The transcripts of these important documents can be found at the following websites: U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. (n.d.). The Constitution of the Unites States: A transcription. U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. (n.d.). The Bill of Rights. Ratified in 1788, the U.S. Constitution is made up of a Preamble and seven articles that describe the way the United States’ government is structured and how it operates.

Prompt: Compare and contrast two different reforms from this week's readings.

Topic- The Role of Lawyers in Shaping 18th Century British Society Make a slide show on this topic. Use zero Plagiarism or AI. Look at documents that I have attached.

Dances with Wolves First – Watch the film and take notes. What is the subject of the film? (Not more than one paragraph. – The paper should not be a summary of the movie.) The majority of the paper should be based on your reaction to, thoughts, what stood out to you as historically relevant? What do you think the historical message or theme of the movie was? Think historically – do not get too lost in the individual characters. Was the movie successful in showing the theme? Why or why not? Technical Directions Cite any quotes – in quotation marks and specifically tell me where you got the quote after your paper. If you are unsure how to cite a passage – separate instructions are given. (If I need to check the quote, the end citation should make it possible to check it quickly.) I will not require a specific format; you can use first-person wording – for example – “I saw _____.”

“Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” – Fannie Lou Hamer, American voting and women's rights activist, community organizer, and a leader in the civil rights movement. In this class, we have looked at different ideas about freedom and liberty since the colonial era up to the turn of the twentieth century. In your final essay, you will put forth an argument/thesis statement about freedom in the U.S. focusing on the history of African Americans and using evidence from primary and secondary source materials.    The scope of the timespan you cover in your essay is your choice. For example, you can choose to only focus on the era of slavery. Or you can write about slavery as well as the experience of Black Americans after slavery ended, up to the early twentieth century. Use the following questions as a guide: What were some of the prevailing ideas about freedom in early U.S. history? Who got to define freedom? Who was included/not included? How have African Americans pursued freedom in this country over time? In what ways were they denied freedom during slavery/after slavery ended? What are some ways they carved out freedom for themselves even while enslaved? How did they engage in resistance against racial oppression during/after slavery ended? As you trace this history, keep in mind issues of race as it relates to gender, sexuality, and class. For example, how an African American woman experienced slavery was different from how an African American man experienced it. In addition, if you want to focus your essay on the experiences of African American women you can do so. Lastly, in the final 1-2 paragraphs of your essay, I want you to consider why this history matters now. How does the historical legacy of racial oppression in the U.S. continue to impact Black Americans today? Feel free to consider contemporary movements for racial justice (for example, the Black Lives Matter movement) and/or you might want to draw on something you learned listening to the 1619 Project. As you consider present-day racial oppression in this country, reflect on the following question, how do we get free? For example, what oppressive structural system(s) would need to be abolished or reformed? And/or what attitudes need to shift and how? Can you imagine a path towards more freedom for all Americans?

After reviewing farmers during the Great Depression and the relative success of President Roosevelt's New Deal, you now turn your attention to criticism of the New Deal. The purpose of this exercise is to acquaint you with alternative proposals to provide assistance to needy Americans. It is an example of how Americans have the right and freedom to challenge national leaders and their policies. This unit's assignment will build your abilities in comprehending competing economic plans, make informed analyses, and appreciate the rights Americans possess to be critical of their public leaders. Tasks There are two parts to this assignment. Essay: After reading the excerpts of the Long, Townsend, and Sinclair proposals included on theThinking About Your New Deal Essay page. Write an essay that answers the following question: What made the Long, Townsend, and Sinclair proposals attractive to Americans who wanted additional assistance for the needy and why? Your essay should be at least 3 pages (of at least 5 paragraphs), use 12 point Times New Roman font, and be double-spaced. Use only the sources provided and be sure to cite all quotations. Reflection (Identity Verification): Type a brief 3-4 paragraph of yourself reflecting on what you've learned during this unit and through the process of writing your essay. Explain what you understand now that you didn't before. Have your views changed because of this? Why or why not? Please make sure that the following are done: (a) offer a clear argument (thesis statement) about why these three proposals were appealing to Americans during this time; (b) support that argument with strong subclaims as well as evidence from both the primary sources as well as the chapter texts; and (c) demonstrate understanding of the primary sources through interpretation of well-chosen quotations;

the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. Do you think management owes workers or investors for the health and growth of various industries. Did the managers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have a primary responsibility to restore workers’ wages or to reward investors with greater dividends? What would you have done if you had been the railroad’s directors and why.
