Day 10
Learning Targets: Students will be able to...
- Explain how societal needs affect the constitutional allocation of power between the national and state governments.
- Articulate a defensible claim/thesis.
- Explain how the appropriate balance of power between national and state governments has been interpreted differently over time.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Opener: Enumerated (numbered) powers are listed in the US Constitution, while others are "implied" (Elastic Clause), but some are "Denied".
What powers should the US Government never be given? Is there any part of your life that they can't regulate?
Activity #1 - Articles and Clauses Organizer
While each group takes 2 minutes to present their assigned clause to the class, each student should record each of the following components in your notebook:
- Name of Article or Clause:
- Summary of Article or Clause (what does it do?):
- How does this clause strengthen the national government and bind our nation (why is it so important)? Provide examples.
