...The disagreements between Jefferson and Hamilton led them to the creation of the political parties within the United States, the Jeffersonian Republicans and the Federalists. Jefferson favored strict interpretation of the Constitution while the Federalists supported looser interpretation. Jefferson and Madison wrote the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions to attack the Federalist Party and argued for states’ right, arguing that they could nullify national laws. Although Jefferson and Madison both supported strict interpretation of the US Constitution, they started leaning towards looser interpretation, the main idea supported by the Federalists. Jefferson’s talk with Gideon Granger solidifies his point that the central government should have limited power over the state affairs (Doc 1). He believed that while the states took their own responsibilities, while national ideas still united them into a nation. Although not explicitly allowed by the Constitution, Jefferson went ahead with the Louisiana Purchase, further confirming his shifting beliefs towards a looser interpretation of the Constitution. In his talk with Samuel Miller, Jefferson expounds on his thoughts that religion should not be forced onto the people. He believed that all people are entitled to have the right of freedom of religion, which coincided with his beliefs of strict interpretation of the Constitution (Doc 2). Jefferson further states that while the President may have powers over civility, nobody has the power...

...During the nineteenth century, the number of European industrial workers dramatically increased, which transformed the conditions under which they lived and worked. Once the factories were moved to the cities, they became over-populated with all the people moving there for jobs. While the Industrial Revolution brought advances in machinery, technology, and economics, the conditions workers faced led to arguments on how to improve their living conditions, get higher wages, and poor working conditions. In document 1, 2, and 10, the authors believe that the poor should be more patient and that they should not rely too much on the rich. "And it is evident that every man in the lower classes of society, who become acquainted with these truths, would be disposed to bear the distresses in which he might be involved with more patience." from Thomas Malthus' document (doc.1) which shows a bias view to the rich. Davis Ricardo shows favoritism to the rich on "Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, 1817" (doc.2) when he says "Instead of making the poor rich, they are calculated to make the rich poor". All three men are letting the rich and nobles know that like all other contracts and wages, they should be left to the fair and competition of the market. The documents show bias because it seems as if they don't have any empathy for the poor and are blaming the poor for being in the position they are in. These arguments tried to help improve the life of Europeans...

...In the words of Winston Churchill, “it was as if as iron curtain had been drawn between the Soviet-controlled countries in Eastern Europe and the Western democracies” (Background Essay). The Soviet Union and the United States had many differences, however, one of their greatest differences were over a political and economic system called communism. In it’s purest form, communism is a belief that private property should be replaced by community ownership. Due to the major loss of 27 million Soviet soldiers, the Soviet Union wanted to prevent any further casualties. Therefore, the Soviet’s policy was the expansion of not only the country itself but also communism. With major disapproval of communism, the US made a policy of containment which prevented the Soviet Union and Soviet communism from spreading. Thus marking the beginning of the Cold War, which will last from 1947-1991. The US contained communism using these three strategic examples: the Berlin Airlift, the Korean War, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. One good example of US containment was the Berlin Airlift because of its illustration of US support against communism. With the Soviet Union’s need for expansion, Joseph Stalin ordered the Soviet Union to blockade West Berlin on June 27, 1948, expecting to weaken the territory and ultimately making it communist (Document B). However, the US containment policy prevented West Berlin from complying to communism by flying in supplies such as: food, clothes, and coal for nearly...

...The colonist declared their independence in 1776 from Great Britain because they felt that they had been treated unfairly. One of the main reasons that the colonist felt mistreated was because they were being taxed by Britain without any representation in Parliament.

Some of these goods included printed-paper, tea, and clothes. One of the most famous protests was the Boston Tea Party.
