Excerpt 2 (Talking about Political
Parties: Federalists vs. Democratic –
Republicans

another....it opens the door to foreign influence and
corruption”
Questions:
1. Does GW think they are good or bad?

Liberty.”

would hurt your freedom or liberty? (Think back to
before the American Revolution
Excerpt 5 (This one’s a little
trickier!)

interests.”
Questions:

country to determine parties?
2. What does he say will happen if we characterize
parties by geographical location?

told that you can not until you’ve
been here 14 years.
Scenario 2
 You are an French immigrant in the US,
and a hard worker at a local iron store. John
Adams finds out that you once talked to
someone who was involved in a plot to
overthrow the government. In order to
protect the country, the President has
deported you without a trial.
Scenario 3
 You are a Republican furious at the laws passed by
the government. You have always been afraid of
the government getting too much power, and these
laws help to prove your point. As the writer of a
local news paper writer in Peabody, you write an
article about the ridiculousness of the Federal
government. A week later you are arrested and put
in jail for 3 years.
