Growth of the National Government
Supreme Court Cases:
Gibbons v Ogden (1824): Marshall’s ruling vastly expanded the powers of Congress through a single clause in the Constitution: the Commerce Clause of Article I, Section 8.

McCulloch v Maryland (1819):
Checking for Understanding

Challenge Question: Predict how will things change if John Adams becomes
president instead of Thomas Jefferson? What if, Jefferson won the first election in 1796?
Objective (I Can…)
Analyze the impact of the Lewis and Clark Expedition by identifying the routes on a map, exploring the events of
their journey.
Recap | George Washington has been elected the first
President of the United States.
| John Adams has been elected the second President of the United States.
| The United States has been functioning rather well for about twenty-five years.
| Thomas Jefferson is now the third President of the United States and buys from Napoleon the Louisiana territory doubling the size of the United States.
Louisiana Purchase
Jefferson wanted to purchase New Orleans and West Florida for 10 million.
Instead, Jefferson purchased 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million dollars.
Going West
| In 1803, shortly after the United States purchased Louisiana, Congress provided money to study the new lands.
| The expedition consisted of a group of U.S. Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend William Clark.
| Their objective was to: { Study the climate, wildlife, and mineral resources of the
land,
{ Find a route across the western half of the continent to the Pacific Ocean (a northwest passage),
{ Learn about the Indian nations who lived in the Louisiana Territory.
Mapping it all out | The geographic detail in maps of the West before 1803 were
very inaccurate. { European geographers had depicted California as an island.
| The Lewis and Clark expedition was literally charting new territory. The land west was blank, and even the best scholars around the world had no idea what lay beyond this region.
| It would prove to be unknown until Lewis and Clark walked the land, charted, mapped, and measured the area, { They described and identified the plants, rivers, mountains, and
people living on this land.
Make a Connection
| If you were asked to join the Lewis and Clark expedition what THREE items would you bring for your two year journey?
ü The items CAN be from this time period (but remember there is no place to charge your cell phone in 1803!).
ü The items must be travel-friendly (something that will fit in a backpack).
| Would the expedition have changed with the items you brought along? How?
Brain Quest | What were the goals of the expedition?
Challenge Question: If you were to join the Corps. Of Discovery what would be your strengths and weaknesses of supporting Lewis and
Clark?
Objective (I Can…) Describe the causes of the War of 1812 by examining the
key reasons and taking notes on those reasons.
Violations of neutrality
| Imagine that you are an American merchant and Congress has just passed the Embargo Act. You realize this act is not in your best interest and you want to petition it.
{ Write a petition asking President Jefferson for a repeal of the Embargo Act. Indicate why you want the Embargo Act repealed and how Americans viewed it.
Conflict in the West | Imagine you are a roving reporter for a newspaper
back in New England, assigned to cover what is happening in the old Northwest Territory in the early 1800s.
{ Write a series of short interviews with Tecumseh, a British agent, and Governor William Henry Harrison. In their interviews, ask the individuals to explain their goals, current activities, and future plans.
{ Work with your group to combine your information into an article about the frontier situation.
Exit slip
| What events led to the call for war against Great Britain?
| Who was Tecumseh, and what did he want to accomplish?
Extended Writing: Close-Out
| Take on the role as a member of Lewis Clark’s Corps of Discovery. Your task is to write a short note home to a friend or family member. In your letter, describe what it was like to be a part of this history making group.
| Give at least 2 specific examples of things, people, or animals you encountered on your journey to the Pacific.
Brain Quest | What events led to the call for war against Great
Britain? | What was the Embargo Act? | Describe what would a war hawk look like?
Challenge Question: If you were a newspaper editor and had to summarize the reasons why the war hawks wanted to go to war and why people didn’t want to go to war, explain these reasoning.
