  • 1 the Story of the Faulkner Murals by Lester S. Gorelic, Ph.D. the Story Of
    The Story of the Faulkner Murals By Lester S. Gorelic, Ph.D. The story of the Faulkner murals in the Rotunda begins on October 23, 1933. On this date, the chief architect of the National Archives, John Russell Pope, recommended the approval of a two- year competing United States Government contract to hire a noted American muralist, Barry Faulkner, to paint a mural for the Exhibit Hall in the planned National Archives Building.1 The recommendation initiated a three-year project that produced two murals, now viewed and admired by more than a million people annually who make the pilgrimage to the National Archives in Washington, DC, to view two of the Charters of Freedom documents they commemorate: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. The two-year contract provided $36,000 in costs plus $6,000 for incidental expenses.* The contract ended one year before the projected date for completion of the Archives Building’s construction, providing Faulkner with an additional year to complete the project. The contract’s only guidance of an artistic nature specified that “The work shall be in character with and appropriate to the particular design of this building.” Pope served as the contract supervisor. Louis Simon, the supervising architect for the Treasury Department, was brought in as the government representative. All work on the murals needed approval by both architects. Also, The United States Commission of Fine Arts served in an advisory capacity to the project and provided input critical to the final composition. The contract team had expertise in art, architecture, painting, and sculpture.

The Characters Behind the Constitution Tim Slover* I would like to draw for you today a quick sketch of the 55 men who deliberated our future as a nation, and single out a few for fuller portraits. Eight of the 55 men who deliberated our political present had signed the Declaration of Independence eleven years earlier in the same room, Independence Hall, in which they now met. And one, John Dickinson of Delaware, had refused to sign the Declaration. Six of the delegates had signed the Articles of Confederation which were then governing America and which were about to be abolished by the present convention. Fifty-two of the 55 had served in Congress. We need to think of that fact when we hear-not ourselves, of course, but others, disparage the institution of Congress. Among the many great men which that body produced was James Madison, the father of the Constitution.Seven had been governors of their states.

  • Richard Henry Lee on the Constitution
    11 080-089 Founders Lee 7/17/04 10:34 AM Page 88 Handout C IN HIS OWN WORDS: RICHARD HENRY LEE ON THE CONSTITUTION Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republican Note: The Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republican was a series of newspaper essays published anonymously in Virginia in 1787–1788 by an opponent of the Constitution. Some historians have claimed that Richard Henry Lee was the author of these letters, though this is still a matter of much debate. Nevertheless, the views of the Federal Farmer mirror Lee’s own quite closely. Directions: Consider whether each excerpt is (1) a statement of Lee’s principles, or (2) a criticism of the proposed Constitution. Mark each excerpt with “principle” or “criticism” accordingly. A The plan of government now proposed is evidently calculated totally to change, in time, our condition as a people. Instead of being thirteen republics, under a federal head, it is clearly designed to make us one consolidated government. B The essential parts of a free and good government are a full and equal representation of the people in the legislature, and the jury trial of the vicinage in the administration of justice. C There are certain inalienable and fundamental rights, which in forming the social compact, ought to be explicitly ascertained and fixed....These rights should be made the basis of every constitution. D A wise and honest administration can make the people happy under any government; but necessity only can justify even our leaving open avenues to the abuse of power, by wicked, unthinking, or ambitious men.

In 1761, fifteen years before the United States of America burst onto the world stage with the Declaration of Independence, the American colonists were loyal British subjects who celebrated the coronation of their new King, George III. The colonies that stretched from present- day Maine to Georgia were distinctly English in character although they had been settled by Scots, Welsh, Irish, Dutch, Swedes, Finns, Africans, French, Germans, and Swiss, as well as English. As English men and women, the American colonists were heirs to the A Proclamation by the King for thirteenth-century English document, the Magna Carta, which Suppressing Rebellion and Sedition, established the principles that no one is above the law (not even the August 23, 1775 learn more... King), and that no one can take away certain rights. So in 1763, when the King began to assert his authority over the colonies to make them share the cost of the Seven Years' War England had just fought and won, the English colonists protested by invoking their rights as free men and loyal subjects.

