  7. Inheriting European Policies • Elizabethan Poor Law Act of 1601 • England consolidated laws assigning welfare roles to local parishes • when parishes can’t meet need, counties required to assume responsibility • Gvt thus becomes chief enforcer of poor relief, supplanting the Church of England • (Source: Macionis 8th ed. 2001:11) http://www.bl.uk/whatson/exhibitions/trading/world4.htm l Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603).

  12. Economic Change Prompts WS Change • (Source: Macionis 8th ed. 2001:11) • These problems (work hazards & ages of non-productivity and need for care): • previously perceived as family and community responsibilities. • require protections as substitutes for the family/community goods and services available in simpler times. • Historically varied attempts to satisfy these new needs. • (Source: Macionis 8th ed. 2001:11)

  18. Slave Shipshttp://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/ushisgov/themes/immigration/laws.htm

  19. Slave Trade • Triangular trade system - named because the ships embarked from European ports, stopped in Africa to gather the captives, after which they set out for the New World to deliver their human cargo, and then returned to the port of origin. (like a triangle) • The Middle Passage was that leg of the slave triangle that brought the human cargo from West Africa to North America, South America, and the Caribbean.

  20. Fashioning a New Society in the Wilderness Chapter 3

  21. Now that We’ve established that the Colonists were going to be different, and that they needed to adjust to industrialization, the question was how:The Most Eventful Debate is part of the Federalist Papers..

  22. http://www.pbs.org/jefferson/ http://www.hamiltonlives.com/ Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton The Constitution • The Federalist Papers • Strong Executive Branch • Centralized Gvt • Efficient • Elitist • Strong People • Decentralized • Egalitarian • Democratic Video: Alexander Hamilton takes Jefferson to school http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=notJuFGXQ9w&feature=related

  23. Who Won? • Washington Usually Sided with Hamilton • 1800, Jefferson narrowly defeated Adams for president • Jefferson served 2 terms • With few exceptions all 19th century presidents (1800’s) subscribed to Jefferson’s view of limited government. • ** Strong defense of the federal government’s role in social welfare is relatively recent in America’s history. • If Hamilton and the Federalists had dominated, we might have a very different welfare system, federal centralization might have occurred much earlier than the new deal.

  24. What Happened to Hamilton? http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/duel/ Got Milk Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLSsswr6z9Y http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/duel/peopleevents/pande17.html

  25. This trickled through the following periods… • Explains why Federal Social Security and Means Tested wasn’t enacted until 1935. • Currently moving to reverse this trend, from federal back to the states, will see this with TANF. http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/trade/files/century.pdf
