Use the criteria below to determine the grade. Post the grade atop today’s notes and sign your name legibly next to the grade. If a notebook does not contain today’s notes, affix the grade and your signature atop the first blank page after the most recent notes. Rotate notebooks. If the second reader of a notebook agrees with the first reader’s determination, the second reader should sign below the first reader’s signature. If however, the second reader does not agree with the grade already posted, the two readers will need to revisit the notes jointly until they can agree on a grade. When instructed to do so, return the notebooks to their owners. Additionally, fill out the grading rubric. This will be turned in at the end of the notebook check.

14. Essay Prompts 1. Compare and contrast the British, French, and Spanish imperial goals in North America between 1580 and 1763. 2. “Although the thirteen American colonies were founded at different times by people with different motives and with different forms of colonial charters and political organization, by the time of the Revolution the thirteen colonies had become remarkably similar.” Assess the validity of this statement. 3. Evaluate the relative importance of domestic and foreign affairs in shaping American politics in the 1790’s. Account for the development of nascent political parties in Washington’s administrations, and show the alignments that flowed from this factionalization.

15. Example (*See Handout) Prompt: “The United States displayed all the typical characteristics of a new nation during the early republic, 1789-1823.” Assess the validity of this view. T. Looking upon examples of “New Nations” or governments the United States was particularly unique in its first early years. P1 Compared to the French Revolution, also a democratic revolution, the United States displayed a larger degree of stability and control. Reign of Terror with the French compared to Shay’s Rebellion. The mass murder of French citizens was much more dramatic than a few riots. The democratic revolution of France was eventually disregarded for the Napoleonic dictatorship, while the U.S. merely reformed the Articles of Confederation to form a still democratic federation. The U.S. had an easier time recovering economically, due to its t land resources and the continued trade with Britain after the War. P2 After new nations are formed and old governments overthrown, it is quite common for a military dictatorship to ensure. However the U.S. did not succumb to this despite pressured to do so. Washington’s address of the soldiers, wanting their pay where he “puts on spectacles,” shows the countries leaders willing to sacrifice personal power for the country. The system of checks and balances that the framers of the Constitution created was to keep the executive branch in line, and maintain an equal distribution of power, so no president could start a military takeover. The name of the chief of the executive branch to be Mr. President instead of your “highness” or “lord” reflects effort on the part of the framers of the Constitution to keep the executive branch at level with the other two branches, and not re-create a kingship. P3 In many revolutions the elites are overthrown by the lower classes, but in the American Revolution the elites were the ones rebelling, therefore they rebelled for ideologies rather than economic status. The constitution and the Declaration of Independence stated the desire for more ideology things such as “the pursuit of happiness.” In contrast to the materialistic Communist Revolution of “Land and Bread.” In the Communist Revolution the elites were merely replaced, but in the American Revolution the elites were bent on reform, because they limited the revolution.

16.
