Civics Review: The Declaration and Constitution

Reading and Civics

After Washington, Adams became president. After Adams, Thomas Jefferson became president.

This stamp shows the Louisiana Territory

Thomas Jefferson wanted the United States to get bigger and bigger.

The Louisiana Territory was 828,000 square miles of land. It was named after King Louis (Luis) of France.

In 1803, the United States bought the Louisiana Territory from France.

What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803? –> Louisiana

In 1812, there was more war with England. One man saw a terrible fight all night long. But in the morning, the US flag was still there.

He wrote a poem and a song called “The Star Spangled Banner.”

The Star Spangled Banner means “the flag with a lot of stars.”

It was very popular. It became the national anthem for the United States.

You can watch the National Anthem from the 2021 Inauguration of Joe Biden

What is the name of the national anthem? –> The Star Spangled Banner

African people were brought to the United States as slaves from 1619 to 1821.

Even after 1821, slavery continued in the south United States.

There were 4 million slaves in the United States. More and more, people said: “This is wrong. All people have the rights of life and liberty.”

Susan B. Anthony fought for the right to vote for women.

These people wanted civil rights for all Americans. Civil rights means protecting the rights of all people.

One important civil rights leader was Susan B. Anthony. Susan B. Anthony fought for civil rights for all people, black and white.

Also, Susan B. Anthony fought for women’s rights. For example, in the 1700s and 1800s, women in the United States did not have the right to vote.

What did Susan B. Anthony do? –> Fought for women’s rights.

Suffragists parade down Fifth Avenue, New York City, 1917. Advocates march in October 1917, displaying placards containing the signatures of more than one million New York women demanding the vote. The New York Times Photo Archives

In 1920, Americans made a change to the constitution. The 19th (nineteenth) Amendment means that all women citizens of the United States get the right to vote.

But what about the millions of slaves in the US in the 1800s? The evil problem of slavery was like a bomb waiting. And in 1861, the bomb went off.

Questions

What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803?
What did Susan B. Anthony do?
What is the name of the national anthem?

History: A new constitution

January 28, 2021teacherericOnline Class, Uncategorized, US Civics, Winter 2021

Reading and Civics

The constitution is the most important law of the United States.

That is what we mean when we say the constitution is the supreme law of the US.

What is the supreme law of the land? –> The Constitution

The Constitution has the idea of self-government in the first three words.

Self-government means a government by the people, of the people, and for the people.

It means we have a democracy, and we elect representatives.

The idea of self-government is in the first three words of the Constitution. What are these words? –> We the people

Before the Constitution, the US didn’t have a clear system. States did not agree about important things like money, the military, or elections.

The Constitution was a plan to set up the government. It explains the system of government.

The founding fathers were leaders who started the United States. They met in 1787 to write a new constitution for the US.

This meeting was called the “Constitutional Convention.” During the Constitutional Convention, the founding fathers wrote the constitution.

After the constitution was written, every state had a vote about it.

Alexander Hamilton wrote the Federalist Papers. They explained why the US needed this constitution.

N-400 Part 12: Questions 1-5

January 26, 2021April 27, 2021teacherericN400, Online Class, Winter 2021

Some of the questions on the N-400 are normal questions about your life.

Where do you live?
Do you have children?
What is your current address?

But, the N-400 has some very specific questions about your history. These are questions about taxes, telling the truth, crime, and more. Some questions use very specific legal vocabulary.

These questions are in Part 12 of the N-400, from page 11 to page 16. There are more than 70 questions in Part 12.

The officers usually only ask some of the questions. But, you should be prepared to answer any of them.

So, what should you learn?

Listen to the question, and understand it.
Be ready to answer the question, and practice your answers.
Practice asking “Excuse me” or “Can you explain?”
Learn the meaning of the specific words (vocabulary) in this part.

The British Government and the King of England made taxes higher and higher. More and more colonists were unhappy with the government.

More than 15,000 years ago, people came to North America, Central America, and South America.

They spread all over America, and created many different cultures and civilizations.

These people were the Native Americans, or American Indians.

Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived? –> American Indians or Native Americans

There were thousands of different American Indian groups, called tribes.

Many tribes are still here today. More than 5 million Native Americans and mixed race Native Americans live in the United States now.

Each tribe has its own traditions, leaders, art, culture, and languages, too.

One example is the Pueblo tribe. Today, a Pueblo woman, Deb Haaland, is a US Representative in New Mexico. She was elected for the second time in November 2020.

In December 2020, Joe Biden chose her to be the next Secretary of the Interior. The Department of the Interior manages 507 million acres of land in the US. It is also responsible for relationships with Native Americans.

Extra information: Right now, the United States has 6 representatives in congress who are Native Americans. They are from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Hawaii.

Name one American Indian tribe in the United States. –> Pueblo

World Map – Robinson Projection by Wikimedia Commons user Strebe

People from Europe are called Europeans. Christopher Columbus was one of the first Europeans to come to America.

Europeans fought American Indians, took their land, and brought diseases. Some Europeans did business with the Indians, made friendships, and even married with them. But, millions of American Indians died from these problems.

Europeans started colonies in America. These were new cities, but they still had a connection to their home country.

For example, Spain, Portugal, and England started many colonies. The people who live in colonies were called colonists.
