Quick context and facts
US history is often described as a balance between continuity and change: constitutional principles stayed in place while the country’s territory, economy, and civil rights expanded dramatically. From the Louisiana Purchase to the New Deal to the Civil Rights Act, many turning points reflect debates over federal power, individual liberty, and who is included in “We the People.”
