9 Problems after the War The 2nd Continental Congress faced numerous issues in the final years of the war 1. The former colonies (now states) needed a new form of government a. The chose a republic (representative democracy) but had no modern day example to follow 2. What laws would govern the land? a. Many state constitutions were similar, but which to choose became an issue for the 13 states
10 Problems after the War 3. State Representation and Sharing of Power - How would the different states be represented in the new republic? - Who would have the power and authority? The states? Or the national government? 4. Land Issues and Debt - Who owned and controlled new lands in the west? How would the nation and states pay their debts to citizens and foreign countries?
11 The Articles of Confederation In 1781, the Articles of Confederation were ratified The Articles formed a confederation -- a loose alliance between the states The Articles provided a unified front for the country but the government had no real power to enforce its actions
12 Activity In groups of 3, you will look at the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation You will look at different cards that explain the weaknesses and fill out the necessary box on their worksheet
13 Weaknesses of the Articles Provided a weak national government Congress had no power to tax or regulate trade between the states Provided for no common currency (money) Gave each state one vote, regardless of size/population Provided for no executive or judicial branches (no president or national court system)
14 Check for Understanding - Mr. Betts
15 Successes of the Articles of Confederation Land settlement was the only real success of the Articles Land Ordinance of 1785 Since the government could not tax, it needed a source of money Sold land to settlers west of the Appalachians, used the money to run the government Northwest Ordinance Opened up the Northwestern territories to settlement Established the process for territories to become states Banned slavery in those territories and made the Ohio River the dividing line between free and slave states
16
17 The New Nation s Money Problems too much for the Articles of Confederation? Foreign Debt The nation owed 190 million dollars to foreign countries for their assistance during the war How will they pay it back? Foreign Relations Because the US owed money to Loyalists for property damage and were in debt to British merchants, Britain stationed troops and built forts in the Great Lakes area Spain closed the Mississippi River to US trade because the US government owed Spain money
18 Shays Rebellion A rebellion led by farmer Daniel Shays to protest taxes and debt after the war in Massachusetts Shays Rebellion showed the inability of the national government to act Shays Rebellion also showed the weakness of the government as far as dealing with financial and military problems
19 The Annapolis Convention A delegation meeting was called at Annapolis to discuss the weaknesses of the Articles Only 12 delegates from 5 states showed up and nothing was accomplished The failure of the Annapolis Convention prompted Alexander Hamilton to call for another convention to be held in Philadelphia in 1787 to discuss amending the Articles (This convention would lead to the writing and signing of the Constitution

34 Constitutional Compromises - Balancing Sectional/Regional Interests of the States Northern States Southern States 3/5s Compromise
35 Northern States (Compromises) Slaves should NOT be counted for representation, but SHOULD be counted for taxation This position was best for the non-slavery states (mostly northern and smaller)
36 Southern States (Compromises) Slaves SHOULD be counted for representation, but they should NOT be counted for taxation This position was best for the slave-holding states Mostly southern with large numbers of slaves
37 Three-Fifths (3/5th) Compromise How should population be counted for representation and taxation? Count some of the slaves For every 5 slaves, 3 would be counted for population and taxation

51 Federalism Venn Diagram
52 The Ratification Debate Ratification - Official Approval Before the Constitution could be put into practice it needs to be ratified, or official approval by the states Each state set up a convention to approve or reject the Constitution Nine states had to accept the Constitution for it to be ratified Debate over Constitution - (Federalists and Anti-Federalists) What were their arguments??? Schoolhouse Rock:

54 Federalists vs. Antifederalists Who are they? What do they differ on? **Federalists: FOR ratification **Anti-Federalists: AGAINST ratification
55 Federalists - FOR RATIFICATION Strong central government was good for solving national issues Order and national security Economic development Commerce between states DID NOT need a Bill of Rights because the Constitution already protected the citizens Separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism protected the states and citizens from a government that was too powerful Major Federalists: George Washington ALEXANDER HAMILTON. James Madison, John Jay (wrote Federalist Papers to support ratification)
56 Anti-Federalists - AGAINST RATIFICATION Feared that a strong central government would take away rights of citizens and states, and would favor the rich and powerful WANTED a Bill of Rights to protect individuals from power of government (refused to ratify without it VA and NY) Major Anti-Federalists: Patrick Henry and George Mason James Madison eventually agreed with them and wrote the Bill of Rights
57 Primary Source Activity Your Task Read through each primary source and answer the questions to follow along We will stop to talk about each primary source It s ok not to understand all the words the point is to understand the idea of each passage You will work in your groups
58 To Review Federalists: wanted Ratification of the Constitution Anti-Federalists: did NOT want the Constitution to be ratified Constitution was eventually ratified in 1789 Included: The Great Compromise: to resolve the issue of representation in the Government 3/5th s Compromise: to resolve the issue (at the time) of counting slaves in the population (also by taxing slave owners) Eventually there will be a Bill of Rights to make supporters of the Articles of Confederation and the Anti-Federalists happier.
