In this Unit, we will focus on the new ideas about government and how the Founding Fathers tried to create a framework for a new government by the people. We will examine the successes and failures of the government, starting with the Articles of Confederation and leading us into the Constitution as we know it today.

 

HW assignment ONE:

 

This video was made by one of my colleges which explains how the first Constitution of the United States was an attempt to bring about the new government, but they made some rather big mistakes.  Please watch the video and fill in the Guided notes while watching.  Do not forget to answer the questions in the margin.
