7 Daily History Which president and his wife hosted the first annual White House Thanksgiving dinner? James K. Polk & his wife Sarah.

8 Page 75 SC Constitutions

9 SC adopted its first constitution establishing an independent state government before the D of I was signed.

10 It was written to serve as the foundation of government until the disagreements with England were resolved.

11 Two house legislature. Lower house- elected by the people. The Upper house elected by the lower house. The president was elected by both & had the rights to veto laws.

12 Lowcountry had greater representation than the backcountry.

13 A second constitution was written after the signing of the D of I with only a few minor changes: President would be called governor Representation was slightly more distributed Church of England no longer official state-supported church of SC

14 Daily History FACT OR FICTION: IN 1863, ABRAHAM LINCOLN BECAME THE FIRST AMERICAN PRESIDENT TO PROCLAIM A NATIONAL DAY OF THANKSGIVING. Go Away Cheater

15 Daily History Fiction. George Washington, John Adams and James Madison all issued proclamations urging Americans to observe days of thanksgiving, both for general good fortune and for particularly momentous events (the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, in Washington’s case; the end of the War of 1812, in Madison’s). Thanksgiving history

16 Page 76 Articles of Confederation

17 South Carolinians took an active role in the establishment of the new national government. The Continental Congress acted as the first national government of the U.S.

18 SC's own Henry Laurens served as President of the C.C. & later was asked to help negotiate the Treaty of Paris.

19 The Articles of Confederation were written to officially establish the first national government for the U.S.

20 SC ratified the Articles quickly, but other states didn't until a compromise was reached over ownership of western lands.

21 Government was modeled on the Continental Congress with one vote for each state. Disagreements over interstate trade, currency & taxes proved the Confederation government too weak to meet the needs of a new nation.

22 Charles Pinckney advocated fro a stronger national government. He served as head of a committee that recommended amendments to strengthen the A of C. Pinckney also tried to persuade other states to pay their war debt. SC was the only state to pay their required war debt.

23 Powers given to Congress/StrengthsWeaknesses of the A of C The Confederation was formed like this b/c... Many people wanted to replace the A of C b/c...

24 Congress given the power to: Declare War Make Peace Sign Treaties Borrow Money Establish an Army & Navy Organize a Post Office

25 Weakness of the A of C: No Power to Collect Taxes from the States Difficult to Pass Laws (9/13 vote) No National Currency Difficult to Amend(Unanimous Vote Needed to Change Articles) No Chief Executive No National Court System No Power to Draft Soldiers No Power to Control Interstate Commerce No Power to Enforce Treaties

26 So.... if we have all these issues why did they create our government like this? The Confederation was formed like this because everyone feared that a strong central government would create tyranny, and stamp out the peoples rights.

27 Why did many want to replace the A of C? Many wanted to replace the A of C because the nation needed to function as ONE united country not 13 small unorganized nations.

28 Daily history How did the A of C help establish the national government? Was it a good or bad document? Explain.
