Assertion of federal power over states' rights in the 1819 McCulloch v.Maryland decision Expansion of voting rights during President Andrew Jackson's administration Arguments for self-government asserted in the Declaration of Independence Protection of liberties through the adoption of the Bill of Rights in 1791 3 points
