THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLIC
The U.S. Constitution
After reading the Background materials and conducting further research on your own, answer the following short-answer questions:
What were some of the key ideas which helped in framing the U.S. Constitution?How did these ideas differ from those in England?
How did Federalists and Anti-Federalists differ in their view of government? Give details. (You may use the Federalist papers as a resource).
What compromises were made between both groups in order to reach an agreement and ratify the Constitution?
The best way to approach this paper is to follow the order of the questions and begin your paper with, “1. What were some of the key ideas which helped in framing the U.S. Constitution? How did these ideas differ from those in England?” Since this is a two-part question, it would be good to present it in two sections. For example; once you’ve completed your discussion on framing the Constitution, then create a sub-title, “How did these ideas differ from those in England?”. And then present your findings.

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY REPUBLICAssignment Overview
The American Revolution and Independence
As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors.
Case Assignment
Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence.
In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking.
The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern.
