Learning Target 3: I will be able to summarize, examine and evaluate historical maps, data, charts, graphs, photos, audio, clips and video footage to explain several of the important concepts of federalism.

1. You will be given a map similar to the map on your chapter four section two notes depicting the territorial growth of the United States from 1783 to 1853.

2. You will be given a political cartoon based on the Constructional right to bear arms included in the 2nd Amendment.

3. You will be given a political cartoon depicting a problem that can be solved by a federal grant-in-aid program

1. You will be given a primary source document designed to draw out your inference regarding the framers push for a limit on the power of the federal government

Learning Target 5: I will be able to explain the important functions of the Constitution and how it reflects the fundamental concepts of federalism through the use of short answer questions.

Short Answer Topics:

28.) The National Government of the United States is a government of delegated powers established through the concepts of federalism. Please identify and discuss the three main types of delegated powers, why certain powers are denied to the federal government and reserved for the state and list several concurrent powers that the federal government and State governments possess. Finally discuss how the Supremacy Clause works to create a hierarchy in regards to laws and treaties.

Things to think about and discuss:

• Please identify and explain the concepts of delegated powers and federalism

• Identify and discuss the three main types of delegated powers

• Explain why certain powers are denied to the federal government and allocated for the states

• List two to three concurrent powers the federal government and State governments hold

29.) When the Constitution went into effect in 1789, the Unites States was a small agricultural nation of fewer than four million people. As our country continued to change geographically, politically and socially the Constitution was forced to adapt through the process of amendments. Traditionally there are two main forms of amendments formal and informal. Please discuss what an amendment is, how many have been added to the Constitution since its inception in 1789, describe the basic concepts of formal and informal amendments in addition to providing two to three examples for each. Be sure the pinpoint the key concept that truly separates a formal and informal amendment.

• Provide two to three examples of formal and informal amendments

30.) One of the best examples of cooperative federalism are federal grants-in-aid programs. Through these grants the federal government can allocate tax revenue to States, counties, cities and other local units of government. Please list and describe the three main types of federal grants-in-aid programs and provide at least two examples of how we might see each type of grant practically applied.
