“ [This document] represented the first known time when a working

government was framed completely independently, without a charter or some

other concession from a previously existing regime [ruling power], but by the

people themselves. It provided for regular elections, while setting strict limits on

the power of those elected. In [other colonies], the franchise was limited to

proven church members, "visible saints." [Here], however, voters merely had to

be inhabitants of "honest conversation," according to Perry Miller, though they

could not be Quakers, Jews, or Atheists. Elected officials had to be property

owners, believers in the Trinity, and of good behavior. And the governor had to

be a member in good standing of an approved congregation. Today, these

requirements would seem severe, but in the 17th century such an easygoing

regime was unprecedented.

From Faith and Freedom, by Benjamin Hart

The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries [such as:]

. . . quartering large bodies of armed troops among us . . .

. . . depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury . . .

. . . transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses . . .

. . . [answering] our repeated petitions . . .only by repeated injury.

Penn in the development of self-government in colonial America

Use the excerpt and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following

question.

It is natural for a republic to have only a small territory; otherwise it cannot long subsist.

In an extensive republic there are men of large fortunes, and consequently of less

moderation; there are trusts too considerable to be placed in any single subject; he has

interests of his own; he soon begins to think that he may be happy and glorious, by

oppressing his fellow citizens; and that he may raise himself to grandeur on the ruins of

his country… In an extensive republic the public good is sacrificed to a thousand private

views; it is subordinate to exceptions, and depends on accidents. In a small one, the

interest of the public is more obvious, better understood, and more within the reach of

every citizen; abuses have less extent, and, of course, are less protected.

—Baron de Montesquieu, Spirit of Laws, 1748

a large, national republic would lead to corruption

The above poems both reference which event during the Revolutionary War?

the Winter spent at Valley Forge

Part 5- The Constitution

8.4E- understand significant political and economic issues of the revolutionary era and be

able to analyze the arguments for and against ratification

Use the excerpts and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following questions

If these states should either be wholly disunited, or only united in partial confederacies, a

man must be far gone in Utopian speculations, who can seriously doubt that the

subdivisions into which they might be thrown, would have frequent and violent contests

with each other. To presume a want of motives for such contests, as an argument against

their existence, would be to forget that men are ambitious, vindictive, and rapacious. To

look for a continuation of harmony between a number of independent unconnected

sovereignties, situated in the same neighbourhood, would be to disregard the uniform

course of human events, and to set at defiance the accumulated experience of ages.

—Alexander Hamilton, Federalist #6, 1787

Why does Hamilton argue to ratify the U.S. Constitution?

a constitution would separate power among several branches

a national government would have be a constitutional republic

a constitutional government would protect the rights of the people

independent states would not live peacefully without a national

government

It is natural for a republic to have only a small territory; otherwise it cannot long subsist.

In an extensive republic there are men of large fortunes, and consequently of less

moderation; there are trusts too considerable to be placed in any single subject; he has

interests of his own; he soon begins to think that he may be happy and glorious, by

oppressing his fellow citizens; and that he may raise himself to grandeur on the ruins of

his country… In an extensive republic the public good is sacrificed to a thousand private

views; it is subordinate to exceptions, and depends on accidents. In a small one, the

interest of the public is more obvious, better understood, and more within the reach of

every citizen; abuses have less extent, and, of course, are less protected.

—Baron de Montesquieu, Spirit of Laws, 1748

Why is this excerpt of Montesquieu used by antifederalists to argue against the

ratification of the U.S. Constitution?

a large, national republic would lead to corruption

a small republic can be easily taken over by one person

a national government needs to be led by a chief executive

a republican form of government would protect the common good

In the compound republic of America, the power surrendered by the people is first

divided between two distinct governments, and then the portion allotted to each

subdivided among distinct and separate departments. Hence a double security arises to

the rights of the people. The different governments will control each other, at the same

time that each will be controlled by itself.

—James Madison, Federalist #51, February, 1788

According to the excerpt, why did James Madison support ratification of the

Constitution?

It provided a list of enumerated rights.

8.17A- understand the dynamic nature of the powers of the national government and

state governments in a federal system and be able to analyze the arguments of the

Federalists and Anti-Federalists, including those of Alexander Hamilton, Patrick Henry,

James Madison, and George Mason

Many gentlemen, whom I respect, take different sides of this question. We wish this

amendment to be introduced, to remove our apprehensions. There was a clause in the

Confederation reserving to the states respectively every power, jurisdiction, and right,

not expressly delegated to the United States. This clause has never been complained of,

but approved by all. Why not, then, have a similar clause in this Constitution, in which it

is the more indispensably necessary than in the Confederation, because of the great

augmentation of power vested in the former? In my humble apprehension, unless there

be some such clear and finite expression, this clause now under consideration will go to

any thing our rulers may think proper. Unless there be some express declaration that

every thing not given is retained, it will be carried to any power Congress may please.

—George Mason, speech at the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June, 1788

Why did Mason want to include the amendment he describes in this excerpt?

He feared the national government would take too much power.

He believed individual states should choose delegates to Congress.

He believed Congress should have any power necessary and proper.
