2 The End of the Confederation Era By 1786 it became clear that the Articles were not working The Philadelphia Convention of 1787 brought leaders from the 12 states (Rhode Island did not attend) to address the following question: How can we fix the Articles of Confederation to balance the needs of the country with the rights of the states?
3 The Decision: The Articles could not be fixed. The convention delegates decided that they would create a new system and write a new plan of government. Thus, the Philadelphia Convention than became know as the CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
4 Constitutional Convention Independence Hall in Philadelphia May Sept 1787
5 55 delegates from 12 states Most were in their 30 s and 40 s 30 were lawyers or judges ½ attended Continental Congress Many helped draft their state constitutions Notables include: George Washington Ben Franklin James Madison Alexander Hamilton Jefferson and Adams were in Europe as American Ambassadors
6 James Madison: Father of the Constitution Virginian Scholar of Enlightenment thinking Helped Write Virginia's Constitution Friends with Jefferson
7 The First Draft Madison s Plan for the Government A strong national government with three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. Congress = 2 houses (Upper and Lower) and Representation in Congress was to be based on population
8 Concerns over Representation Small States: Lawmaking would be controlled by the large states. All States should be equal! The Virginia Plan A Very Strong Central Government Large States: Too much like life under the AOC small states have too much power! Concerns over a very powerful centralized government. Congress, not the people, should choose the President and the national judges. The President and the Court could VETO or REJCT laws passed by Congress
9 The Counter-plan: The New Jersey Plan A national government with three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. One House of Congress and each state has one vote Congress to TAX and regulate TRADE Concerns: States maintained more power than Central Government Smaller States had too much power
10 A Divided Convention Small States vs. Large States Lacking a middle ground where the two sides could meet, the convention seemed in danger of collapsing.
11 The Great Compromise that created our Bi- Cameral Congress Senate each state would have two Senators House of Representatives a fixed number that would be divided by the proportions of state populations. Big states had more representatives than small states
12 With the Great Compromise approved, the delegates could turn their attention to another issue concerning representation. This image is titled The Signing of the Constitution. This painting was created by Thomas P. Rossiter circa This image is courtesy of teachingamericanhistory.org.
13 If a state s population determines the number of votes it had in the House of Representatives, could slaves be counted as part of that population?

14 The Three-Fifths Compromise Delegates disagreed bitterly over having slaves count towards a state s population. Manufacturing and trade made up a significant part of the North s economy, even though it was still mostly agricultural during this time period. The South was also primarily agricultural with enlsaved African American men and women working on its plantations. This image is courtesy of bloodbankers.typepad.com.
15 The Southern states wanted to count slaves as part of their population. By counting slaves as part of their population, they could have more representatives in the Congress. This image is courtesy of southcarolina.lostsoulsgenealogy.com.
16 The South did not want to count slaves as a basis for paying taxes to the national government, however. This would make their taxes higher. So the South wanted it both ways. They said their slaves are property, but they don t want to pay taxes on that property. They also claimed that their slaves were human, and that their numbers should count toward their population, but and they would not give them the rights as free human beings, including the right to vote for their representatives.

17 The Northern states, on the other hand, thought that slaves should be counted for tax purposes, but not for representation in the House. The North wanted to count them for tax purposes because the South claimed that slaves were property. Property could be taxed. This image shows that in 1789 there were more slave states than free states. This image is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
18 A Solution To solve the problem, the delegates finally agreed to the Three-Fifths Compromise. According to the terms of this compromise, only three-fifths of the enslaved people in Southern states would be counted for both representation and taxation. The Northern states agreed because they did not want to risk stalling the convention again. This image is courtesy of historytunes.com.
19 In effect, though, this meant that each slave would only count as three-fifths of a person. The Northern states agreed to the compromise even though the Confederation Congress had earlier banned slavery in the Northwest Territory. Other compromises on slavery occurred at the convention.

20 Both sides agreed that Congress could outlaw the importation of slaves in 20 years, or the beginning of This image shows captured slaves aboard a ship taking them to the Americas. This image is courtesy of spring2011culf1318.blogspot.com.
21 They also agreed that no state could stop an escaped slave from being returned to a slaveholder. Although some delegates criticized these compromises, their desire to establish an effective national government outweighed their desire to act against slavery at this time.

22 Signing the Constitution After four months of hard work, the delegates completed the new Constitution. Thirteen delegates had returned home; the remaining 42 named a committee to write the final draft. Three refused to sign: George Mason Virginia, who opposed the Constitution until his death; Edmund Randolph from Virginia, who eventually supported its approval by the states; and Elbridge Gerry from Massachusetts.

24 On September 17, 1787, 39 delegates signed the document. September 17 th is still Constitution Day. This painting is titled The Signing of the American Constitution. It was created by Albert Herter ( ). This image is courtesy of teachingamericanhistory.org.
25 Now the new Constitution would go to the states, where at least 9 of the 13 states would have to ratify it before it could become the law of the land. Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constituion. Rhode Island was the last state to ratify the constitution. This image is courtesy of teachingamericanhistory.org.
26 No one seemed completely happy with the final plan, but most agreed it presented a vast improvement on the Articles of Confederation. This image shows the first of four pages of a very faded United States Constitution. This image is courtesy of archives.gov.
