New plan of government set up by the Second Continental Congress

Gives the federal government the power to declare war, make peace, sign treaties, borrow money, set coin standards, establish a postal service.

Weaknesses: Can’t tax, each state gets 1 vote no matter how many people, 9/13 states must agree on important laws, must be unanimous for amendment, no executive or federal legislative branches, 13 separate states and no unity.

Articles of Confederation

A bunch of angry farmers get together to protest rising taxes in their state.

The federal government has no power to help them in getting fair taxes, or to stop their rebellion when it turns violent.

This event shows that The Articles of Confederation gave too little power to the national government because they were so afraid it would turn into a monarchy.

Shay’s Rebellion

Page 41: Section 1: Colonial Resistance and Rebellion.  Four wars with France in 100 years=MASSIVE DEBT.  What to do about this debt? How do countries raise

America gets a chance to peacefully come up with a better system of government, but everyone has different ideas.

Two main ideas are the Virginia Plan (calls for 2 house legislature based on population) and the New Jersey Plan (calls for 1 house legislature based on equal vote).

Great Compromise proposed which calls for two house legislature with one house based on population and other on equal vote.

Redo

Page 42: Section 1: Colonial Resistance and Rebellion.  Four wars with France in 100 years=MASSIVE DEBT.  What to do about this debt? How do countries raise

If representation is based on population in one house who should be counted in the population (slaves?)

North says slaves should not be counted because the South has so many it would give them more power. South suddenly decides in this debate alone that slaves are people not property and therefore should be counted in the population even if they are not represented in government.

New problem

3/5 slave compromise

Page 44: Section 1: Colonial Resistance and Rebellion.  Four wars with France in 100 years=MASSIVE DEBT.  What to do about this debt? How do countries raise

To make both the North and the South happy the Three-Fifths Compromise is proposed which says that 3/5 of the slave population of every state will count towards the number of representatives that state gets in the House.

Another Compromise

Page 45: Section 1: Colonial Resistance and Rebellion.  Four wars with France in 100 years=MASSIVE DEBT.  What to do about this debt? How do countries raise

The new Constitution calls for 3 branches of government (executive, judicial, legislative) and a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch from dominating the other two. (Like what happened in England)

In order to adopt the new Constitution as the law of the land and get rid of the Articles of Confederation 9 out of 13 states need to ratify the document or agree to it.

Ratification

Page 47: Section 1: Colonial Resistance and Rebellion.  Four wars with France in 100 years=MASSIVE DEBT.  What to do about this debt? How do countries raise

Federalists want to ratify the Constitution because it is better than Articles of Confederation

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay publish The Federalist to convince others.

Anti-Federalists do not want to ratify the Constitution because it does not include a Bill of Rights.

Patrick Henry, George Mason and Richard Henry Lee publish Letters from a Federal Farmer to convince others.

To Ratify or Not to Ratify

Page 48: Section 1: Colonial Resistance and Rebellion.  Four wars with France in 100 years=MASSIVE DEBT.  What to do about this debt? How do countries raise

Federalists agree to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution so the Anti-Federalists will agree to ratify it.

Bill of Rights guarantee individual rights like freedom of religion, speech, press, political activity, rights to the accused, and rights to limit the federal government’s power.

Our founding fathers realized they could not predict the future so they built in a way to change the Constitution to meet the changing needs of society.

Ours is the oldest Constitution because we allow for change when needed which makes it a living document.

In 200 years, there have only been 27 amendements.

Washington’s second term is up and he refuses to run for another.

Several people run including the former vice president John Adams against one of his closest friends (Thomas Jefferson)

They are from different parties. John Adams wins, Jefferson is runner up so President and Vice are in opposite parties which makes for inefficient government.

U.S. Representatives go to talk with French foreign minister (Talleyrand) about French angry with Jay’s Treaty seizing our ships.

These two states are the only ones gutsy enough to tell the federal government that what they are doing is unconstitutional and they refuse to obey the unconstitutional law.

This new idea is called nullification, where states can disregard new laws if they feel they go against the constitution
