In the late eighteenth century, when America firmly established the Constitution of 1792, their government was just fundamentally the beginning among the other nations of the world. There were dilemmas that the government had to counter with especially the new foreign policy issues. While some pursued what the first president left as guidelines, and others disregarded the warning, both affected the evolution of American foreign policy in the late eighteenth century through the initiation of the nineteenth century. As the first president in the America, George Washington left after his second term of presidency and left a guideline, which may be appeared as a warning to others, to the nation before retiring back to Mount Vernon. He emphasized heavily on the importance of unity between the states, the significance of the Constitution, the Checks and Balances System, and amendments.
That parents stress to children the importance of education all their school lives, but they continue to give money things that are less important, instead they should put money towards the teachers who wants to help make a difference in every child's life. Barber believes that parents should actually display their actions that they care and value their education. He explains who are to blame for the lack of quality education in America. The generations before the young and the government have a partial blame in why the school system is failing. Barber's argument is more superior, because he takes the sociopolitical context of education in to account, where as Henry does not.
In post revolution America, the government decided a facelift was in order for the politics, economy and of course society of the new nation. Although the economy stayed similar- albeit under a new name- both the political and societal changes happened daily from the smallest acts of progression to the leaps and bounds of change. After the initial detachment with Great Britain the American people wanted a superior and unique government that didn’t resemble that of their former mother country at all. This ended up not being the case but people such as Alexander Hamilton expressed his distrust “Ambition must be made to counteract ambition”. As a federalist Hamilton wanted a system of checks and balances to keep the government honest and modest.
The people who believed in a public education opposed the democratic idea. The Second Great Awakening reinforced the idea of equality for everyone, but the belief of Nativism held the people back from believing in the Second Great Awakening. Samuel Morse stated “no foreign who come into the country after law is passed shall ever be allowed the right of suffrage.” He is opposing the reform to give foreigners more rights. Morse’s strong ant foreignism was a direct opposition to the democratic ideal of equality. The education reform did seek to expand democratic ideal but not up to its full potential.
The main motive that pushed the Europeans to migrate to America was the search of a better life, one free of troublesome, one with religious freedom and one that they can succeed in. http://bookbuilder.cast.org/view_print.php?book=6522). History texts places a huge responsibility on Religion being the biggest motive for the Europeans moving to America being that in Europe there was a single state of religion that had to be practiced by all. Although, religious freedom was key to the Puritans, Quakers, Catholics, and Baptists that migrated to America, it was by no means the sole factor as seemingly suggested in many textbooks. Settlers continued to come to the America colonies, Scotch-Irish and Swiss settlers came, too, in search of a better life, wanting to have land of their own and enough food to fill their hungry stomachs.
The rise of political parties as the fundamental organizing unit of the Second Party System represented a sharp break from the values that had shaped Republican and Federalist political competition. Leaders in the earlier system remained deeply suspicious that parties could corrupt and destroy the young republic. At the heart of the new legitimacy of parties, and their forthright celebration of democracy, was the dramatic expansion of voting rights for white men. Immediately after the Revolution most states retained some property requirements that prevented poor people from voting. Following republican logic, citizens were believed to need an economic stake in society in order to be trusted to vote wisely.
The whole point of America becoming its own sovereign country was Britain’s overbearing control on the colonies. Many early Americans had concerns and feared a government in which, by design, could become too strong. Consequentially, the Democratic – Republican party (later known to historians simply as the Republican Party) was formed with ideas of smaller government and thusly, less control. A semblance of the rivalry between the parties in the United States could be seen in the French Revolution. The Republicans supported the popular forces in the French Revolt and wanted America to assist.
Nichole Anderson English September 24, 2012 Martin Luther King Jr., dream, in my opinion has not become reality today because of discrimination, education and equal opportunities for blacks and whites. If you pick up any job application, it will ask for race. No issue has dramatically shaped the social and political landscape than the issue of race. Look at employment and education statistic. It should not matter if the school is public or private, children should all have equal opportunity for a great education, regardless of how much money their parents have.
Kelley Hogan History 201 US September 20, 2011 Importance of the new Constitution on Early America America, at the beginning, needed to establish a strong central government; therefore they wrote the first Constitution, called the Articles of Confederation. But as in many first tries it was unsuccessful in establishing a strong government, as division caused many faults in the political and social spectrum. Many faults and strengths of the Articles of Confederation played into the role of the new Constitution. The importance of this first Constitution in relating to the new Constitution is realizing the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, the strengths of the New Constitution and the Federalists versus Anti-Federalists debate. The first factor to play into the new Constitution was the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.
Supporters believed that under the Articles of Confederation the government did not hold enough power. The leading figure in this party was Alexander Hamilton who had served as Secretary of Treasury for George Washington’s first term as president. Hamilton proposed the state debts that had come from the revolutionary war, which had created a national debt for the U.S. Hamilton answered this with the idea of the first bank of the United States. The main goal of the idea Hamilton had proposed, of state debts was to avoid unnecessary and possible destructive competition between state and federal governments. Which also allowed the federal government the opportunity for revenue.
