1 Honors American Foundations Mr. Huber Lap 2: From Ideas to Independence, the American Revolution Lap 2 Essential Question: Were the early Americans justified in their declaration of independence from the British, their colonial fathers? Late Assignments from Lap 1 Are all due by Day 6 of this Lap. Failure to turn in late or missing work by Day 6 of this Lap will result in a zero for that particular assignment no exceptions. Overview Much more than a revolt against British taxes and trade regulations, the American Revolution was the first modern revolution. It marked the first time in history that a people fought for their independence in the name of certain universal principles such as rule of law, constitutional rights, and popular sovereignty. The Causes of the Revolution The roots of the American Revolution can be traced to the year 1763 when British leaders began to tighten imperial reins. Britain s land policy prohibiting settlement in the West irritated colonists as did the arrival of British troops. The most serious problem was the need for money to support the empire. Attempts through the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Acts to raise money rather than control trade met with growing resistance in the colonies. Tensions increased further after Parliament passed the Coercive Acts and the First Continental Congress took the first steps toward independence from Britain. Before the colonies gained independence, they had to fight a long and bitter war. Rationale The United States is presently the greatest success story when it comes to democracy and independence. While still a young nation, this country has created a precedent that many other nations have followed and are modeling their government after today. We will examine how the United States came to be and operated under their first real government, the Articles of Confederation. Learning Goals 1. Apply the various political, social, and economic ideologies to the origin of the Revolution in the colonies. 2. Discuss how the decision to declare independence was reached. 3. Analyze the arguments over the Articles of Confederation.
2 Summative Assessment Lap 2 Essential Question: Were the early Americans justified in their declaration of independence from their colonial fathers? Lap 2 s summative assessment will follow the same format as Lap 1 s did. You will have a variety of question types ranging from multiple choice, matching, true/false, yes or no, and reading comprehension. Your test will be over all notes taken in class, topics discussed, readings, homework assignments, and quizzes. Everything is up for assessment. Your test will be around 50 questions, there may be more question but probably less. & in the Testing Center on 2/9 2/11 C D E Days If you test with Mrs. Stokes please let me know. Lap 2 Project Was there a real justification to leave the crown? Was the Declaration of Independence warranted? Write a 600 to 700 word essay on the essential question, Were the early Americans justified in their declaration of independence from the British, their colonial fathers? You will not be graded on your decision, rather the support and defense of your choice. Your paper must follow these specific guidelines: Your assignment is considered a summative and is also worth 100 points the same as a Lap test words; that is about 3 4 pages double spaced Must follow the writing guidelines (heading, font, font size, etc.) Proper grammar is essential Proper source citation is a must as well in the body of the paper Introduction paragraph where you tell me specifically your choice. Three body paragraphs each with their own reason why with supporting details in each paragraph. Conclusion paragraph where you wrap everything up. This should be tied in with the EQ. An MLA works cited page with a minimum of five sources. You can use your We the People text more than once, but you can only count it as one source even if you use it multiple times.

In addition to these state governments, Americans also considered creating a national government to manage relationships among the states and to unite the states in their relations with the rest of the world.
