Chapter 1 Lesson 1 ocial tudies Lesson 1 Read the passage. Familiarize yourself with vocabulary that will be found in the following lesson. While reading, think about what caused the creation of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. U.. Constitution and Bill of Rights In 1776, the 13 colonies declared their independence from England. Having been governed by the King of England before the Declaration of Independence, the colonists were now in need of their own government. Each colony set up a state government, but a central government was needed. Representatives from each state met to plan the new government. Finally in 1781, the first constitution, known as the Articles of Confederation, was approved by the members of Congress and the states. 2 COPYING I PROHIBITED Englefield & Associates, Inc.
ocial tudies Chapter 1 Lesson 1 Though the Articles of Confederation were useful as the first plan for a central government, it had many flaws. tate governments were independent of one another and stronger than the central government. eeing a need for the Articles of Confederation to be revised, or changed, delegates met in Philadelphia for more than three months in 1787, to discuss, debate, and decide on a new constitution. Once the new constitution was written, it had to be ratified by at least 9 of the 13 states in order to become law. This was no easy task because many colonists feared that the new constitution would make the central government too powerful. At first, only 5 states approved the constitution. After weeks of debates, Massachusetts recommended that a list of rights be added to the constitution. ix states followed with a similar recommendation. Due to the promise of rights being added by Congress, the U.. Constitution was approved in 1788. The first 10 amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, were added to the Constitution in 1791. Lesson 1: Vocabulary Articles of Confederation: the first constitution; the first plan for a formal, central government of the original 13 colonies, approved in 1781. U.. Constitution: 2nd plan for a formal, central government which replaced the Articles of Confederation in 1788. The Constitution explains how our government is set up; a government by the people and for the people with 3 separate, yet balanced branches of power. Bill of Rights: the first ten amendments added to the U.. Constitution in 1791, which guarantees certain rights and freedoms to citizens. Englefield & Associates, Inc. COPYING I PROHIBITED 3
