Article I is the longest article in the Constitution; it establishes the national legislature called Congress. The Founders divided Congress into a Senate and a House of Representatives because they were afraid of placing too much authority in any one institution. Among other powers, Congress collects taxes, provides for the common defense (meaning that the federal government, not just the states, provides resources for the protection and security of the United States), regulates commerce, raises armies, and declares war. In addition, Article I contains the “necessary and proper clause,” which authorizes Congress to pass any law that it thinks is necessary to carry out its constitutional duties. This provision is very important because it allows Congress to react to situations that may not have existed when the Constitution was written.
Article II establishes an executive department headed by a president and vice president. The article further describes the powers of the offices, the manner of election, and the qualifications for office. Of special significance is the president's constitutional role as commander of the nation's armed forces, which assures civilian control over the military. Because the president is the head of the armed forces and only Congress can declare war, the authority of the military is diffused and its power to make decisions is restrained. The Constitution also grants the president the authority to make treaties with other nations. However, to limit abuse of this power, the Constitution requires treaties to be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate.
Article III directs that the federal judicial power be placed in a Supreme Court and in other courts as directed by Congress. This brief article also lists the kinds of cases that fall specifically under the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
<span>You should not have to site it formally. If you are quoting something it says directly, just put the quote in quotation marks and state where the quote came from. Examples:
No author marker:
The such and such plaque says, "Something worthy of putting in your paper goes here."
Marker or plaque with an author:
On the historical marker at such and such place, John Doe states, "Something that your reader needs to know goes here."
Marker or plaque that quotes a famous figure:
Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying, "Something poignant or thought provoking goes here," on the such and such plaque.
If you are paraphrasing the same rule basically applies. For example:
According to the such and such marker, something very interesting and relevant to your paper would go here.
There is no need to do a formal APA or MLA citation with the quote or include it in your reference page.</span>
