Prezi link. What should I do with the foreign policy and marshall court handouts?

Prezi Link

Foreign Policy Handout: after completing the handout do the following:

  1. Label which events are positive and which are negative.
  2. Make list of any trends you see emerge regarding American foreign policy after the first 35 years as a republic. 
  3. Is American foreign policy (at this time) rooted in national interest or morality? Explain. 

Marshall Court - after using chapter 12/14 to complete the handout, do the following task:
  1. "Marshall defined the role of the supreme court, extended power of national government, and confirmed the intentions of the Federalists in drafting the Constitution." Assess the validity of this statement using at least 2 examples from past Marshall Court decisions. For each example provide strong interpretative commentary as to how or why this court case supports your thesis. 
*hint: assess the validity means you need to be explicit as to whether or not you support this statement or not BEFORE you start discussing court decisions! 

Both assignments need to be completed by end of class on Tuesday. (Note: you will also have ch. 15 reading questions in class on Tuesday, so manage your time appropriately!)
