The U.S. Constitution Key issues and their resolutions How did the delegates to the Constitutional Convention balance competing interests?

4 Standard VUS.5d The student will demonstrate knowledge of the issues involved in the creation and ratification of the Constitution of the United States and how the principles of limited government, consent of the governed, and the social contract are embodied in it by d) assessing the arguments of Federalists and Anti Federalists during the ratification debates and their relevance to political debate today. Elements of Federalist and Anti Federalist thought are reflected in contemporary political debate on issues such as the size and role of government, federalism, and the protection of individual rights. What were the major arguments for and against the Constitution of 1787 in the leading Federalist and Anti Federalist writings and in the ratification debates? Who were the leading Federalists and Anti Federalists in the pivotal ratification debate in Virginia? Federalists v. Anti Federalists advocated the importance of a strong government, especially to promote economic and public. Today, those who see a primary role for the federal in solving national are heirs to this tradition.

Important legal precedents established by the Marshall Court strengthened the role of the United States Supreme Court as an equal branch of the national government. How did Chief Justice John Marshall, a Virginian, contribute to the growth of the United States Supreme Court s importance in relation to the other branches of the national government? The Marshall Court The doctrine of judicial set forth in Marbury v., the doctrine of implied set forth in McCulloch v., and a broadly national view of economic set forth in Gibbons v. Ogden are the foundation blocks of the Court s authority to mediate between branches of, levels of government, and competing business.

Democratic Republicans Controversy over the Federalists for the Bank of the United, the Jay, and the undeclared war on contributed to the emergence of an organized opposition, the Democratic Republicans, led by Thomas and James. The presidential election of, won by Thomas Jefferson, was the first American election in which power was peacefully from one political party to another.
