Welcome to 2010!

As the new year is in motion, we will be focusing on the history of the development of the United States as a country post American Revolution. This unit on government will be three weeks long and will culminate with a test. We will learn and analyze the following items:

a) weak points of the Articles of Confederation,

b) formation of the US Constitution and steps towards adoption,

c) Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists,

d) checks and balances concerning the three branches of government,

e) how a bill becomes a law, (I am just a bill)

f) the Federal budget, (budget hero)

g) The Bill of Rights and other Amendments.

This is just a small list of information that we will be covering in class over the next three weeks.
