16 The Colonies on Their Own (cont.) The Boston Tea Party was a protest by colonists that led to Parliament passing the Coercive Acts. The colonist called them the Intolerable Act Blocking ports Closing Congress Quartering Troops ETC Until Money was paid back for dumping tea into the harbor
17 Colonial Unity By the 1760s colonial leaders began to take action against British oppression. Committees of correspondence were organized to urge resistance to the British. The Intolerable Acts prompted Massachusetts and Virginia to organize the First Continental Congress.
18 Colonial Unity (cont.) This led to the first battle of the Revolutionary War at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. This is when the colonists slapped their moma Delegates from the thirteen colonies gathered for the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia and immediately assumed the powers of a central government.

23 Section 3 Government Under the Articles of Confederation By March 1781, all 13 colonies had ratified or approved, the Articles of Confederation. The central government under the Articles was a unicameral, or single-chamber, legislature. When the legislature, or Congress, was not in session, the government was run by a Committee of the States.
24 Government Under the Articles of Confederation (cont.) Each state had one vote in Congress no matter its size or population.

31 Achievements (cont.) The Ordinance of 1785 provided for the surveying and division of the territory.

34 The Need for Stronger National Government (cont.) Economic troubles led to Shays s Rebellion an uprising by armed groups of farmers that forced several courts to close to prevent farm foreclosures. In 1787 Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, who favored stronger national government, persuaded the delegates to hold a convention in Philadelphia to revise the Articles.
