Part II (answer 1 only; worth up to 40 points)- NOTE:  be sure to fully identify who you are in responding to the questions.
 

1) Imagine yourself to be William Paca reacting to the published version of the proposed Constitution of the United States printed first in a Baltimore newspaper in September 1787.  Assume you are elected to a ratifying convention in Annapolis to be held in April of 1788.   You are charged with drawing up some amendments to the Constitution.  Which do you choose and what precedents do you draw from. Why do you think the amendments are necessary? (Hint:  the answers are in Brugger and in the document packet "Writing it All Down.")
 

2) Imagine yourself to Father Andrew White returning to Maryland as a visitor in 1773.   What changes would you see from the days when you were active in the colony?   How has the colony grown?  What is the nature of religious freedom (pay close attention to the year of your visit)?   What do you like about what you see?  What do you find disappointing?  In particular what do you find has happened to all of your good work with the Piscattaway Indians?  Use this opportunity to update and provide a new 'Relation' of Maryland.

3) Imagine yourself to be Francis Nicholson.  Why did you force the General Assembly to read "Doing Good to Posterity," and how does that sermon in any way relate to one of the themes of this course?
 

Part III (answer 1 only; worth up to 10 points)
 

1) identify two of the most important people you have encountered in Maryland history to this point in the course, and explain who they are and what their contributions were
 

2) identify two of the most important events in Maryland history you have read about to this point in the course, and explain their significance.
