Test Review Class Average- 85%

Articles of Confederation.. FAILED. Not enough power given to the national government SO.. onto the Constitutional Convention.

Constitutional Convention Re-write constitution Dispose of the Articles of Confederation 55 delegates (representatives)

Virginia Plan Focused on a federal government (similar to todays) Included; president, courts, congress(two houses) Delegates based on states population Larger states= more representation, smaller states=less Which type of states do you think this plan appealed to?

Virginia Plan Larger states  in favor Smaller states  feared their interests would be ignored

New Jersey Plan Proposed by the smaller states Government more closely aligned to Articles of Confederation Each state would have equal representation Congress would set taxes and regulate trade

CONFLICT How would these two plans create conflict among the states? How do you handle conflict between two of your friends? (or how SHOULD you )

Great Compromise Debate the two plans Congress would have two houses (Senate and House of Representatives) Each state would have equal representation in Senate In the House, based on representation

3/5 Compromise 550,000 African Americans, mainly in South South wanted them to be counted in population Northeners opposed this idea Compromise- every 5 enslaved persons would count as three free persons (3/5 slave population accounted for)

North vs. South Page 76, pull out differences between Northern views and Southern views

Anti Federalists opposed the creation of a stronger U.S. federal government and later opposed the ratification of the Constitution of 1787

Federalists Supporters of federalism, new constitution

Federalism Form of government in which power is divided between the federal (national) government and the states

Anti-Federalist Views According to the Federal Farmer, what will be the greatest flaw with representation in an extended republic? Why will the administration of justice be a problem in the extended republic according to the Federal Farmer?

Federalist Views How does Madison define a “pure democracy”? How does Madison define a republic? According to Madison, what are the two great points of difference between a “pure democracy” and a republic? Why are “pure democracies” prone to the problem of faction? What are the two benefits of “extending the sphere,” according to Madison? What are the benefits of having a large rather than a small republic, according to Madison?
