Opener: The framers of the Constitution realized that if the US was to survive as a nation, it must strengthen the central government and bring the states into "a more perfect union".
In order to meet this end, the US Constitution has several "clauses" that ensure that the federal government has the ability to to bring the states into compliance.
In your notebook, explain at least 2 things that the national government is better suited to do than state or local government.
Activity #1 - Make an ASERTion! Each of you will receive an assigned amendment or clause,
which you will summarize and argue for as the most important clause or addition or change to the US Constitution. To make certain that their ASERTion is valid, you must make a valid Argument, Support that argument with terms, specific details and examples, Explain how your evidence supports your argument, Refute other claims or criticisms, and then restate your Thesis. You
