**Name: Sabrina Cialdella Unit 3 Pt. 2 HW \#2** **Pattern: F** **Directions:** RTN (read and take notes) on CH. 6 (pgs. 109-117). Then answer the questions that follow. **Post your completed work to myMSMA by 8am on Tues 12/17.** **Part 1: CH. 6: Shaping a New Republic (pgs. 109-17)** 1. **Explain differing views on how the French Revolution divided many Americans.** The French Revolution significantly divided Americans, primarily along political lines, with the Federalists largely viewing the revolution with suspicion and hesitance due to its violent excesses, while the Anti Federalists generally supported the revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality, even if they did disapprove of some actions taken by the revolutionaries. 2. **How did the U.S. gain access to the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans (Spanish territory up until 1800)?** 3. **How did the U.S. government deal with American Indians as the nation expanded westward?** 4. **Explain the similarities and differences between Shays Rebellion (p.120) and Whiskey Rebellion (p.139)?** 5. **What was the primary cause of the First Two Party System?** **The primary cause of the First Two Party System in the US was because of the differing views on the power of the federal government with the Federalists favoring a strong central government and the Anti-Federalists (Democratic-Republicans) favored a weaker central government with more power to the states.** 6. **What was the purpose of President George Washington's Farewell Address?** 7. **How did the Alien and Sedition Acts contribute to the political conflict over how to interpret the Constitution?** These Acts significantly contributed to the political conflict over interpreting the Constitution by sparking major debate about the limits of federal power, particularly the First Amendment. The Democratic Republicans arguing that the acts violated these rights by allowing the government to suppress political dissent. The Federalists on the other hand said it was a necessary to protect national security. **Part 2: Multiple Choice Practice, pp 120-122** 1. C 2. D 3. B 4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D 8. D
