After the Constitution was written in Philadelphia, it was up to the states to ratify. Ratification of the Constitution kicked off a heated debate in the states over the merits of the new Constitution. Anti-Federalists were alarmed about the new Constitution while Federalists tried to convince others of it's merits. After reading this week's primary sources (see the assignment), please answer the following questions in three paragraphs (you may also use the reading questions to guide your writing).
1. Anti-Federalist perspective - explain the ideas about government expressed by Mason and Henry as well as their fears about the new Constitution
2. Federalist perspective - how did Madison attempt to persuade others that the new Constitution would be better for the United States?
3. Personal reflection - Do you agree or disagree with the statements made by the Anti-Federalists and Federalists? Which side do you think you would be on in this debate? Why?
Throughout history cultures and religions often rise to prominance and then disappear, only to be remembered by historians. Others emerge and evolve over time. Such is the case of Islam, whose position in the world today is very different from its position in the era described in this chapter.
Why is it important to teach about and understand Islam in America today?

**All three, in their own way, are disturbing viewing**
Using examples from all three videos, analyze here the path of these stories from the initial death of the black victim involved, to the broadcast of the story to the world, to the gathering of millions to demand justice. How has the media involved changed and how has it not changed? How have these unlikely heroes in these stories -- who used the media to broadcast the story changed, and not changed? And lastly, in an age of online activism, consider this: can we all be agents of the amplification of stories of social injustice, following in the footsteps of Till and Nzinga? How can we discover new ways to amplify such stories?

One of the most tired tropes of the history of the civil rights movement is the comparison of the approaches of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X to the scourges of racism and segregation in the 1950s and 1960s. However, the use of the two men's writings is extremely useful in examining social movement strategy in general.
Protests inspired by the murder of George Floyd swept the country in 2020. After reading King's Letter from Birmingham Jail and Malcolm X's Ballot or the Bullet, what elements of each of their approaches do you see in the Floyd protests? Do you see one or the other approach dominating and become ascendant?
How does Stonewall Riots, Mttachine Society and the East Coast Homophile Organization led by Craig Rodwell fit into the broader movement of which it is a part?
In the Emmett Till video, we see how Mamie Till generates media coverage by allowing photographers to take graphic photos of her murdered son. The George Floyd video, in which the world saw a man murdered, was another example of a visual which possessed such power that it launched a movement.
Can you think of an image or symbol which, due to media attention, ignited protests, or movement activity? Is there an example of such an image in the environmental movement? In the women's rights movement?
