Chapter 5 Section 2 The Struggle for Ratification Mrs. Enright Social Studies

Vocabulary Ratified- Approved Federalists- Supporters of the Constitution and strong federal, or national government Anti-Federalists- Opponents of the Constitution

Federalist Views The Federalists thought that individual states couldn’t protect themselves whereas a strong government would… Provide protection Maintain order Regulate trade Guarantee the rights of the citizens Ensure that the nation’s debts were paid Make sure that American money had a stable value worldwide

Anti-Federalist Views Feared that a strong government would endanger people’s liberties Government couldn’t be called a real government because meetings were held far away from the public Representatives should meet close to the people that they represented

Laws “Necessary and Proper” In the Constitution there was a statement that gave Congress power to make laws “necessary and proper” in order to carry out stated powers Anti-Federalists felt this statement left room for the abuse of power

Bill of Rights Anti-Federalists wanted a bill of rights so that citizen’s rights were respected Federalists thought it was unnecessary since the Constitution already limited the government’s power

Patrick Henry Revolutionary War hero Strong Anti-Federalist Called Constitution “horridly defective” Led Virginia in the fight against ratification “Mr. Chairman, the necessity for a bill of rights appears to me to be greater in this government than ever it was in any government before…. All rights not expressly reserved to the people are relinquished to rulers.”

The Federalist Papers 1787-1788 : essays written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay (known as The Federalist) Published in New York newspapers, 85 total Talked about the need of a new government and what form the government should take Attempted to convince readers of the need for the Constitution Emphasized how America was weak as a country and could be over powered by France, Spain, or England without a national government

Ratification Federalists agreed to create a bill of rights In several cases the Constitution was approved only by a few votes June 1788- a new government was created when New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify Government needed the four remaining states Spring 1790- all 13 states had ratified the Constitution

Ratifying the Constitution Delaware - December 7, 1787 Pennsylvania - December 12, 1787 New Jersey - December 18, 1787 Georgia - January 2, 1788 Connecticut - January 9, 1788 Massachusetts - February 6, 1788 Maryland - April 28, 1788 South Carolina - May 23, 1788 New Hampshire - June 21, 1788 Virginia - June 25, 1788 New York - July 26, 1788 North Carolina - November 21, 1789 (Originally defeated) Rhode Island - May 29, 1790
