3.) If a person were opposed to the Bank of the United States, would that person most likely favor a strong federal government or strong states’ rights?
4.) How would Samuel Worcester have felt about the ultimate outcome of his legal battle?

5.) What did Robert Fulton invent, and how did it impact the farmers and merchants of the western United States?
6.) How were the Lancaster Turnpike and the National Road very different?
7.) What was the impact of the Indian Removal Act and the Worcester v. Georgia Supreme Court Decision on Native American tribes such as the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Seminoles?
