The new nation will find itself in difficult and trying times - a bold new ideal for government with 13 squabbling states, none of which want to cooperate to become a single nation. We wil examine the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, the Halifax Resolves, and the North Carolina Constitution of 1776.

Week of 7 February 2011
Big Week here. Not only is Friday an Early Release day and Winterfest Assembly Friday and Dance Saturday, we are moving from the events leading to the American Revolution to the results of the Revolution: a new experiment in government. We will be testing Tuesday on Unit 1B: Origins of American Government. Unit 2A covers from the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation to the United States Constitution. By understanding the mindset of the founding fathers makes the rest of the course easier. It will allow us to view the role of government from their point of view.
