2 Social-Ideological causes of the American revolution17th & 18th Century Enlightenment philosophy John Locke- natural rights “life, liberty & property”…A social contract is formed between people & govt. Humans have Natural rights or unalienable rights Social contract -people agree to form a state and GRANT to their govt the powers to protect their natural rights Govt exists only with the consent of the governed
3 unalienable rights During the Age of Enlightenment the natural law theory challenged the divine right of Kings The definition of "unalienable rights," are rights that cannot be surrendered, sold or transferred to someone else –OR to government, some people refer to these as "natural" or "God-given" rights
4 John Locke Men being, as has been said, by Nature, all free, equal and independent, no one can be put out of this Estate, and subjected to the Political Power of another, without his own Consent. The only way whereby any one devests himself of his Natural Liberty, and puts on the bonds of Civil Society is by agreeing with other Men to joyn and unite into a Community, for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure Enjoyment of their Properties, When any number of Men have so consented to make one Community or Government, they are thereby presently incorporated, and make one Body Politick, wherein the Majority have a Right to act and conclude the rest. …which is the consent of the majority: …one Body, one Community, which the consent of every individual that united into it, agreed that it should; and so every one is bound by that consent …in Assemblies impowered to act by positive Laws where no nu

52 How does the Constitution Work?Allow for Change =The 'Elastic clause' granting Congress the power to pass all laws necessary and proper for carrying out the enumerated list of powers. I. Legislative II. Executive Branch III. The Judiciary
53 Article I Legislative BranchNo State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; coin Money; Bill of Attainder ex post facto Law, or grant titles of Nobility No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
54 Article II.

60 How does a president Veto a Bill?Veto = Latin for “I forbid” ten days to respond by returning legislation to Congress. Approved or vetoed pocket veto- when congress is not in session- president just lets it sit w/o action = bill expires
61 Impeachment 1-The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States- “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." 2- impeachment by the House of Representatives by a majority vote
62 Slavery Related issuesRepresentation based on population (House of Representatives) created the problem of how-or why should slaves be counted for representation in the House of Representatives. 3/5 compromise = 3/5 of slave population could be counted to determine how many delegates could represent each state in the House of Representatives
63 Impeachment continued3- Trial and conviction by the Senate -- The vice president presides over the Senate proceedings except the president, whose trial is presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Pres. Johnson & Pres. Clinton 1988 both found innocent by 1 vote

67 Bill of Rights The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The Second Amendment- A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. The Third Amendment prohibits the government from quartering troops in private homes, a major grievance during the American Revolution. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. The government may not conduct any searches without a warrant, and such warrants must be issued by a judge and based on probable cause.
68 Bill of Rights Cont: The Fifth Amendment provides that citizens not be subject to criminal prosecution and punishment without due process. Citizens may not be tried on the same set of facts twice, and are protected from self- incrimination (the right to remain silent). The amendment also establishes the power of eminent domain, ensuring that private property is not seized for public use without just compensation. The Sixth Amendment assures the right to a speedy trial by a jury of one's peers, to be informed of the crimes with which they are charged, and to confront the witnesses brought by the government. The amendment also provides the accused the right to compel testimony from witnesses, and to legal representation. The Seventh Amendment provides that civil cases also be tried by jury.
69 Bill of Rights Cont: The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments. The Ninth Amendment states that the list of rights enumerated in the Constitution is not exhaustive, and that the people retain all rights not enumerated. The Tenth Amendment assigns all powers not delegated to the United States, or prohibited to the states, to either the states or to the people.
70 writ of habeas corpus & the US ConstitutionThe habeas corpus concept was first expressed in the Magna Charta, No free man shall be seized, or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed, or exiled, or injured in any way, nor will we enter on him or send against him except by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land." This principle evolved to mean that no person should be deprived of freedom without Due Process of Law. In America which Amendment is called the Due Process Amendment?
71 habeas corpus Means produce the body in Latin In the US Constitution Habeas Corpus allows A prisoner can file a writ of habeas corpus with a court to make sure he was tried and imprisoned in a constitutionally correct manner. Our constitution has this safeguard that allows a prisoner to challenge his imprisonment via Habeas Corpus. A safe guard to determine whether a prisoner was imprisoned in a fair constitutional manner = with due process! If the prisoner argues successfully that the incarceration is in violation of a constitutional right, the court may order the prisoner's release. Article I sec # 9

