3 High School Foundations (see USHG F1.2) Understand how the character of American life and political society changed with respect to competing views on the responsibilities of government; the development of political parties; America s role in the world. Public Issues (See 6.2) Balance of Power: Distribution of power among central government, state governments, and the people. Liberty vs. Security: Competing interests of liberty and security Unit Abstract This unit addresses the role of political and social leaders in meeting the challenges of the new government. Students explore the development of foreign policy, economic policy, politics, and early expansion that transformed the United States as a nation from the time of George Washington s inauguration to the Monroe Doctrine. Beginning with the economic problems faced by the new government, students examine and evaluate the economic policies proposed by Jefferson and Hamilton and explore how these disagreements and others led to the rise of political parties. Using primary sources, they assess the impact of the Marshall Court on the power of federal and state governments. Students also evaluate America s changing relationship with other nations, and use evidence of treaties, wars, and policy decisions to support their positions. Throughout the unit, students explore the tensions caused by the separating and balancing of power within and among central and state governments and the people, as well as those derived from the competing interests of liberty and security in both historical and contemporary times. Focus Questions 1. How did political and social leaders attempt to meet the domestic and foreign challenges facing the new government? 2. How did competing ideas, experiences of political leaders, and fears of the Founders influence the development of political parties? 3. How did the decisions of the Supreme Court, including the power of judicial review, help to define the authority of the national government?
