Congress is the building.

Article IV. Relationships between states and the federal government.

Why is it important that every state have a republican form of government?
Because the citizens have a say in the form of government and that way they won’t rebel
to a monarchy. It is like a federalist government but not a monarchy.

How did the constitution treat runaway slaves?

The treatment that the slaves received greatly degraded them. Slaves were considered to
have no more rights or the right to run away than a horse or mule. They were given 50$
rewards for found slaves, some people said a 5$ dollar advance if killed in any way.

Why is it important that citizens in one state have the rights of citizenship in all other
states?
So no one wants to move to another state, and everyone is equal. The United States is
supposed to be “equal” to all so if one state has something, its only fair that all other
states have that.

What does full faith and credit mean?

Full faith and credit shall be given in each of these states to the records, acts, and judicial
proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State. Article Four Section One

Article V
What are two ways amendments to the constitution may be proposed?
A)By Congress
B) By a convention called congress for that purpose.

What are two ways amendments to the constitution ay be ratified?

By 3/4ths of the state
A) by the legislature of the states, acting as the representative of the people (state
legislative)
B)By conventions held in each state for the purpose.

How does the phrase supreme law of the land define power relationships between federal
and state governments?
The supreme law of the land is the United States Constitution.

Why did the founding fathers make the amending process so difficult?
Because you can mend the constitution but you cannot change or rewrite it. And it makes
it harder to mess up the constitution for those who plan to add more to mess up our
government. We wouldn’t change laws all the time. Rules for the entire country, force
time in the laws so it is perfect before we make it a law. To make the fairest law possible
for everyone.
