Historical Essay #1: Confederation and Constitution (due Week 4)


As depression struck the new nation in the mid-1780s, new questions arose about the nature of
American democracy. Many conservatives believed that the answer lay in a stronger national
government. Most radicals believed it was up to the states to relieve the financial burden of the
people. These sentiments fostered a movement for a new constitution. Political differences soon
stimulated the creation of political parties.
Compare and contrast the Articles of Confederation with the new Constitution of 1787. What
were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles vis--vis the Constitution? Give specific
instances that demonstrate the weakness of the Articles (such as the Western problem).
Then analyze the drafting of the Constitution, using specific details to show how the various
states (slave vs. free, east vs. west) compromised in order to effectively draft a constitution. Pay
particular attention to Roger Shermans plan, the Great Compromise, which broke a stalemate
that could have been fatal to the development of the new Constitution.
Finally, compare and contrast the debate over ratification between the Federalists and the Anti-
Federalists. Make sure you cite specific examples from the Federalist Papers to support the
Federalist position and contrast it with leading proponents of the opposition (such as John
Hancock). Analyze how the debate over a bill of rights illustrates the differences between the two
parties. Evaluate the relative success of the Bill of Rights in achieving an effective balance
between national and states interests.
This paper must be four to five double-spaced pages in length (not including the References
page) and utilize no less than four academic quality sources. Margins should be no more than one
inch (right and left) and the essay should be composed in an appropriate font and size. Sources

Historical Essay #2: America and the Great War (due Week 7)
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the immediate cause of World War I. But the
events that led to the Great War go further back into the nineteenth century. As with the Boxer
Rebellion of 1900, nationalism, imperialism, and militarism all played a part.
Analyze how the forces of nationalism, imperialism, and militarism irrevocably led to World War
I. Pay particular attention to the rise of Pan-Slavism in Eastern Europe and the corresponding rise
of nationalism in German-speaking states. Analyze how the alliance system contributed to the
ultimate outbreak of war.
Then analyze the events that drew the United States into World War I. Clearly discuss why
America first remained neutral between1914-1917. What role did ethnicity play in Americas
neutrality? Then identify and analyze the specific events that led to Americas entrance into the
war. Evaluate Americas contribution to the war effort and to what extent Americas entry
contributed to the end of the war. Finally, analyze the events that led to the defeat of the Treaty of
Versailles. What effect did this have on Americas role in the world during the 1920s and 1930s?
Pay particular attention to the role of President Woodrow Wilson both during and after the war,
in particular, his efforts to establish the League of Nations.
This paper must be four to five double-spaced pages in length (not including the References