  • Biographical Profile John Dickinson: the Slave Holder the Institution Of
    “John Dickinson: A Great Worthy of the Revolution” Biographical Profile John Dickinson: The Slave Holder The institution of slavery was well ensconced in Delaware by the time John Dickinson became a slave owner. At one time, he owned as many as 37 slaves. He used his slaves in a manner typical to the type of agriculture that was prominent in Delaware in the second half of the 1700s. John, who owned property in Pennsylvania and Delaware, divided his slaves among the properties that needed labor. Work performed by slaves on Dickinson’s properties included cropping, mending fences and buildings, ditching, and odd jobs. When Samuel Dickinson died, he left slaves to John in his will. With the help of slave labor, John continued to administer the properties he also inherited. As time passed, he began to make transactions with slaves to fulfill different obligations. He purchased slaves from his brother to keep some families together. When asked, he purchased a slave to keep her from being sold out of state. He provided specific directions concerning the handling and upkeep of his valuable investment. Even when slaves were treated well, in the sense that they are clothed, fed and housed properly, it did not mean they were happy or content. When a human being is denied rights, it is an unbearable situation. Furthermore, even though John Dickinson did not condone the beating of slaves to keep them malleable, many other masters did. There were often instances when slaves were severely beaten. The frequency of runaway slave notices in newspapers reveals the fact that they were not happy with their lot.

George Washington Originally published in Daved Claypole's American Daily Advertiser on September 19, 1796, under the title "The Address of General Washington To The People of The United States on his declining of the Presidency of the United States," the letter was almost immediately reprinted in newspapers across the country and later in a pamphlet form.[2] The work was later named a "Farewell Address," as it was Washington's valedictory after 20 years of service to the new nation. It is a classic statement of republicanism, warning Americans of the political dangers they can and must avoid if they are to remain true to their values. The first draft was originally prepared in 1792 with the assistance of James Madison,[3] as Washington prepared to retire following a single term in office.

    Resources for Teachers John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence CONVERSATION STARTERS • What is happening with the Declaration of Independence in this painting? o The Committee of Five is presenting their draft to the President of the Continental Congress, John Hancock. • Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson apparently told John Trumbull that, if portraits couldn’t be painted from life or copied from other portraits, it would be better to leave delegates out of the scene than to poorly represent them. Do you agree? o Trumbull captured 37 portraits from life (which means that he met and painted the person). When he started sketching with Jefferson in 1786, 12 signers of the Declaration had already died. By the time he finished in 1818, only 5 signers were still living. • If you were President James Madison, and you wanted four monumental paintings depicting major moments in the American Revolution, which moments would you choose? o Madison and Trumbull chose the surrender of General Burgoyne at Saratoga, the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, the Declaration of Independence, and the resignation of Washington.

    Horizons Unlimited By LEON DEVALINGER, JR.* Delaware Public Archives Commission Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/27/1/3/2744566/aarc_27_1_b102h2w1j8634618.pdf by guest on 24 September 2021 NE of the founders of our Country and one of Delaware's great statesmen was John Dickinson, known as the "Penman O of the Revolution." He wrote all of the important docu- ments of the Continental Congress prior to the Declaration of In- dependence. Later he was to draft the Articles of Confederation, preside as chairman of the Annapolis Convention, and serve with the Delaware delegation to the Federal Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. His chief contribution to the great document that emanated from that historic meeting was the provision that each State should have two members in the Senate, in order to protect the rights of the smaller States. It was not an accident that Delaware on December 7, 1787, was the first to ratify the new Federal Constitution. Dickinson and the other members of the Delaware delegation, who were the same ones attending the Annapolis Convention, had thoroughly informed the citizens of our State regarding the advantages of this frame of government. In some other States there was an alarming hesitation to ratify this new Constitution. Dickinson had fired the imagina- tion of the American colonists and helped solidify their thinking in opposition to the Stamp Act of 1767 in a series of letters signed "A Farmer." Using the same technique, he wrote in 1788, under the name "Fabius," a series of nine letters urging the speedy ratifica- tion of the new Constitution.
