What were some of the difficulties surrounding drafting and ratification of the Constitution?
What events on the ground and internationally influenced the creation of the Constitution? And
Were the political positions that emerged in response to designing an American government? I just need a few citations from this PowerPoint.

How revolutionary was the American Revolution? What Are the arguments both in favor and
against its revolutionary nature and what are the events happening both in America and in the
world which supports these arguments? I need citations from this power point.

How was the meaning of “freedom” being defined in the U.S. in the late 1800s? What does freedom mean to people in that time period and who is excluded from this definition of freedom and why? Please provide details, at least one example and historical analysis to support your argument. Your essay should be 1-2 pages.

Students will submit a single phrase or sentence to select a topic for their final historiographic paper. Topic choice followed by opening presentation of topic selected. Give ample time in the next few days to determine your historiography paper topic. This can be quite time consuming, so best to start early. Reminder that a historiography paper focuses on INTERPRETATIONS of historical events/persons/eras. Your focus will be on what HISTORIANS THEMSELVES have said about the past, not on the past itself. For instance, say you chose to write about the crusades, you would not write about the crusades but rather what, why, and how historians have said about the crusades. (That is just an example I don’t want the paper to be about the crusades) You can pick any historical topic you’d like, I plan on hiring you for all the papers and assignments in this course so please don’t take the paper on if you can’t work with me over the next 8 weeks. I will award a end of course tip bonus if the class is completed with an A. Just a simple statement at this point about what you want to research. it can be any topic as long as your approach is historiographical, meaning you are studying historical interpretations of events and persons and not the events or persons themselves. I will upload some lectures from this week regarding histography. No AI or chat GTP everything will be checked via turn it in.

The Capstone paper for MOL670 is a comprehensive leadership development plan designed by the learner. This
document integrates concepts not only from MOL670 but from courses across the MOL program. This paper is
designed to allow the learner to demonstrate:
• Mastery of the concepts learned in the MOL program,
• The ability to critically analyze situations using those concepts,
• The ability to synthesize and apply the concepts,
• The ability to perform graduate level research,
• The ability to integrate a biblical worldview into the topic of leadership, and
• The ability to communicate in a professional and proficient manner expected of a graduate learner.
The Capstone paper is a high-stakes, comprehensive exercise that assesses the learner’s ability to demonstrate a
master’s degree level of the abilities and knowledge noted above. In addition to earning the total number of points
necessary to pass the course, the learner must earn on the capstone paper a score equal to 80% of the points available
for the Capstone paper. If a learner does not submit a Capstone paper that does not grade at the 80% level, a grade
no higher than a C will be recorded. The learner will be allowed one resubmission of the Capstone paper within 30
days after the end of the course to improve upon the grade of C for the course.

degree research and writing proficiency, and if the sources used adequately support the LDP. As a guide,
the typical leadership development plan will have eight or more references, though.
• The biblical worldview integration will constitute at least 1,000 words and will demonstrate graduate level
critical thinking and analysis

In your initial post, between 800 & 1000 words (worth 10 points):
Talk about ONE thing in EACH chapter that you found interesting and or surprising? I will provide you with one thing from each chapter. Be specific. Think about how what you talk about is connected to the historical time period. In other words, what else was going on and why is that important to what you are discussing? Be sure to include what the event, document, person, etc. is. Where did this take place? When? What else was going on?
What did you take from all this and why do you think it is important to U.S. history?
Use quotes from Foner and or the power point to support your discussion.
Focus your discussion. Re-read it before you post so that you know that you are saying what you want to.
How to get a good grade on this assignment:
Use specific examples from the textbook or power point
Be specific. Refer to things by their name, event, or a document, such as a law or contract, so we know what you are talking about. Tell us why you found it interesting or why it surprised you. In your response posts, pay attention to what your classmate is talking about and include examples. Say more than, “Good post, I agree with you.” That might be a good start but response posts are a good place to expand on ideas or thoughts you and your classmates have made———- After your initial post, respond to at least TWO of your classmates. (worth 10 points). I will provide you with my classmates post afterwards very shortly.

The Term Mesoamerican Art refers to the land which encompasses modern day Mexico and Central America. The terms Indigenous Art or Native American art most often refer to art made in the land which encompasses the contemporary United States and Canada. Some Native Peoples of the North American continent called this land “Turtle Island”.
The amount of art produced on Turtle Island was prodigious and represented an astonishing diversity of peoples and cultures. Giant cities and huge population centers like Tenochtitlán, Chaco Canyon, and Mesa Verde were places where a variety of different arts thrived. This assignment asks you to find and describe a work of art from any time period made by either ancient or contemporary artists indigenous to Turtle Island. DIRECTIONS:
This assignment asks you to select and identify a work of art from ancient or contemporary Mesoamerica or Native America. Please label the work of art in the traditional art historical format and describe it:
1. Artist (if the artist is known, list as anonymous and if possible, list the culture that produced the object))
2. Title
3. Date
4. Material
5. Current Location (either in a museum, or a geographical place)
6. Provide a short description (in your own words) of the visual, cultural and or/architectural elements of the artwork/monument.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF MINE:
1. Anasazi Pueblo Peoples
2. Spruce Tree House
3. 1211-1278 ACE
4. Sandstone
5. Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado
6. The Cliff Dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado are evidence of the complex and vast architecture of ancient indigenous peoples in the Americas. Within the park, multiple cliff dwellings carved withing the rocky walls of the canyons surrounding the mesa. Structures are most commonly made out of sandstone, and some buildings are two and three stories tall. In the pre-Columbian period Mesa Verde was home to over 35,000 people, more than live in the region today. It was a distinct but related population center functioning in spiritual and economic connection with nearby population and trading center in Chaco Canyon. The cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde are some of the most extensive records of indigenous urbanism in the Americas.

Iconography is one of the techniques of art history which studies the content of images and systems of representation used by artist to convey a particular meaning. Some folks might use the term “symbolism” to connote a similar meaning to iconography. One system of imagery is Greek Iconography, where the goddess Athena is represented by an owl, and the goddess Aphrodite with a seashell and/or pearl. The former represents Athena’s widsom, while the latter represents Aphrodite’s beauty.
DIRECTIONS:
Choose either the monumental CoatlicueLinks to an external site. sculpture or The Aztec Sunstone (Calendar Stone)Links to an external site. and discuss three elements of the iconography of either object in a short essay of 100+ words.
