Mr. Pecunia's Last Minute Regents Review Sheet for United States History The Critical Period: * Government under the Articles of Confederation * Weak Central Government; strong states * Shay's rebellion leads to calls for a stronger national government * Attempt to find a government strong enough to govern; not so strong as to threaten individual liberties The Constitution: * Constitution emerges as a "bundle of compromises" * Constitution creates powerful government, but divides power between states and national government (federalism), among the three branches of the national government (Separation of powers), and allows the different branches to check each other (checks and balances)

Causes of the French Revolution
War

Conditions Present Before a Revolution Takes Place People from all social classes are discontented. French society was divided into three groups: the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate) and everyone else (Third Estate). The Third Estate accounted for a majority of the French population, poor harvest, in conjunction with heavy taxes, led to poverty, prostitution, unhealthy living conditions and abandonment of children. Although the clergy and nobility were exempt from taxes, war debts caused new taxation on the First and Second Estate. This created much hostility between the people and the government. People feel restless & held down by unacceptable restrictions in society, religion, & the economy or gov?t

2.07 Assessment Our national anthem comes from the lyrics come from "Defence of?Fort McHenry", a poem written in 1814 by a 35-year-old Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. IT was finally adopted by the government as our national anthem on March 3, 1931. Next the star spangled banner flag was created because they wanted a flag big enough that the British could see from miles and miles away! So they got Mary Pickergills and her daughter to create the massive flag which they used over 400 yards of wool. 15 stars were cut, 8 red and 7 white stripes were cut as well and by that August the flag was done. It was measured at 30 by 42 feet costing them $ 405.90.
