States' Rights

Compact Theory: those who created entity have more superiority (states)
- not everyone believes this
Supremacy Clause: Constitution is supreme
Foundation of States' Rights--> 10th Amendment: any rights not specifically enumerated by the federal government are for the states
-states position themselves in between the federal govt. and the citizens to protect them (interposition)
Virginia & Kentucky Resolutions (1798)
- asserted states' rights to nullify Alien & Sedition Acts
- unsuccessful

Ishi Singh, 2nd Period
Today in class, we discussed History Fair and the DBQ assignment.
Lecture Notes:
Election of 1824
- candidates: Jackson (TN), Clay (KY), Crawford (GA) and Quincy Adams (MA).
- Since nobody won the majority, the president was to be chosen from the top three (Jackson, Adams, Crawford) by the House. They chose Adams.
- Clay, who had dropped out of the race, was the Speaker. Jackson, angered, called it a corrupt bargain when Clay was made Adams's Secretary of State.
Era of Hard Feelings and Nullification Crisis
- Supporters of Jackson and Adams insulted each other, as the Republicans began to split into the Democrats and Whigs.
- Jackson's supporters tried to ruin Adams's image by passing the Tariff of Abominations(1828).
- Jackson got blamed instead by the unhappy southern states.
- Calhoun, the VP, secretly published the South Carolina Exposition and Protest which supported nullification.
- Soon, SC nullifies the Tariff
- Clay makes Compromise of 1833: the tariff would be lowered, but the Force Bill will allow Jackson to send in an army if needed.
DBQ (Documents, Information Sheets, Essay, Rubric and Bibliography) due on Thurs (12/11) online and in class.
Test on Fri (12/12)Broadsheet due and Online Review on Thurs.

Ishi Singh, Period 2
Lecture Notes:
-Democratization: the extending of democracy to the people. This has social and economic effects as well as political ones.
-Suffrage: the right to vote. Franchisement/Enfranchisement can also be used. Disenfranchisement/disfranchise is the act of denying the right to vote.
Freedmen: emancipates slaves who do not necessarily have suffrage or other rights.
-Caucus: a small group that has a common interest, such as nominating presidential candidates.
-In 1828, national nominating conventions form, giving more political power to the people.
- "spoils system": To the victor goes the spoils. The winning president can do whatever he wants with staffing.
Tomorrow, DBQ projects are due (Rubric, Sample Essay, Bibliography, Documents and Doc Info sheet) Due on Turnitin and in hard copy.
Test on Friday (Summary Sheets due) and online review on Thurs.

We turned in our summary sheets with the inserted timeline. We did not have to turn in notebooks, but are given the option to turn it in if it's the difference in a letter grade at the end of the grading period. Don't forget to start #13 terms list over the weekend. It's due Tuesday, 12/16.
