Why was the Constitutional Convention called? ”for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of the Confederation”

 NJ and VA Plans  Great Compromise Created 2 houses in the legislature House based on population Senate – 2 from each state  Slavery  3/5’s Compromise

 The AoC  tons of problems!  The Constitution strengthened the economic powers of Congress  Prohibited certain actions by the states

 Delegates believed they had created a limited government that would not threaten personal freedoms

1. The Framers believed in the basic goodness of human nature. 2. The Framers represented the interests of the upper, rather than the lower, classes. 3. Man’s primary motive is self interest. 4. The Framers believed in checking power with power to prevent abuse.

 “ Authority of the people” The people consent to be governed and specify the powers and rules by which they shall be governed

 Voters hold sovereign power in a republican system Republic/representative democracy-a system of limited government where the people are the final source of authority

 Restricted the governments power to specific powers granted by the people

 The principle of shared power  Enumerated powers – powers that belong only to the federal government Examples:  Coin money  Regulate interstate and foreign trade  Maintain the armed forces  Reserved powers – powers retained by the states Examples:  Establish schools  Pass marriage and divorce laws  Regulate trade within the state  Concurrent powers – powers the state and federal governments share Examples:  Right to raise taxes  Borrow money  Administer criminal justice

 to prevent any single group or institution from gaining too much authority, the framers divided the federal government into three branches Legislative: Congress makes the laws Executive: carries out the laws Judicial: interprets and applies the laws

 each branch of government can check, or limit, the power of the other branches  Such as… pres can veto legislation- congress holds purse strings and must approve presidential appointments- pres nominate judges but senate must confirm- judicial review (Marbury v. Madison)- HoR and Senate can veto each other- Congress can impeach pres and judges

 The Bill of Rights: The first 10 Amendments protect basic liberties and rights  The remaining 17 Amendments expand the rights of Americans and adjust certain provisions of The Constitution

Well… Federalists v. Antifederalists What do YOU think?

 Why did opponents object to the Constitution?  How did supporters of the Constitution defend the new government?

 Promise of Bill of Rights (ratified 1791)  11 states by 1788 (needed 9 of 13 to be ratified)  N. Carolina  Rhode Island  Why hadn’t there been a BoR in the first place?
