This Day in Mr. Bruce's History Bell Work

What We Did In Class media type="custom" key="28102833"Today we are exploring the idea of //federalism// using a video created by PBS (embedded below). With this video we are going to explore the creation of the federal system created in 1787 and consider it in its historic context as well as our contemporary struggle to understand it. The video includes a few segments that give us an opportunity to ask very relevant and historically necessary questions. Particularly: //Did the states create the Constitution or give the national government its authority and power? //

This question and others are before us as we progress through this week and take upon us the challenge of understanding the system of government that the Founders created and that we still struggle to understand today.
