutional Controversies. 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. Constitutional
scholars often refer to these papers to gain an
appreciation of the original intention of the
Framers, how those men expected the federal
government to operate under the Constitution, and
the powers they sought to grant or deny the
federal government. By the early 1790s, however,
Hamilton and Madison had divided over basic
constitutional questions, such as whether or not
the federal government could charter a national
bank. The American electorate, which had ratified
the Constitution, had split on the issue as well,
dividing into rival Federalist and Republican
parties.

HIS 303 Week 3 DQ 1 The Constitution and
Reconstruction For more course tutorials visit
www.tutorialrank.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 Amendments, along with the history of
the period from 1865 to 1933. What measures did
the federal government implement during
Reconstruction to aid freed people?

www.tutorialrank.com 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. Explain why many Americans during this
period from 1880 to 1930 favored a more activist
federal government

www.tutorialrank.com 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, especially when it
seems to controvert the popular will as expressed
through the legislature. For this assignment,
review the powers the Constitution grants to the
Supreme Court in Article III.

HIS 303 Week 5 DQ 1 Conservative
Constitutionalism For more
course tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com
Conservative Constitutionalism. 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. Identify the key ideological
components of the conservative constitutionalism
associated with the Reagan Era and the Rehnquist
Court. In practice, how did conservative
constitutionalism affect American politics and
the American government? Has the influence of
conservative constitutionalism increased or
declined in the decades since Reagan left office?

HIS 303 Week 5 DQ 2 Expansion of Executive Power
For more course tutorials visit
www.tutorialrank.com Expansion of Executive
Power. 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. These fears arguably
peaked during the Cold War, when foreign policy,
a matter often delegated to the executive,
expanded exponentially in importance. By the
1970s, some Americans feared that their country
was being run by, in the words of historian
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., an imperial presidency
(i.e., a presidency which held itself above the
rule of law). Review the Constitutions
provisions regarding executive powers,
particularly with regard to foreign affairs,
along with the checks which the Constitution
places on those powers.

HIS 303 Week 5 Final Paper For more course
tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com 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. Develop an
argument about how, in your informed opinion, the
constitutional issue should be interpreted.
Justify your position with reference to the
Constitution itself, the history of the issue
under consideration, and the stance adopted on
the issue by significant
