In this assessment, you will review several events that involved the United States during this period and decide what type of foreign policy each represents. You will need to choose one event that represents isolationism, one event that represents intervention, and one event that represents imperialism. Events: • The United States annexes Hawaii in 1900. • The United States declines to give aid to Hungarian patriots in 1849. • The United States proposes the Open Door Policy in 1899. • The United States annexes Samoa in 1899. • The United States attempts to mediate in the Venezuela-Great Britain dispute in 1895. For each event you will need to write 2 paragraphs (for a total of 6 paragraphs on this assignment): • The first paragraph (at least 5 sentences) should explain details of the event and describe why it represents a specific U. S. foreign policy approach. • The second paragraph (at least 5 sentences) should discuss U. S. motivations for the event.

in the united states, the president is controlled by the

constitution has proved to be a highly malleable document.

with very few exceptions,' the constitutional provisions relating to the president have not been changed at all since

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
