Unit III : Creation and Compromise - The Constitution
In Unit 2, students investigated the motivations behind the American Revolution, a unifying event for the various groups within colonial society. Now students identify early American democratic principles as stated in the founding documents and construct arguments on the limitations and consequences of the compromises made to create a new government. Students focus on the Constitution’s relationship to the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation, including the debates leading up to and following Constitutional ratification. They consider the compromises made by colonial leaders regarding individual “citizens” rights and the needs of the “majority.” They will evaluate the credibility of arguments and debates surrounding the question “What does government owe its people?” which led to the creation of two political parties. Students prepare several more speeches for the “We the People… Cornerstone.
BIG Ideas

- The Framers compromised on many issues at the Constitutional Convention.
- The Constitution provides a framework for our government and attempts to balance individual rights and the common good.
- The ideological vantage points of political parties are based upon their Constitutional interpretations.
