Teaching about the U.S. Congress by Thomas S. Vontz and Sarah E. Drake March 2001 The United States Congress is a central institution of government in the United States. It is also a central focus in many social studies classrooms. This ERIC Digest treats constitutional foundations of Congress, development of Congress, and World Wide Web resources for teaching about Congress. CONSTITUTIONAL FOUNDATIONS Disagreements about the structure, functions, and powers of Congress were prominent at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Two proposals, the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan, framed debates about Congress. In response to the impotence of Congress under the Articles of Confederation, both plans were designed to increase the power of the national government, including Congress. The Virginia Plan called for a two-house legislature: one to be elected by the people and the other to be chosen by the first house. The plan also called for proportional representation based on the population of each state. Delegates from states with small populations vehemently opposed the Virginia Plan because it diminished their power in Congress relative to the states with large populations. According to the New Jersey Plan, each state would continue to have equal representation in the unicameral Congress of the United States.

News Release Fact Sheets Culturally Specific Mental Health Resources Related Annotated Bibliography ... Other Surgeon General's Reports Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders Approximately 4% of the U.S. population – over 11 million people – identify themselves as Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders (AA/PIs). The AA/PI population is expected to double in the next 25 years. About 54% of AA/PIs live in western States, especially California and Hawaii. 18% live in the Northeast, 17% in the South, and 11% in the Midwest. The AA/PI category is extremely diverse, with about 43 different ethnic subgroups. While the majority of AA/PIs were born outside of the U.S., a large proportion of Chinese and Japanese Americans are 4th and 5th generation Americans. Since the mid-1960s, the AA/PI population has grown rapidly with high rates of immigration from China, India, the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia. Most Pacific Islanders are not immigrants, but are descendants of the original inhabitants of land taken over by the United States – Hawaii, Tonga, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Caroline Islands, and Palau. AA/PIs speak over 100 languages and dialects, and about 35% live in households where there is limited English proficiency in those over age 13. Some subgroups have more limited English proficiency than others: 61% of Hmong-, 56% of Cambodian-, 52% of Laotian-, 44% of Vietnamese-, 41% of Korean-, and 40% of Chinese-American households are linguistically isolated.

The composition of homes and families ranges from extended families to single parent households. Community expectations of appropriate roles for students, teachers, and parents vary with cultural contexts. American Samoa is located in the mid-south Pacific, 2,600 miles from Honolulu.

May 17, 2001 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WASHINGTON, D.C.— FALEOMAVAEGA TO ATTEND DECOLONIZATION SEMINAR IN CUBA Congressman Faleomavaega announced today that he will be participating in a seminar on decolonization sponsored by the United Nations Special Committee of Twenty-four. The Congressman was invited to participate in the seminar by the Honorable Bernard Tanoh-Boutchoue, Acting Chairman of the Special Committee. The seminar is being held in Havana, Cuba, on May 23 to 25, 2001. “I am very appreciative of the invitation to participate in this U.N. seminar,” said Faleomavaega. “For too many years American Samoa and other U.S. territories have been used to score political points against the United States when the real issue has nothing to do with territorial governance. I am pleased to have the opportunity to convey in no uncertain terms our support of the United States and the inaccuracy of referring to the U.S. territories as ‘colonies’”. In a letter to Governor Tauese concerning the U.N. seminar, the Congressman noted, “Over the years, the United States has always been severely criticized by certain members of this Special Committee for continuing a policy of suppression and denying our people the right to greater self-government and to adhere to the principles of self-determination. You and I know that such allegations are not true, but it is part of the political arena within the United Nations, and it is for this reason that our State Department has even refused in the years past to even participate in such seminars and meetings.”

Hunte, and the members of the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization (C-24) for the formal invitation extended to me to participate in this session of the Special Committee. My compliments also go to the leaders and the Government of Cuba for their hospitality in hosting these meetings. I am honored to join the Governor of American Samoa, the Honorable Tauese Sunia, our President of the Senate, High Chief Lutu Fuimaono and Speaker of the House, High Chief Matagi Mailo McMoore, whom I believe will also submit statements for the record. Due to time constraints, I will just present an overview of my statement, with the full text to be made part of the record. In reviewing the history of the United Nations, it is clear that this institution has played an important and indispensable role in helping to eradicate colonialism throughout the world. Since the inception of the United Nations in 1945, over 748 million people have thrown off the brutal yoke of colonialism. Today, 80 former colonies have become independent, sovereign countries, which now constitute two-thirds of the Member States of the U.N. This progress has been facilitated by the U.N. Trusteeship Council and the work of the U.N. Special Committee on Decolonization, the C-24.
