Roman Caposino September 3rd-9th, 2013 Chapter II Questions AP Government/Politics At the time of the Revolution, most colonists believed that English politicians tended to be corrupt, and therefore the English constitution by which these politicians governed was not an adequate guarantee of the liberty of the citizens. Colonists believed that their rights and liberties were supplied by God, and included life, liberty, and property. To the colonists, the revolution was a war of political liberties rather than economic issue. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation: The government could not levy taxes or regulate commerce. Each state retained its sovereignty and independence.

Tindall Ch7 Outline Shaping a Federal Union The Confederation Congress within the confederation had very little power to do anything. Was still able to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783 and created three departments, Foreign Affairs, Finance, and War. Robert Morris, superintendent of Finance created the Bank of North America (1781). Did not really work because of fear of central authority, and Congress was always lacking money. Land in the west all went under the ownership of Congress, and they set rules for how each territory could become a state. The Land ordinance of 1785 planned how land would be distributed and sold. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 put new requirements on achieving statehood.

Gun politics in the United States

?We should not blame a gun itself for any crime or any acts of violence, any more than we can blame a pen for misspelling a word.? Proven by this statement belonging to Robert Bennett but even more notably by the malevolence of the world?s past, time after time it has been proven that guns do not kill people; in fact it is the people themselves that do. Remaining stationary and innocuous until a force and a finger consciously pulls the trigger, a gun is and will always remain an inanimate object that only becomes dangerous when a deranged or wicked mind has willed it do so.

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.
