  of 1787
• History - General History
• 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

• 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

• 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 many ways, the president serves as
  a symbolic figurehead of both

  Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, who had
  both played active roles at the Constitutional
  Convention, worked together to write The

• 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

  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

  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, others survived and laid the
  foundation for later developments over the next
  three decades.

  of Rights is probably the most famous section of
  the Constitution, but is often imperfectly
  understood. For instance, the Bill of Rights

  federal government, and did not protect citizens
  from the actions of state governments (as
