  6. AFTER THE REVOLUTION… • ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION • SHAY’S REBELLION • CONSTITUTION • CONVENTION • COMPROMISES • RATIFICATION • BILL OF RIGHTS D. INFLUENCES

  7. A. ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION While Jefferson was writing the Declaration of Independence, John Dickinson drafted the first constitution for the United States— THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. 1/11

  8. Under the articles: Central government had one body = CONGRESS Each state = 1vote unanimous vote required to amend the articles. Had the power to: Wage war, make treaties, send diplomats, and borrow money Could not: Tax or regulate trade 2/11

  9. Despite their weaknesses, they managed to: • Win the war • Establish a policy for western lands (Land Ordinance of 1785) • Set laws for creating new states (Northwest Ordinance of 1787) 3/11

  10. Problems with boundaries No power to tax, raise money Quarreling among states No respect from other countries Weak (no) executive Shays’ rebellion 4/11

  11. B. SHAYS’ REBELLION SHAYS’ REBELLION (rude awakening) The rebellion of farmers in 1787 provided the elite society with a “wake up call” about the need for a stronger central government… 5/11

  12. THE CONSTITUTION • 1. CONVENTION The Articles of Confederation stayed in place from 1781-1787… A convention was called with the “sole and express purpose” to revise the Articles of Confederation. 6/11

  13. THE CONSTITUTION • 2. COMPROMISES GREAT COMPROMISE(REPRESENTATION) • TWO HOUSES (BICAMERAL LEGISLATURE): • -SENATE(equal representation) • -HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (population) House of Representatives Senate 7/11

  15. 3 BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT: EXECUTIVE LEGISLATIVE JUDICIAL CHECKS AND BALANCES 9/11

  16. 9 OF 13 STATES NEED FOR RATIFICATION Federalists support the Constitution, Anti-Federalists do not. Washington is a Federalist…

  17. THE CONSTITUTION • 3. RATIFICATION The Federalist Papers(written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay) were written for a New York newspaper andpresented reasons for supporting the Constitution. The biggest objection to the constitution was overcomeby adding the Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments). 11/11+

  18. 4. BILLOF RIGHTS

  19. PHILOSOPHICAL INFLUENCES ON THE CONSTITUTION MONTESQUIEU Gives us the idea of “separation of powers”--each branch has it’s own duties SOCIAL CONTRACT THEORISTS GOVERNMENT IS A CONTRACT WITH THE PEOPLE HOBBES THE KING (AUTHORITY) HAS THE DUTY TO PROVIDE SECURITY. PEOPLE AGREE TO FORM A SOCIETY (BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT) AND GOVERNMENT (BY MAJORITY) IS RESPONSIBLE TO THEM. LESS GOVERNMENT = MORE FREEDOM LOCKE ROUSSEAU EACH MEMBER SURRENDERS RIGHTS TO THE COMMUNITY. THE GENERAL WILL IS ALWAYS RIGHT
