Bellwork: What is this? We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Learning Target: I can explain the difference between a federalist and Anti-Federalist

How the Constitution Fixed Our Country

In a confederacy, the states have most of the power and the national government is weak. There is no chief executive to carry out the laws that are created. Stronger Central government – National/State Executive Branch – President, VP, impeachment

How the Constitution Fixed Our Country There are no national courts to settle disputes between the states. Congress is responsible to the states- the states have too much power. Creation of the Supreme Court Congress can regulate states

How the Constitution Fixed Our Country 9 of 13 states have to approve a law for it to be passed. The national government cannot tax the citizens- only the states can. 2/3 majority of Congress Federal taxes & state taxes

How the Constitution Fixed Our Country There is no way to regulate trade among states. Every state has a different currency. Regulation of trade One U.S. currency

The Great Debate Ratification: To get approved or passed

Federalism & Separation of Powers Federalism - a system of government where the powers are shared by the central (federal) and state governments. –Federal law supersedes state law

Federalist Wanted Constitution ratified Strong central government Federal court system Executive power Ensure safety and security of the nation Opposed to the Bill of Rights

Anti-federalist Didn’t want Constitution ratified Strong state government State court systems President is too much like a King Protect individual rights Supported Bill of Rights

Why did the Federalist win? “Fathers of the Constitution”: –James Madison and Alexander Hamilton Organized Federalist Papers –Spread the ideas of Constitution – more intelligent approach

People States National Executive- Approve, enacts & enforces laws. President & Vice President Judicial- Interprets laws- Supreme Court Legislative Senate House of Representatives Congress Separation of Powers Government

Three Branches of Government Legislative Branch Makes laws Bicameral House of Representatives & Senate Executive Branch  Carries out (enforces) the laws.  President Judicial Branch Interprets (reviews) the laws Supreme Court 9 Judges

Federalist vs Antifederalist Document Activity: Analyze the documents and answer the questions in complete answers.
