Unruly Americans And The Origins Of The Constitution

Introduction Professor Holton purports in Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution that the Framers’ creation of the Constitution represented a “slur on the capacity of ordinary citizens” to govern themselves by placing the power of the National Government into the hands of the opulent few (Holton, Unruly Americans, 278). Is Holton’s interpretation of the Framers’ intentions equitable, or has he treated the delegates unfairly in neglecting the democratic elements of the document and

As society moved forward and Indians interacted more with the Europeans, they become more dependent on the Europeans for trade. However, the Indians become caught in between a cruel game of push and pull by the white Americans. By the constant new arrival of white Europeans, the Indians were starting to be pushed from their homelands.

political change. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than on farms. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Americans into an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.” People from coast to coast bought the same goods (thanks to nationwide advertising and the spread of chain stores), listened to the same music, did the same dances and even used the same slang.

Due to the sometimes racy “mass culture”, many Americans were uncomfortable. In United States, the 1920s brought more confrontation than happiness

This new movement described a time in Western philosophy and cultural life in which reason was advocated as the primary source and legitimacy for authority. ‘To understand the natural world and humankinds place in it solely on the basis of reason and without turning to religious belief was the goal of the wide-ranging

enslavement of millions of Africans during the institutionalization of slavery, to the unlawful imprisonment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War II; minorities around the country have consistently been the targets of racial profiling. The problem is far deeper than just black and white; its roots lie at the economic, social, and political disparities that Anglo-Americans enjoy over minorities in this country.

Eisenhower Discussion We no longer have our eyes focused on what is happening beyond our borders, we now have an emerging problem with radicalized, naturalized Americans citizens who are composed of a variety of groups.
