Unit Two: Testing American Government
As a result of differing interpretations over the
Constitution and the power of the national government, what
organizations formed during the Early Republic Era?
Political Parties
1. This interpretation of the Constitution says that the
national government can ONLY do what is stated.
2. This interpretation of the Constitution says that the national government has
“implied” powers that go beyond what is written down.
1. Strict interpretation
2. Loose interpretation
This political party was in favor of a loose interpretation of the
Constitution and was successful in arguing the elastic clause gives
the government the power to create a national bank
Federalist Party
1. The Democrat-Republicans were led by what famous
man?
2. This famous man had a strict interpretation of the Constitution but needed to
change his beliefs to go through with what huge
purchase?
1. Thomas Jefferson
2. Louisiana Purchase
Give TWO examples of how national power increased during
the Early Republic Era
Hamilton’s Financial Plan (creation of a national bank)
Whiskey RebellionAlien & Sedition Acts
Louisiana Purchase
The name of the movement that led to the expansion of the right to vote for all white men and the “democratization” of
American government
Jacksonian Democracy
This barrier was eliminated as a qualification for voting
during the Age of Jackson which allowed all white men to
vote.
Property ownership
The system where Andrew Jackson gave government jobs
to people who voted for or supported him
Spoils System
1. The idea that a state has a right to determine what is
constitutional and can strike down a federal law.
2. What law did South Carolina strike down?
Nullification
Tariff of “Abominations”
Andrew Jackson was named “King Andrew” for using the veto power to kill what very
powerful economic institution, arguing that it existed only to
benefit the rich?
The Second Bank of the United States
In the song “Bonnie Blue Flag,” the chorus states,
“Hurrah, hurrah, for southern rights, hurrah.” What is the
South fighting for?
State’s Rights
This idea, proposed by Senator Stephen Douglass, allowed
settlers of a territory to vote on whether it would be free or
slave.
Popular Sovereignty
The theory that a state can break away or “leave” the
federal government
Secession
This event caused South Carolina to secede from the
Union
Election of Abraham Lincoln in November of 1860
The Supreme Court declared in Dred Scott v. Sanford that a slave was property. How did
this decision overturn the Missouri Compromise?
Slavery cannot be restricted from any state because the government cannot seize a
person’s property without due process of law (5th
amendment).
In his First Inaugural Address, Lincoln pledged to do what with regard to slavery? Also
the official position of the Republican Party on slavery.
Not interfere with it where it existed but prevent its expansion into western
territories (“containment”)
Battle that marked the turning Point of
the Civil War
Gettysburg
Famous speech in which Lincoln declared the Civil War
was being fought for a “new birth of freedom:” freedom for
the slaves
Gettysburg Address
Lincoln suspended this right during the Civil War claiming
it was necessary for prosecuting the war
Writ of habeas corpus
This document freed the slaves in only certain areas. Name the document and the areas where the slaves were free.
Emancipation Proclamation
Any area that was still in open rebellion against the United
States government (unconquered Confederate
states)
Congressional Reconstruction was led by this political group who was determined to extend
civil rights to blacks
Radical Republicans
This Reconstruction plan sought to bring the states in
easily by having 10% of each state’s citizens take a loyalty oath and agreeing to abolish
slavery
Presidential Reconstruction
This amendment, passed under Congressional
Reconstruction, gave African-Americans the right to vote
15th Amendment
Laws passed by Southern state legislatures in order to
“control” the movement and economic opportunities of
African-Americans
Black Codes
The 14th Amendment did TWO very important things.
Name them.
1. Strengthened the power of the federal government over
the states 2. Made discrimination based
on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. illegal
The economic system where most free blacks and many
whites “rented” land and sold a portion of the crops to the
landlord
Sharecropping
These laws segregated the white and black race in the
South
Jim Crow laws
Terrorist organization that used violence to prevent blacks
from voting and receiving other civil rights
Ku Klux Klan
This court case established that segregation was protected
by the 14th amendment so long as the facilities were
“equal”
Plessy v. Ferguson
Explain how the Supreme Court justified their decision
that segregation was constitution
The 14th amendment calls for the “equal protection of the
law”
– separate facilities can exist so long as they are equal.
This compromise admitted California as a free state which gave free states an advantage
in the Senate but also included a tough fugitive slave law that
made anyone who did not return a runaway slave eligible
for arrest.
Compromise of 1850
The federal government passed protective tariffs
during the Jackson administration in order to…
Protect Northern factories from cheap British goods
This man’s violent attempt to destroy slavery was responsible for convincing the South that slavery
was not safe in the Union and therefore they must secede.
John Brown (raid on Harper’s Ferry)
This compromise maintained the balance of power in the
Senate by admitting one territory as a slave state,
another as a free state, and drawing a line along the 36’30 parallel to decide the status of
slavery in the rest of the Louisiana Territory.
Missouri Compromise
As a result of the Civil War and Reconstruction, this key
idea or principle that the Founding Fathers
incorporated into the Constitution began to slowly die. You must also be able to
explain your answer.
Federalism: dividing power between the state and national
governments.
