No president No power to tax No national currency No power to regulate trade between the states No national army All states have to agree to change the Articles of Confederation No national court system
5 Northwest Ordinance IMPORTANCE Created a government for the territory Provided for the admittance of new states RULES OF THE NORTHWEST ORDINANCE 1. Slavery was illegal in the Northwest territory 2. Encouraged free education 3. Religious freedom 4. Trial by jury 5. As soon as territories reached a population of 60,000 people, they could become a state 1. How many states were created out of the territory? 2. What geographical feature might have made people decide to settle in the Northwest Territory? 3. What river borders the NW territory to the west? 4. What river borders the NW territory to the South?

6 Influence of Major Historical Documents Magna Carta 1215 Constitutional Convention Guaranteed trial by jury. The king could not impose taxes without the consent of the people English Bill of Rights 1689 stated that Englishmen had guaranteed rights Mayflower Compact 1620 Pilgrims agreed to form their own government and obey its laws Federalist Papers 1788 Collection of 85 articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution. Which historical document do you feel was the biggest influence on the Founding Fathers? Why? Reflection: I had trouble with: I remembered very well! I need to review Notes:
7 Great Compromise New Jersey Plan Virginia Plan favored small states Legislature would have 1 house Each state would get 1 vote in congress Favored large states Legislature would have 2 houses Both houses would get representation Based on population or wealth THE COMPROMISE TWO house legislature 1) Based on population = House of Representatives 2) Equal number of representatives, 2 per state = Senate Senate + House of Representatives = Congress Congress makes laws 3/5 compromise During the Constitutional Convention, the Northern and Southern states disagreed about counting slaves as part of the population The south wanted slaves to count because that would mean they get more representatives in Congress The North felt this was unfair The North agreed to count slaves as 3/5 of a person Slaves still did not have citizenship or the right to vote There are two ways two represent the 3/5 Compromise. Draw them both
8 Federalists vs Anti-Federalists John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison Important People Patrick Henry, George Mason Favored the Constitution Constitution Opposed the Constitution Wanted limited state power. The Senate gave enough power to the states (Strong FEDERAL government) The Bill of Rights was unnecessary Power of the13 States Bill of Rights Wanted strong state power (strong STATE government) Bill of Rights was a must in order to protect individual freedom Wanted the Constitution instead of the Articles of Confederation Articles of Confederation Articles of Confederation could be fixed We should be a large country Size of the Nation We should be a small country Large farmers, merchants, Supporters Small farmers, often from rural areas 1. A federal government ought to be clothed with all the powers requisite to complete execution of its trust. 2. Energy in the Executive is a leading characteristic in the definition of good government. 3. A bill of rights serves to secure the minority against the usurpation and tyranny of the majority. 4. The states should respectively have laws, courts, force, and revenues of their own sufficient for their own security; they ought to be fit to keep house alone if necessary. 5. I am against inserting a declaration of rights in the Constitution If such an addition is not dangerous, it is at least unnecessary.
9 Bill of Rights 1 st amendment Speech Religion Assembly Press Petition 2 nd bear arms 3 rd no quartering soldiers 4 th search and seizure 5 th due process 6 th speedy trial 7 th trial by jury 8 th no cruel or unusual punishment 9 th people have other rights 10 th powers not listed are given to the states Reflection: I had trouble with: I remembered very well! I need to review Notes:
10 Principles of the Constitution Draw a picture that represents each principle Popular sovereignty rule by the people Republicanism the right to vote for representatives Federalism Separation of powers Balance of Power Limited government Individual rights power is shared between the national and state governments branches that make, enforce or interpret laws controls (checks) can be made on the other branches everyone is bound by the US Constitution personal freedoms are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights Read the statements below and choose which principle is being described. All answers will be used only once. Separation of powers Limited government Federalism Republicanism. 1. The President is commander in chief of the military, even though Congress declares war. 2. The national and state governments can conduct elections. 3. The citizens of Texas vote for the new governor. 4. A President can only serve two terms.
11 Checks and balances Federalism Individual rights Republicanism 5. This principle divides power between the state and national government. 6. In 2000, Americans chose George Bush as President. 7. Congress has the power to confirm or deny the President s nominations. 8. citizens are guaranteed the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If you had to get rid of ONE principle, which one would it be and why?
12 Amending the Constitution A two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress to propose an amendment Three-fourths of the 50 state legislatures to ratify, or approve, an amendment New Amendment to the Constitution If you could create a new amendment to the Constitution, what would it be and why? Reflection: I had trouble with: I remembered very well! I need to review Notes:
