Political Party Activity

On the scrap piece of paperWrite down the following CAPITAL LETTERS for each statement that you agree with for certain issues. Be sure to write your letters in CAPITAL.

Interpretation of the Constitution

I favor a strict interpretation of the

Constitution. The federal government

should be strictly limited in what actions

it can take.

Constitutions should be loosely interpreted; the

reason is that they must necessarily not be

permanent, and that they cannot calculate

for the possible change of things.

BA

The American EconomyThe American economy

should rest on the diligence of the farmer.

The farmer represents all noble republican ideals. I

distrust cities and bankers and put myfaith in the yeoman

farmer.

In order for our nation to be strong

we must be diversified, giant,

manufacturing, urban based, and to be

what we might call 'booming'.

DC

The Central GovernmentI am for a strong

central government. The states alone have

shown disposition towards certain

matters. We need a central government to keep them in line.

I equate federalism with Royalism. I support the

states’ rights theory which asserts that the

federal government has no right to exercise

powers over the states.

FE

War DebtThe states should pay the war

debt to the government independently. States like Maryland, Pennsylvania,

North Carolina, and Virginia, which have already paid off their debts, see no reason

why they should be taxed by the federal government to pay off the debts of other

states

A national debt, if it is not excessive, will be to us a national blessing.“The public necessities must be satisfied; this can only be done bycontributions of the

whole society.”

HG

French RevolutionI support the French

Revolution as they are fighting for the same things we did, Life,

Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

JI

I do not support the French Revolution as

they have to be controlled. The masses

cannot be trusted.

National BankI believe in the need for

banks to provide credit and stimulate the economy. "And

why cannot we have an American bank? I propose a

Bank of the United States with a $10 million capital and

the ability to issue paper money.

LK

I am strongly opposed to the creation of a national bank. If

the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, the banks and corporations that

will grow up around them will deprive the people of all

property until their children will wake up homeless....

The Bill of Rights"A bill of rights is what the

people are entitled to against every government

on earth, general or particular; and what nojust government should

refuse, or rest oninferences.

NM

I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the

sense and in the extent in which they are contended

for, are not only unnecessary in the

proposed constitution, but would

even be dangerous.
