The Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution are two very different documents set out to achieve a somewhat similar goal. The goal of the Article of Confederation is to create a loose union. It ended up that the state held most of the power. The U.S. Constitution was designed in an effort to repair the problems caused by the Articles of Confederation and the problems that still remain unaddressed.

Chapter 16: The Federal Courts I. The Nature of the Judicial System (504-507) A. Introduction The judicial system in the United States is an adversarial one in which the courts provide an arena for two parties to bring their conflict before an impartial arbiter. Most cases never reach trial because they are settled by agreements reached out of court. In a criminal law case, an individual is charged by the government with violating a specific law. Civil law involves disputes between two parties and defines relationships between them. B. Participants in the Judicial System

Chapter 4 Outline How did the basic interpretation of the Bill of Rights change from the cases Barron v. Baltimore (1833) to Gitlow v. New York (1925)? Barron v. Baltimore- the 1833 Supreme Court decision holding that the bill of rights restrained only the national government, not the states and cities. Gitlow v. New York- Incorporated 1st Amendment right of Free Speech to the states, using the 14th Amendment. This case started the incorporation doctrine, the legal concept under which the SC has nationalized the bill of rights by making most of its provisions applicable to the states through the 14th Amendment. Explain the importance of the 14th Amendment to the legal guarantees of the freedoms in the Bill of Rights.

APUSH

George Grenville was the British Prime Minister from 1763-1765. After the extremely costly Seven Years' War, he ordered the Navy to enforce the unpopular Navigation Laws. Then, in 1764, Grenville got Parliament to pass the Sugar Act, which increased duties on sugar imported from the West Indies. Also, in 1765, he brought the Quartering Act into play. This had forced colonists to provide food and shelter for the British soldiers. Many colonists, though, believed them only there for the purpose of keeping them in line. This, of course, just put more fuel on the fire of wanting and needing independence.
