Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1) Identify the key participants of the Philadelphia convention and the philosophical ideas that influenced them most. They were certainly an elite group of economic and political notables. They were mostly wealthy planters, successful (or once-successful) lawyers and merchants, and men of independent wealth. Many were college graduates, and most had practical political experience. Most were coastal residents rather than residents of the expanding western frontiers, and a significant number were urbanites rather than part of the primarily rural American population.
2) Acknowledge that the group agreed on questions of (1) human nature, (2) the causes of political conflict, (3) the objects of government, and (4) the nature of a republican government. Give further detail on each of these points of agreement.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Define unfunded mandates.
2, Note that Congress often imposes significant obligations on the states without providing any money enabling the states to comply.
3, Discuss how states dislike being required to do something without being given enough money to accomplish the task.
