13 LESSON 5 confederation compromise representative democracy rights convention legislature constitution ratify amendment How would you create a new form of government, one that no other country had? Read this selection to find out how the United States government was created. The New Nation and the Constitution The Articles of Confederation The revolution was over. It was time to set up a government for the United States. In 1781, the Articles of Confederation set up the new government. A confederation is a group of independent states that work together. The first national government was weak. It had no leader or president. There were no courts to rule over all the states. Writing the Constitution In May 1787, the Constitutional Convention took place in Philadelphia. A convention is a meeting for a particular purpose. States with many people thought they should have more power. States with fewer people wanted equal power. A compromise was made. In a compromise, each side gives up something to reach an agreement. The Great Compromise Plan A The legislature has two houses. The number of representatives is based on population. Plan B The legislature has one house. Each state has the same number of representatives. The legislature has two houses. In one house, the number of representatives is based on state population. In the other house, each state has the same number of representatives. 28 The New Nation and the Constitution
14 In the Great Compromise, the legislature, the branch of government that makes laws, has two parts. Each part is called a house. In one house, the number of representatives is based on the number of people in the state. In the other house, each state has the same number of representatives. A representative is a person chosen to act or speak for others. The Constitution Becomes Law The Constitutional Convention created the United States Constitution. A constitution is a legal paper that describes how a government works. The Constitution outlined a system of government run by the people who live under it. It is known as a democracy. In 1788, people voted to ratify the Constitution, or make it into law. The next year, George Washington was elected as the first President of the United States. George Washington was the leader of the Constitutional Convention. The Bill of Rights Soon, it became clear that the Constitution had a flaw. It did not protect people s basic rights. Rights are freedoms owed to the people. Rights include freedom to say or write what one thinks. Freedom of religion is also a right. A fair trial is a right too. Ten amendments were added to the Constitution. Each amendment, or change, protects our rights. These ten amendments are known as the Bill of Rights.
