Assignment: Read the Preamble and Article I of the Constitution (Appendix A-3)and answer the following guide questions:
1. How does this section address the flaws that existed in the Articles of Confederation?
2. How does the Preamble introduce the purpose of the Constitution? How does it reflect its flexible nature (applicable to any time period)?
3. How does Section 9 address our individual civil liberties?
4. How does Article I in its entirety address the problems inherent in most governments (the ones talked about in class)?
5. Agree/disagree: Article I protects state power while strengthening the powers of the national government.
6. Agree/disagree: the wording of Article I leaves little room for interpretation of the powers of Congress.
Simply answer the questions as best you can as you read. You do not have to post any comments. This assignment is merely to ensure your understanding of the Constitution, and to prepare you for tomorrow's class. If we do not get to answer a question in class tomorrow, then we will continue on Thursday.
