Serving on a Jury: A Civic DutyWHY ITS IMPORTANT
What role do citizens play in courts? What does a jury do? What is theresponsibility of a juror? Who can be on a jury?
BACKGROUNDThe Seventh Amendment to the Constitution assures individuals the
right to a trial by jury. Juries in both federal and state courts are made up ofcitizens. Jurors are summoned, or called, for duty by mail. Jurors must bewilling to take time off from work and give up their free time. Jury duty isa citizens responsibility.
Juries are important because they give an individual accused of a crimean opportunity to be judged by several individuals with different view-points rather than by one person with one viewpoint. This process, guaran-teed by the United States Constitution, helps to keep trials fair and just.
QUESTIONS TO ASK
1. Why are juries important?
2. What qualities do you think a good juror should have?
3. Why is participating on a jury important?
4. Do you agree with this statement made by ChiefJustice John Jay in 1794: . . . juries are the bestjudges of facts. . . .? Why or why not?

DID YOU KNOW?Today over 30 states use teen courts, or peercourts, to prosecuteteens for offenses suchas skipping school,underage drinking, andtraffic offenses. Teensserve as prosecution anddefense lawyers, thejury, and, in some cases,the judge. Verdicts fromthese courts are legallybinding, and sentencesusually involve commu-nity service.

YOUR TASKDesign a teen court for your school. Organize the court, deciding which
court roles teens will play, what types of cases will be heard, and how sen-tencing will be handled. Create a chart outlining your teen court.
Below are three models of teen courts.
HOW TO DO ITResearch teen courts. You can search the Internet or the library, write to
the judicial branch of a state that uses teen courts, or visit a teen court.Develop a model for your teen court. Use the diagram below of a court-
room to help you organize your court.
Prepare a mock trial. Use issues related to your school, such as vandal-ism, or disrespect of teachers or peers. After the trial, discuss what madethe trial fair, what problems occurred, and which model worked best.Then decide if teen courts are a good idea for your school.
FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITYInterview the clerk of courts or a judge. Discuss the civic responsibility
of jury duty. Here are some examples of questions you could ask: How is aperson chosen for jury duty? Are jurors paid for jury duty? How long domost juries spend on a trial?

The Power of SteamBACKGROUND
The American Revolution brought great changes to the lives of the peo-ple of the United States. The new government wrestled with the challeng-ing problems of a growing nation. Congress was forced to deal with newdemands in managing the economy of a large nation.
Along with the changes in government, another revolution was takingplace in the United Statesthe Industrial Revolution. The machines andinventions of the Industrial Revolution brought about new ways in howmany people worked and lived.
The Steam EngineThe early inventions required a mill to be located near a flowing river to
power the great gears that turned the machines. This all changed with theinvention of the steam engine, which was used to power machines. By1850 steam engines powered the textile and other industries. Steam loco-motives and steamships brought products from the farms to the peopleliving in the cities. Cities grew because people could live in the city, work,and buy their food and clothing.
The factories found in the cities looked toward a more efficient systemto produce goods. By the end of the1800s, the answer was foundtheassembly line. In an assembly line, goods move along a line while workersstay in one place doing the same job over and over. The product is fin-ished by the time it reaches the end of the assembly line. The assemblyline was a far more efficient system than the cottage industry previouslyused. In this system, one family would produce a product, working on thesame product from start to finish.
DIRECTIONS: Answer the following questions.1. Why did the steam engine eliminate the need for an industry to be
located near a water source?
2. How do you think the steam engine affected the growth of cities?
3. How did factories improve on the cottage industries used before?

The steam engine and the factoriesthat grew as the result of its powergave rise to a new labor force. Peopleworked long hours in dangerous situa-tions. Young children who might oth-erwise have labored in farm fields nowlabored at large machines. Movementfrom the farms to the city helped tomaintain an ever-growing labor force.The profits made from the labors ofcity workers were used to build newfactories. The number of United Statescities grew, and so did the economy.
DIRECTIONS: Use the graph to answerthe questions.4. Describe the pattern of cotton pro-
duction for the years 18001850.
5. How would you describe the pat-tern for the price of cotton for theyears 18001850?
6. What can be said about the price of cotton in relation to the amount of cotton produced?
CRITICAL THINKINGDrawing Conclusions How would you describe the impact of the invention of the steam engine on American society in the early 1800s?

Of Ghosts and Sailing Ships
GUIDED READING As you read the selection, look for clues that tell youwhat is about to happen.
The Salem Ghost Shipretold by Frank Shay
We were all Salem men aboard the brig Neptune andwe were ending a sixteen months voyage on the short-est day of the year. Wed be home in Salem in time forChristmas. Salems a town that holds its peoplewherever they roam. . . . Theres an oldlegend that says no matter where hisbody dies, the spirit of a true Salem manalways returns.
Captain Abner Low had taken JackSomers and me along with him. . . .We had started out with the usualYankee cargo of rum, Lowell cottons,codfish, cheese, clocks, furniture, andshoes . . . and now we were return-ing, returning home to Salem, with a rich haul from Europe, Africa, and Asia. . . .
[The captain] instructed us inarithmetic and the simple problems ofnavigation. Our more practical education was in the hands of Sails, theelderly sailmaker. It was this character who taught us to knot, reeve[reduce the sail area to slow the ship], and splice, to hand, reef [to run arope through a hole in a block], and steer. . . . From old Sails we learnedthe lore of the sea, . . . Sails loved talking about the ghost ships. . . .
Even though we were sure Sails was pulling our legs, we loved hearingthe stories as much as he loved telling them. Before wed put the firstpatches on our sea breeches, we were sneaking peeks at the horizon, hoping to catch a glimpse of a phantom ship. We hadnt seen a one.
About the Selection Many sailors who left colonial ports to trade withother nations did not make the trip back home. Disease, storms, and faminewere just a few of the dangers that took sailors lives. Many of the legends thatarose about sea life helped people deal with their helplessness in the face oftragedies at sea. The following legend tells the story of a young sailors firstencounter with the Salem Ghost Ship on the last leg of the triangular trade.

And now the trip was over. We were entering Salem Harbor. . . .Darkness had already fallen. Mr. Cates, the pilot, was beside me. Sailsstood with Jack just below. . . .
The pilot gave orders in his quiet voice, and I repeated them loud andstrong with the added sir. . . .
Ease her a bit to port, lad, said Mr. Cates.To port, sir! I snapped, and then two bells were struck. . . .I turned and looked aft. A great ship under full sail, four times the size
of the Neptune, was bearing down on us. For a moment I wondered whatmaniac was her master. Then, quickly, I threw the helm over hard to port,believing I could throw the brig over enough to ease a dead-on crash. Butthe wheel was taken roughly from my hands, and I was crowded off thegrating.
The wheel spun back to its old position, and Mr. Catess calm voicesaid, Steady, lad, steady!
I must have been cringing, waiting for the crash. Shell strike us star-board, I thought, and well find ourselves swimming for the Triangles, our ship at the bottom.
The crash didnt come. Lifting my head, I saw the giant vessel tackslightly and come along starboard, crowding us. . . . I thought I could seeher masts through her sails, as though they were cobwebs; I could see herstout frames through the hull. But she carried no cargo, there were no menin her focsle, and there was no one at her helm. And, as we all looked ather, she faded away, as though shed entered a dense fogbank.
Jack and I looked to each other and then to Sails. His jaw hung openand his eyes stared straight ahead, fixed on the now-vanished ship.
Its the Ghost Ship, Mr. Cates said in his quiet voice. A proper Salemman has died somewhere, and the ship is bringing his spirit home toSalem, home for Christmas.SOURCE: From Sea to Shining Sea. New York, Scholastic Inc., 1993.
DIRECTIONS: Recalling Facts Answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper.1. What continents does the brig Neptune sail to in order to trade goods?2. How are boys trained to navigate?3. CRITICAL THINKING Why do you think the narrator refers to Sails as a character?4. How does the author foreshadow that the ship they will encounter is
a ghost ship?5. READER RESPONSE Think about ghost stories you have been told. How do
elements of this story compare to others that you have heard?

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGEThe English language is a blend of words
from many sources. Sometimes words comefrom another language. Tomato, potato,and chocolate, for example, originated asNative American words that became partof the English language. New technologyoften gives the language new words aswell. Words such as modem, byte, and soft-ware come from computer technology.
Sometimes a persons name becomes anew word, called an eponym. Creators ofnew inventions, for example, may find the invention named for them in either aflattering or critical way. Gerrymanderingis an example of a critical eponym.
THE GERRYMANDERThe word gerrymandering was formed
to name a practice first used in the UnitedStates by the Massachusetts legislature.According to the United States Constitution,a states population should determine thenumber of representatives in the House of
Representatives. The Constitution, how-ever, does not explain how districts are tobe divided within states.
Sometimes state legislators draw thedistrict lines with a self-serving purposein mind. In 1812 the Republican majorityin the Massachusetts legislature voted toredraw the lines between the states sena-torial districts. When they examined themap, they identified some areas withFederalist majorities. They then redrewthe lines so that most of the Federalistvoters would be concentrated within ahandful of districts. As a result, the Fed-eralist voters could not elect as manystate senators as before. Thus, the Rep-ublicans maintained a majority of seats in the state senate.
Newspaper editor Benjamin Russellnamed the practice. Russell noticed thatthe outline of one sprawling districtlooked like a salamander. Russellspaper showed the outline in a politicalcartoon, adding claws, wings, and ahead with fangs and a forked tongue.He called the district a Gerrymander. Theterm combined the word salamander withthe name of the Republican governor ofMassachusetts, Elbridge Gerry. Thoughthe legislature drew the districts, Gerrywas blamed.
GERRYMANDERS GO NATIONALOther states enthusiastically copied the
idea. They drew their own gerrymanders,or districts drawn to favor one party.
What happened to the man afterwhom this practice was named? In 1812,the same year the word gerrymander wascoined, James Madison was elected pres-ident of the United States. ElbridgeGerry became his vice president.

MAKING THE LANGUAGE ARTS CONNECTION
DIRECTIONS: Recalling Facts Use the reading to answer the questions.
1. Define gerrymandering.
2. Explain how the term gerrymandering came into use.
3. Divide State X below into three districts. Use three colors to divide it in a way thatmight cause more Democrats to be elected. Explain why more Democrats would
be elected to the State X senate based on your gerrymandering.
Voters in State X
x = 100 Republican Voters
= 100 Democratic Voters = 100 Independent Voters
4. Critical Thinking Requiring districts to have equal populations makes gerryman-dering more difficult. Suppose you wanted to write a law that would make it even
more difficult. What law could you suggest?
DIRECTIONS: Researching Conduct research to find other words, phrases, or terms made from peoples names.
Define each word or phrase you find. Identify the name from which it wasmade. Then explain the connection with the person whose name was used.Combine your words and their explanations with those of your classmates.List them in alphabetical order to create a Whats in a Name directory.

Water WheelingWaterwheels change the energy of falling water into mechanical energy that
can be used for running machinery. Try to create a waterwheel to see howpeople harnessed the power of water.
BACKGROUNDWaterwheels once turned heavy millstones that ground grain into flour. The
turning mill wheel, through a series of gears, turned two large, flat stones thatcrushed the grain between them. The rotation pushed the flour to the edges.Waterwheels also provided power for blacksmiths, paper makers, andlumberyards.
In Europe water-wheels first appearedin early medieval times.In the mid-1800s, morethan 20,000 mills pow-ered by waterwheelsoperated in Englandalone.

WHAT TO DOA. Nest the two plates together and
punch a hole through the center ofboth plates. Then use rubber cementto glue the plates together, bottom tobottom. Spread cement on one end ofeach spool, and glue one spool on eachplate, aligning the holes in the plateswith the holes in the spools. Push thelarge nail all the way through the holeswhile the cement dries (about 12 hour.)(See diagram 1) While you wait forthe cement to dry, build a stand forthe waterwheel. (See diagram 4)
B. Hold one of the yardsticks uprightagainst the outside of the rock-filledcoffee can and secure with 6 rubberbands. Repeat with the other yardstickand filled coffee can. Then place thecans on opposite sides of the dishpan.
C. Drill a 18 hole through each yardstick,about 7 above the top of the dishpan.
D. Straighten a wire coat hanger anduse the pliers to cut a length of wire 2 longer than the distance betweenthe two yardsticks.
E. When the cement has dried on theplates, tape each cup to the rim of thejoined plates with two 8 strips ofmasking tape, about 12 apart. Adjustslightly for even spacing. Remove thenail from the holes in the spools andplates. (See diagram 2)
F. Bend up 12 at one end of the the coathanger wire with the pliers. Insert thestraight end of the wire through theholes in the yardstick, the water-wheel, and then the other yardstick.Then bend up about 12 of the straightend to secure the waterwheel. (Seediagram 3)
G. Fill the pitcher with water. Slowly pourthe water over the waterwheel so thatwater fills each of the cups to make thewheel rotate. (See diagram 4)
A C T I V I T Y R E P O R T
Answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper.1. Which part of the wheel should the water be pointed at? Why? 2. How could you make your waterwheel spin faster? Slower? 3. On a separate sheet of paper, draw a diagram with labels to explain how a
waterwheel works. Why do you think waterwheels are rarely used today?

The Louisiana Purchase
SITUATIONIn 1762 France surrendered Louisiana to Spain, but by the secret treaty of
San Ildefonso in 1800, the French regained the area. Napoleon Bonaparteenvisioned a great French empire in the New World, and he hoped to use the Mississippi River valley as a food and trade center to supply the island ofSaint Domingue, which was to be the heart of this empire. Recently there hasbeen a successful slave rebellion on Saint Domingue. Napoleon realizes thatthe island must be abandoned. Moreover, he needs funds to support his mili-tary ventures in Europe. He has offered to sell Louisiana to the United States.
President Thomas Jefferson is jubilant. At one stroke the United States candouble its size, an enormous tract of land can be opened to new settlement,and the free navigation of the Mississippi River can be assured.
PROBLEMThe United States Constitution does not specifically empower the federal
government to acquire new territory by treaty. President Jefferson has askedhis advisers to present arguments for and against the purchase of theLouisiana Territory.

SOCIAL STUDIES OBJECTIVE: Analyze information by identifying cause-and-effect relationships
LEARNING THE SKILLWhen determining cause and effect, look for an event (the cause) that
makes something else happen (the effect). For example, when theAmerican colonists won the Revolutionary War, the British lost a largepart of their landholdings in North America. The loss of the war was thecause that resulted in the effect of the loss of large British landholdings onthe continent.
APPLYING THE SKILLDIRECTIONS: Read each passage and fill in both the cause and the effect onthe lines below it.1. Americans had long feared strong governments. They had fought a revolution to
throw off one and did not want to replace it with another. Some people thoughtthe new Constitution needed to include specific statements guaranteeing personalliberties. In December 1791, ten amendments protecting essential rights wereadded to the Constitution. They became known as the Bill of Rights.
Cause Effect
______________________________ ______________________________
______________________________ ______________________________
2. In 1790 Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton proposed that the new gov-ernment pay off the millions of dollars of debt owed by the states to other nationsand individuals. Southern states opposed this plan because they owed much lessmoney than Northern states did. To win support for this plan with Southernstates, Hamilton agreed to support a proposal from Virginia and Maryland tolocate the new national capital in the South.
Cause Effect
______________________________ ______________________________
______________________________ ______________________________
3. Britain and France went to war in 1793. President Washington hoped that theUnited States would remain neutral and issued the Proclamation of Neutrality.But several hundred Americans volunteered to serve on French ships thatseized British vessels and stole their cargoes. The outraged British then seizedAmerican merchant ships trading with the French and forced their crews intothe British navy.

GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY ACTIVITY 8
DIRECTIONS: Write your answers to questions 16 on the map. You mayabbreviate if you wish.1. Location In the early years of the republic, the United States had con-
flicts with two northern European countries. Color each country a dif-ferent color and write the countrys name in the correct location.
2. Label the capital cities of the two countries you identified on the map.
What is the approximate distance between these two cities? 3. Write the names of the two other important European capital cities
whose locations are shown by dots on the map. Identify the countriesin which they are found.
4. Draw a line between New York and the capital of the European islandcountry you labeled earlier. Use the map scale to estimate the distancebetween the two cities. If a sailing ship traveled 100 miles (160 kilome-ters) a day, about how many days would it have taken to travelbetween the two cities?
distance = ; travel time = 5. Another European country made important settlements in and around
New York City in the early colonial years. Draw a circle around thiscountry and write the letters AC (for American colonies) within the circle.

The City of Washington, D.C.
Major Pierre-CharlesLEnfant was a well-known French engineer
and architect when President GeorgeWashington appointed him to designthe United States capital in 1791. Hesurged ahead with an ambitious planthat included grand plazas, publicsquares, and parks connected by wideboulevards. LEnfant, aided by AfricanAmerican Benjamin Banneker and oth-ers, did much of this work withoutauthorization from hissuperiors. By 1792President Washingtondismissed him.LEnfants planswere set aside.
In 1901 theMcMillan ParkCommissionrevivedLEnfants plans.Washingtonsstreets are laid outlike the spokes ofwheels. The WhiteHouse is at the center ofone wheel; the Capitol isat the center of the other.
Life has changed sinceLEnfant designed a cityin the wilderness more
than 200 years ago. Hundreds of thou-sands of people live in the area. In 1800about 3,000 people lived in Washington,D.C.; today it is home to more than600,000 people. Every year thousands ofpeople visit the capital. To many, the cityis a monument to the ability ofAmericans to govern themselves.
Instead ofhorses, peoplenow ride intrains, cars,planes, and sub-ways. With thedevelopment ofthe automobile,
highways andexpresswayswere built to
handle themassive
amount of trafficto, from, and through
the nations capital. In 1976the capitals subway system
began service. One of the Metrostations is LEnfant Plaza.

While some on rights, and some on wrongs,Prefer their own reflections,
The peoples right demands our songsThe right of free elections.
For government and orders sake,And laws important sections,
We should support, and pleasure takeIn frequent free elections.
Our agricultural interest, marts,And mercantile connections,
With manufactures, science, arts,Must thrive by free elections.
To thwart the schemes of factious bands,Who for us plan subjections,
The cause of liberty demandsOur votes at all elections.
Should enemies beset us round,Of foreign, fierce complexions;
Undaunted we will stand our ground,Upheld by free elections.
Well never from our duty swerve,Let who will make objections;
But while we live, unchanged preserveThe freedom of elections.

What is an American?In the late 1700s St. Jean de Crvecoeur, a Frenchman who had lived for
many years in the United States, published essays about being an American.Read these excerpts from his essay What Is an American?
DIRECTIONS: Analyzing Primary Sources Write one or more sentences toexplain what St. Jean de Crvecoeur states or suggests about each topiclisted below.
1. Government in the United States
2. Land in the United States
3. Work in the United States
4. Ethnic Backgrounds of Americans
5. The Injustices Left Behind in Europe
6. The Duration of Freedom in the United States
DIRECTIONS: Writing a Speech Pick one of the topics thatCrvecoeur discusses in his essay. Think about how todays
Americans are similar to or different from those that Crvecoeur described inthe 1700s. Then prepare a short speech for your class in which you define whatan American is today.
. . . We have no princes, for whom we toil, starve, and bleed: we are the most perfectsociety now existing in the world. Here man is free as he ought to be; nor is this pleasingequality so transitory as many others are. Many ages will not see the shores of our greatlakes replenished with inland nations, nor the unknown bounds of North America entirelypeopled. Who can tell how far it extends? Who can tell the millions of men whom it willfeed and contain? . . .
. . . I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whosewife was Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons havenow four wives of different nations. He is an American, who, leaving behind him all hisancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he hasembraced. . . . The American is a new man, who acts upon new principles; he must there-fore entertain new ideas, and form new opinions. From involuntary idleness, servile [lowly]dependence, penury [poverty], and useless labour, he has passed to toils of a very differ-ent nature, rewarded by ample subsistencethis is an American.
