ConstitutionConvention AP American History Erin Applegate
Economic Conditions post American revolutionary war The states seized control of former crown owned lands. The Americans could trade freely. The Average citizens were better financially before the war then after the war. Large estates were split up into smaller plot and sold.
Shays rebellion 1786 Hard times and high taxes intended to pay off the states war dept drove Massachusetts farmers into rebellion. Led by Daniel Shay, then shut down courts to prevent judges from seizing properties of condemning people to debtors prison for failing to pay taxes.  Created Panic Farmers petitioned that the state issue paper money to stop foreclosure on their property.
Where, when and purpose of the constitution convention Where- Philadelphia, Independence Hall When- 1787 Purpose- The goal was to reduce the Articles, but it was quickly decided to replace them completely.
Key people and their contributions to the constitution convention George Washington-elected first president.  William Paterson-created the New Jersey plan Edmund Randolph-created the Virginia plan. James Madison-style of constitution and persuaded Virginia and Maryland to agree to conference. Gunning Bedford-opposed strong central government. Alexander Hamilton-argued neither the Virginia Plan nor the New Jersey Plan were adequate to the task at hand. Ben Franklin
Virginia Plan vs. New Jersey Plan Virginia Plan  -Bicameral (2 houses)   -Proposed by big states  -One house elected my people  -One house elected by the 1st house  -Number of congressmen decided by state population. New Jersey Plan   -Unicameral (1 house)  -Supported by smaller weaker states  -One house based on equality each state would have the same number of representatives.
The Great Compromise A combination of both Virginia’s plan and New Jersey’s plan.  -Bicameral Congress (2 houses)   -House of Representatives, number by state population.   -Senate, two per state.
3/5  Compromise This was decided so that slaves could count as part of the population. A slave would be 3/5 of a person.                    3 people=5 slaves.
Federalist vs. Anti-Federalist I would have chose Anti-federalist because:  -Without a bill of rights being added to the constitution there would be limited rights to citizens.  -I would also fear that a strong central government would grow to be powerful and America would turn into a monarchy, ruled by a king.
