JA 8 A Civics: Sep 8-Sep 11


This week we will begin our study of the beginnings of American government under the Articles of Confederation. We will look at why the Articles failed to succeed and we will then begin to investigate the creation of the Constitution. We will compare and contrast the two documents and discuss which was better for the country.
We will examine why the Articles created such a limited national government and discuss the need for revising them. We will also discuss the struggle between the federalists and anti-federalists over the ratification of the Constitution.
