Reading Assignment: Week of 1/26

For next time (2/2), read Chapter 2 of the text, the Constitution. Try to answer these questions as you read:

What were the Articles of Confederation?
What's a confederacy?
Who was Thomas Paine?
Who was Daniel Shays?
What was the Great Compromise? (What was created as a result of the G. C.?)
What is federalism?
What are checks and balances? (You should know a few examples--see the figure on page 49, 9th ed.)
