party politics project and test

Your project is due Friday - see previous posts for the description.

Your test on the rise of political parties and parties today will be next Tuesday, 1/8.  The format will be multiple choice and open response.  Here are some questions to help you review:


-Why was Washington a good choice for the first chief executive?
-How did political parties emerge, and how did they differ in their views?
-What would the country be like today if Jefferson’s vision for America had been adopted?
-What did Washington and Adams do to shape and define the role of the presidency?
-What events defined each administration, foreign and domestically?  What were each administration's successes and failures?
-How would you interpret the major themes of the first part of U.S. history (U.S. is vs. are, liberty vs. security, the meaning of freedom) in the context of this period?
-What generally defines Democrats and Republicans today?
