HISTORY STUDENTS
Just wanted to give you a head's up for the big reading assignment:
1. Think about the claims Beard makes in the short reading I gave you. Did the framers let economic motivations guide them in the creation of the Constitution?
2. H.S. Commanger's reading asserts that the framers were not motivated by economic interests when they wrote the Constitution. What points does he offer to disprove Beard's thesis? Focus on those points in that reading.
3. The textbook reading is pretty easy. Focus on the big policies of the Washington administration. Also think about the contrast in the political and economic philosophies of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Pay attention to Jefferson's vision for America.
4. Finally, please review ALL of your notes from this unit. Remember, a Blast from the Past Quiz can come at any time in the unit.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
