Reading from text...

OK, as you read tonight, ponder the following reading questions...

1. How did the Monroe Doctrine change the direction of the United States' role in the world?
2. What circumstances led to the United States becoming 'smaller' while expanding?
3. How did the Supreme Court decisions mentioned (Marbury v. Madison, McCullough vs. Maryland, and Martin v. Hunter's Lessee) strengthen the American republic?
4. What initiated the political changes that occurred on pp. 326-327?
5. What allowed for slavery to once again become the pre-eminent issue of the period?