73 Presidential Powers Pardon, Commute prison sentences Appt Fed Judges, Ambassadors Head of Armed Forces Emergency's-- calling into session one or both houses of Congress example: declare war
74 The system of checks and balancesThe American constitutional system includes a notion known as the Separation of Powers. Several branches of government are created and power is shared between them. At the same time, the powers of one branch can be challenged by another branch. This is what the system of checks and balances is all about. There are three branches in the United States government as established by the Constitution. First, the Legislative branch makes the law. Second, the Executive branch executes the law. Last, the Judicial branch interprets the law. Each branch has an effect on the other. The powers of one branch can be challenged by another branch.
75 Checks on the Executive = The PresidentLegislative Branch = Senate and OR House of Representatives & Checks on the Executive Impeachment power (House) Trial of impeachments (Senate) Selection of the President (House) and Vice President (Senate) in the case of no majority of electoral votes Senate approves departmental appointments Senate approves treaties and ambassadors
76 How Congress can over ride a Presidential veto?To overturn a presidential veto, both houses in Congress must vote to approve the bill by a two-thirds majority.
77 Checks on the Executive-what the legislative branch can do against the presidentApproval of replacement Vice President Power to declare war Power to enact taxes and allocate funds President must, from time-to-time, deliver a State of the Union address
78 Checks on the Legislature : contbecause it is bicameral, the Legislative branch has a degree of self-checking. Bills must be passed by both houses of Congress House must originate revenue bills Neither house may adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other house All journals are to be published
79 Presidential AssassinationThe 25th Amendment – The VP He or she will become President if the President cannot serve for whatever reason. The 25th also provides for a President who is temporarily disabled, such as if the President has a surgical procedure or if he or she become mentally unstable. Who is next in line after the VP? Speaker of the House of Representatives President Pro Tempore of the Senate Secretary of State Secretary of the Treasury Secretary of Defense

86 Checks on the JudiciarySenate approves federal judges Impeachment power (House) Trial of impeachments (Senate) Power to initiate constitutional amendments Power to set courts inferior to the Supreme Court Power to set jurisdiction of courts Power to alter the size of the Supreme Court
87 Judicial Review A court's authority to examine an executive or legislative act and to invalidate that act if it is contrary to constitutional principles. The Supreme Court Can outlaw/ strike down Acts & or laws passed by Congress
88 The Supremacy Clause states "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States …shall be the supreme law of the land." It goes on to say that, "judges in every state shall be bound thereby." This means that state laws may not violate the U.S. constitution and that all state courts must uphold the national law.
89 Article I The LegislatureRepresentation in the house of representative Representation In the Senate President’s role Role of VP Impeachment
90 1803 marbury v. madison The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, decides the landmark case of William Marbury v. James Madison, Secretary of State of the United States and confirms the legal principle of judicial review--the ability of the Supreme Court to limit Congressional power by declaring legislation unconstitutional--in the new nation.
91 Marbury becomes a PrecedentIn writing the decision, John Marshall argued that acts of Congress in conflict with the Constitution are not law---they are unconstitutional and the SC can rule acts of Congress unconstitutional. American law is based on the principle of precedent, meaning that if a court has already ruled on a given legal issue then future courts will follow the same legal path.
92 Electoral College The Electoral College is a process, not a place electors-majority of 270 electoral votes are required to elect the President--one for each House member (Congressman/woman) that a state has in the House of Representatives plus two for the Senators.

