Unit 3 is packed with cause-and-effect traps. Students often know the Stamp Act, Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constitution, and Election of 1800 as separate facts, but struggle to explain how they connect. These flashcards are built to help students move from memorizing events to understanding argument patterns: imperial crisis to revolution, war to government weakness, weakness to Constitution, and party conflict to the peaceful transfer of power.
