1 Battle of Saratoga British troops reached Saratoga from Quebec and were surrounded and severely outnumbered = Surrendered Huge military victory, and boosted morale Convinced the French & Spain to enter the war on the side of the colonists. **Considered the Turning Point in the war for the Colonists**
2 Battle of Yorktown Last battle of the Revolution Parliament did not want to continue after this loss American Independence! Western border= Mississippi River land west of the river belongs to French & British
3 Treaty of Paris Sep. 3, Britain recognized the United States of America Britain kept Canada & gave Florida back to Spain Nov. 24, Last British Troops left New York
4 The Constitution Ch.1 - Sec.3
5 Government American leaders working to plan a central govt. - Most states had State Constitutions Wanted to create a gov that was NOT tyrannical. American leaders wanted a republic = power resides w/ citizens who are entitled to vote Articles of Confederation = (1st Constitution) Weakly unified the states = under the Confederation Congress congress had very limited power
6 Articles of Confederation Strength = able to negotiate with other nations - raise armies - declare war Weakness - no authority to tax or regulate trade - Each state had only 1 vote no matter size or population - Each state had its own currency system
7 Northwest Ordinance 1787 Major achievement by Confederation Congress Plan for selling & governing new land West of the Appalachian Mountains & North of the Ohio River Valley - Hence NorthWest Ordinance spelled out how states would be created from the new territory Guaranteed rights = Freedom of Religion & Freedom from Slavery
8 Issues with Weaknesses No tax = Recession = Economic Slowdown - Economy collapsing No money to pay for war or new gov expenses Gov. raised taxes to generate money - Hardest Hit = Farmers Daniel Shay - led rebellion w/ 1,200 farmers in protest (Shay s Rebellion) Finally put down by state militia People afraid of the direction the country was going - called for a stronger National Government
9 New Constitution Articles of Confederation toooooo weak 55 delegates met in Philadelphia Met to: revise Articles of Confederation. Meeting called : Constitutional Convention
10 Constitutional Convention 55 Delegates - Americas top leaders (Colonial Leaders) Decided to scrap the Articles of Confederation & start over
11 Debate and Compromise Needed stronger National government Power to: Tax, make laws, divide govt into 3 branches (separation of powers)
12 The Big Debate How would states and people be represented in congress????? 2 plans were created Virginia plan New Jersey Plan
13 Virginia Plan James Madison - Creator of Virginia Plan (Big States Plan) Believe representation be based on population numbers
14 New Jersey Plan William Patterson - Creator of Jersey Plan Representation would be same for all states 2 people per state no matter the size =
15 Great Compromise Congress = would be divided into 2 separate houses 1. House of Representative - (Based on states population) 2. Senate - Each state would have equal representation = 2 reps per state Aka: The Connecticut Compromise
16 Controversy... What about slaves... how do they count for tax and representation purposes????? Northern View - think slaves should NOT count since they are not allowed to vote!! Southern - Want more representation in House of Representatives - Want slaves to count for population purposes
17 3/5 Compromise 3 out of every 5 would be counted as free people for tax & representation purposes
18 New Constitution Separation of Governmental Powers: into 3 branches Legislative Branch - (Congress) Executive Branch - (President) Judicial Branch - (Supreme Courts) Called for a system of Checks and Balances Each branch can over-rule another branch so no single branch is all powerful or above the law Constitutional Changes = Amendments = proposal and ratification ( 2/3 proposed, ¾ ratification)
19 Ratification of the Constitution For the Constitution to be ratified (ratified = approved) 9 out of the 13 states had to agree for Ratification Supporters of the Constitution were FEDERALISTS (all okay the way it was) - Supported a Federal gov! - Rich land owners opponents were ANTI-FEDERALISTS (concerned with who had power & wanted a Bill of Rights) BILL OF RIGHTS: first ten amendments! May Constitution Ratified (approved)
