All citizens must practice a religion, but it may be a religion of their choosing.

Congress can establish a state religion.

Religious groups cannot be taxed or treated differently from other types of groups.

Establish post offices, but it could not levy taxes.

Declare war, but it could not make treaties.

Force everyone to abide by the law, but it could not establish a court system.

Levy taxes, but it could not establish an executive branch.

The Fourteenth Amendment did away with the Three-Fifths Compromise by stating that:

The Founders were responding to Anti-Federalists' fears of overly powerful state governments.

Which of the following lists the steps required to add the Bill of Rights to the Constitution in the correct sequence?

Madison introduced it, Congress approved it, and the states ratified it.

Madison introduced it, the House modified it, and Congress enforced it.

Madison introduced it, the states approved it, and the Senate modified it.

Madison introduced it, the states ratified it, and Congress enforced it.

The Founders created a federal system of government because they:

Wanted individuals to have the right to a fair and speedy trial.

Analyze ways in which colonial governments were limited and ways in which they were representative. Discuss why the colonists valued these characteristics.

Colonial governments were limited by having written constitutions, or charters, by which they had to abide.

They were representative in that certain people, typically property-owning white men, had the right to vote.

Colonists valued limited government because of their experiences with the British monarchy.

They valued representative government because they wanted to have an impact on how they were governed.

How were the respective arguments of the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists regarding ratification of the Constitution similar? How were they different?

Both groups knew the government was too weak under the Articles of Confederation and realized that government could not maintain the security that the nation needed.

The Anti-Federalists were concerned that the Constitution did not have a Bill of Rights, which the Federalists felt was unnecessary because the Constitution did not give the national government the power to violate individual rights.

The Anti-Federalists believed the Constitutional Convention was extralegal because it was only supposed to modify the Articles of Confederation, they thought it took too much power away from the states.

The Federalists felt that a strong national government was necessary in order to protect the nation and solve internal problems.
