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.

November 2013 Debate ? PRO Introduction: In the wake of Edward Snowden?s leak and subsequent fleeing of the US, the NSA has come under increased scrutiny by the American public. This is unfortunate, considering the impressive job that the NSA has been doing over the last decade. After extensive research, I agree with the resolution that follows. Resolved: The benefits of domestic surveillance by the NSA outweigh the harms. Contention 1: The NSA?s surveillance programs have kept Americans safe for years. Increased focus on domestic intelligence is a necessary response to the threat posed by international terrorism.

1. How did Jefferson's philosophy shape policy toward public expenditures, the judiciary, and Louisiana? Jefferson served for more than twenty years as the president of the American Philosophical Society. Jefferson brought with set of ideas about the need and importance for tightly controlled central government, payment of the national debt, and downsizing the American military. When offered the chance to buy Louisiana, an action not specified in the Constitution, Jefferson eagerly jumped at the chance to rid the New World of France. He justified the purchase by stating the new land doubled the land available for the union. His sponsorship of the Lewis and Clark expedition exemplified his interest in science and his hope for practical results from science.

Chapter 7 Focus Questions Which points in Hamilton?s economic program were most controversial and why? Hamilton?s first reports to the public credit provoke immediate controversy. The problem with plan is that the least deserving of the reward would gain the most. The original owners of three-fifths of the debt certificates issued by the Continental Congress were Revolutionary patriots, most of whom sold their certificates for a fraction of its worth. Wealthy speculators purchased these certificates and stood to reap huge gains at the expense of the original owners. Hamilton?s report on a national bank was also controversial. Hamilton?s critics feared it was a dangerous scheme that would give a small, elite group special power to influence the government.
