After reading Articles I, II, and III of the U.S. Constitution, in what ways might you argue that the Constitution was written to form a weak or strong central government? Provide three specific examples to support your position.
- Identify specific examples in the language of the text to support your position.
- Examine some of the arguments used by the framers of the Constitution while debating the language of the document.
- Include any philosophical underpinning that might have influenced the thinking of the framers of the Constitution.