99 Creating a new governmentDelegates divide power between states & National govt. Separated the national govt’s power into 3 branches Separation OR Division of Powers-the new system of govt. was a form of Federalism that divided power between state & natl govt. Delegated powers--power given to natl govt by the Convention.
100 Federalism Divides power between the national govt & state govts. Power given to the national govt. by the constitution are called enumerated powers. Reserved powers are those powers kept by the states. Shared powers are This is federalism ---thank you
101 Constitutional ConventionPhiladelphia May 1787 Need to amend the Articles of Confederation Shay’s rebellion & Whiskey Rebellion A Federal system of Govt= power is divided between national & state govt. Congress regulates interstate commerce, levy & collect taxes, president head of executive branch
102 Enumerated /Delegated powersDelegated OR Enumerated powers=Given to Congress Foreign affairs, provide natl defense, regulate trade between the states, coining money, taxes, speed limits Reserved powers- power kept by the states Education, establishing marriage laws & regulating trade within the state, Gun licensing, taxes, speed limits The Bill of Rights: 1st 10 amendments to the constitution = protect the states a compromise between Federalist & Anti-Federalist politicians 10th Amendment- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
103 Separation of Powers 3 branches of Govt- Thank you Voltaire Legislative House of Reps & the Senate = 2 Chambers All tax laws originate in the House = raise taxes, create laws, regulate inter- state commerce (see next slide) House ways & means committee Senate- Approves treaties, Tries impeachment, create laws, committees the positive vote of both required to approve any & all legislation and over ride a presidential veto Minimum age for the House is 25 & the Senate 30
104 Voltaire’s Influence on US ConstitutionVoltaire was a staunch supporter of the freedom of speech, which is emphasized by 1st Amendment in the American Constitution.
105 Montesquieu wrote The Spirit of the Laws.described checks and balances on government by dividing the functions of power between three separate branches of government to protect liberty. One can see his ideas about separation of governmental powers reflected in the United States Constitution. Article I- Article 1 gives Congress its powers and limits Article II- the executive branch of the government--made up of the President and executive officers. Article III- The Judicial branch is the court system that interprets the law--includes the Supreme Court and the lower courts which are made by Congress.
106 Separation of Powers Executive branch= carry out the laws, pres is head Judicial branch = interpret the law, Fed courts & Supreme Court Checks & balances =the 3 branches were made to prevent one branch of govt from dominating the other President can veto acts of congress but congress can override a Pres veto by a 2/3 vote Pocket veto
107 What is good about the Constitution?1. It can be amended 2. A flexible document 3. Created 3 branches of govt. 4. creates checks & balances in govt 5. the 1st 10 amendments were done to protect States’ rights = Reserved powers The 9th amendment is extra protection that protect the State’s RESERVE powers
108 The Commerce Clause The Commerce Clause refers to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, this Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.” Very powerful clause for Congress
109 Quiz definitions-Fridayconstructionist Bill of Rights delegated powers loose, strict Bipartisan expressed powers enumerated powers
110 The Ninth Amendment ExplainedThe first eight amendments to the Constitution expressly prohibit the federal government from denying people fundamental rights and important procedural protections. To ensure that federal officials would not later claim that the list of such rights was exclusive, the Ninth Amendment was enacted. Then, to ensure that powers not expressly delegated to the federal government could still be exercised by the states, the Tenth Amendment was enacted. It reads as follows: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
111 Preamble to the Constitution of USAWe the people of the united States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United Sates of America
112 How to interpret the ConstitutionStrict interpretation or a loose one? The 2 opposing views that will haunt America forever 1. Strict constructionism= Anti-Federalist is the term used to describe a literal or strict reading of the United States Constitution. Nothing should be read into the Constitution that isn’t clearly already there, such as special rights for one segment of the population
113 Strict interpretation of the ConstitutionAnti-Federalist--The Anti-Federalists were those in the government who did not favor a strong national government and wanted to see more power go to individual states. Thomas Jefferson and George Clinton were among the most prominent Anti- Federalists.
114 The Federalist believed in aLoose Interpretation --- Alexander Hamilton and his followers favored a loose interpretation of the Constitution, which meant they believed that the document permitted everything that it did not expressly forbid. This contrasted sharply with Thomas Jefferson's strict anti-federalist interpretation.
115 The first Political PartiesFederalist party-Wealthy elites, Manufacturing, shipping & trade, Loose interpretation of Constitution, Protective Tariff, Pro-British Democratic-Republicans- led by TJ, agrarian economy, pro-French, strict interpretation of Constitution
