“The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her... ..Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation,—in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of these United States. ….Firmly relying upon the final triumph of the Right and the True, we do this day affix our signatures to this declaration.” The purpose of this document from the Seneca Falls Convention was primarily to:

Demand expanded rights for women, including suffrage and property rights

Demand an Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution

“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people.’[Xth amendment.] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill, have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States, by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially enumerated…” -Thomas Jefferson on the Constitutionality of a National Bank, February 15, 1791 According to Jefferson in this quote, what does he fear about the creation of the National Bank?

...From these, and many other selections which might be made, it is apparent that the framers of the Constitution contemplated that instrument as a rule for the government of courts, as well as of the legislature. Why otherwise does [the Constitution] direct the judges to take an oath to support it? … It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that, in declaring what shall be the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself is first mentioned; and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall he made in pursuance of the Constitution, have that rank. Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument… -Marbury v Madison 1803 Which of the following resulted from the Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison?

established the power of judicial review

limited Presidential control of foreign policy

Yet the Convention preserved the centrist course of New England federalism. Indeed, as the most notable instance since the Second Continental Congress of men organizing to satisfy, direct, and control an aroused populace, it was a monument to the growth of electoral democracy. It was a victory for political management, for the 'system'. -James M. Banner, historian, A Shadow of Secession? The Hartford Convention, 1814 1988 The amendments proposed by the Hartford Convention were intended to...

limit the power of the federal government

strengthen Federalist country over the national government

Has Congress the power to incorporate a bank? . . . In discussing this question, the council for the State of Maryland have deemed it of some importance, in the construction of the Constitution, to consider that instrument not as emanating from the people but as the act of sovereign and independent states. The powers of the general government, it has been said, are delegated by the states, who alone are truly sovereign; and must be exercised in subordination to the states, who alone possess supreme dominion. It would be difficult to sustain this proposition. -Decision in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) How did the decision expressed in the opinion above impact the relationship between the federal governments and state government?

The Court upheld the rights of states to enact laws that were deemed “necessary and proper.”

“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers – and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce – and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution – and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.” -Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1840) Which of the following of de Tocqueville’s predecessors expressed priorities that would have best aligned with his conclusions about America?

John Winthrop in A Model of Christian Charity
