History Question

1. What is the significance of the Supreme Court’s 1803 Marbury v. Madison decision?

What was the case about, and how did the Courts decision help to clarify the specific
powers that it exercised? What can the Supreme Court do? How does it play a key role in
a system of checks and balances?
Your response must include properly cited evidence from Federalist 78 and the
textbook, including some direct quotes from both sources.
2. In Federalist 70, Alexander Hamilton argues for the necessity of an Executive Branch in
the new constitutional scheme. Discuss his argument: Why, for example, does he claim
that a president will bring “energy” to government? In what specific areas of governance
will such energy be important? And what does he mean when he argues that the

Executive should be a unitary one? Why would it be problematic to have more than
one person in this role?
Your response must include properly cited evidence from Federalist 70 and the
textbook, including some direct quotes from both sources.
3. Discuss the significance of the Supreme Courts decision in Texas v. Johnson. What was
this case about? What constitutional principles were involved? And why is it considered
to be a landmark decision? What was the Courts ultimate argument about the meaning
of these constitutional principles?
Your response must include properly cited evidence from the textbook, the U.S.
Constitution, and the Texas v. Johnson syllabus. This includes some direct quotes
from all three sources.
4. Explain how the U.S. Constitution and landmark federal laws seek to uphold the civil
rights of all citizens. What are civil rights, and where in the text of the U.S. Constitution
can we look to find an expression of such rights? In addition to the Constitution, discuss
at least two key congressional laws and/or Supreme Court decisions that have clarified or
expanded on the Constitutions civil rights protections.
Your response must include properly cited evidence from the textbook and at least
one of Week Sevens supplemental readings or podcasts. This includes some direct
quotes from all sources.
Bonus (2 points): Our textbook discusses the “classic legislative process” and argues that
“modern legislation is different.” Discuss some of the reasons why the legislative process has
changed since the 1970s. Response must include properly cited evidence from the textbook,
including some direct quotes.

5. Short critique: well written? Anything missing? Could have written better? (good/bad)

6. 2 questions you will read to the class to answer based on the text

Let me know if you have any questions, but it is pretty straightforward forward. I just need it on Google Slides, and you can share the slideshow when it is finished. The directioins are pretty flexible and make any imporovements you see fit, I will provide example of other presentations. If the presentation seems a little short add a slide or two that you think will match the general layout of the other presenation I share with you Make a script for each slide so I can present to my class, and dont make the script sound so scholarly, the point of the script is too just elaborate a little deeper on the slides and for it to sound engaging. The presentation should be around 8is minutes so write the script accordingly.

my email is zackarykyla@gmail.com to share once done. also please upload the pdf to study pool when finished as well.. I need this to sound really polished and well versed, and for the questions to be enaging and anakytical. In the script part of the questions, include my own answers that i can contribute to the discussion when I ask them to the class.
