Shays' Rebellion in western Massachusetts in 1786-1787 shocked the wealthy and political elite and highlighted problems with the government under the Articles of Confederation. Daniel Shays led an armed uprising of farmers who could not pay their taxes due to economic hardship. The rebellion demonstrated that the national government under the Articles lacked the power to provide security or regulate interstate commerce. As a result, many felt the Articles needed to be replaced with a new constitution that established a stronger federal government.

Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation established the first governing framework for the United States after the American Revolution from 1781-1788. However, the Articles proved largely ineffective, as Congress had no power to tax or regulate commerce between the states. Mounting political and economic problems, such as Shays' Rebellion and the inability to pay war debts, prompted leaders to hold the Constitutional Convention to establish a stronger federal government.
Articles of Confederation Day 2
The document summarizes the key political, economic, and foreign problems with the Articles of Confederation, including that unanimous state approval was required for amendments, Congress could not tax or regulate interstate trade, Britain and Spain closed ports and territories, and Shay's Rebellion showed the weakness of the national government. It also briefly outlines the Annapolis Convention calling for another meeting in Philadelphia to revise the Articles.
End of the Articles
The Articles of Confederation had no way to control the economic system of the states, which led to economic chaos as states printed their own money. A small group met in Annapolis to discuss solutions but represented only a few states. Meanwhile, Massachusetts passed a harsh tax that had to be paid in gold or silver, which farmers struggled to do, leading Daniel Shays to lead an uprising to seize weapons and protest the tax. The inability of Congress to intervene demonstrated the need to strengthen the national government, which a convention in Philadelphia would address.
Era of good feelings 2019
The Era of Good Feelings in the US following the War of 1812 was characterized by a heightened sense of nationalism, optimism about the country's future, and reduced sectionalism and political divisions. There was a decline in political parties, particularly the Federalists, after their opposition to the war. The period saw economic nationalism through measures like tariffs and the Second Bank of the US, as well as judicial nationalism under Chief Justice John Marshall that strengthened the federal government. Territorially, the US expanded its borders through treaties like the Adams-Onis Treaty and asserted its influence through the Monroe Doctrine.
Lesson 8
The document summarizes the key aspects of the Articles of Confederation, including its establishment of a weak national government with the states retaining most powers. Congress had limited powers such as establishing national policies and foreign relations but no taxing authority. This led to economic troubles and rebellions like Shays' Rebellion. Weaknesses included the inability to settle disputes between states or enforce agreements with other nations. The document establishes this led to calls to reform the government.
Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation established a weak national government with a unicameral Congress where each state had one vote and a veto. States had most of the power and participation was voluntary. The government could not tax, regulate trade, or raise military forces. This led to failures like Shays' Rebellion and economic problems until the Constitution replaced it.
The Articles of Confederation 2012
The Articles of Confederation, the first American constitution, established a weak central government with limited powers over the states. This caused several problems such as states not following national agreements, no national executive or judicial branches, inability to tax or regulate commerce between states. Events like Shays' Rebellion and foreign countries disrespecting the new nation showed a need for a stronger central government. In 1787, 74 delegates from 12 states convened at the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall, to revise the Articles of Confederation, but ultimately created an entirely new constitution that established the federal government of the United States.
The Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government for the United States after the Revolutionary War. Power was held mainly by the individual states, which considered themselves sovereign. The central government could not levy taxes, regulate interstate commerce, or enforce laws. It also lacked an army. This was demonstrated by Shays' Rebellion in Massachusetts, which the central government could not respond to militarily. The weaknesses of the Articles' government ultimately led to calls for a new, stronger federal constitution.

Additionally, it did not establish a common currency or separate executive and judicial branches. Each state also had an equal vote regardless of population size.
Federalists & Republicans
Alexander Hamilton, as Secretary of Treasury, proposed a three-part financial plan to establish the national government's credit and enhance its authority. The plan involved the federal government assuming states' Revolutionary War debts, creating the national Bank of the United States, and implementing tariffs and taxes. While successful, the plan divided those in support of Hamilton's vision of a strong central government and wealthy merchants from Jeffersonian Republicans who favored a decentralized agrarian society. This division led to the emergence of the Federalist and Democratic-Republican political parties.
The creation of new governments

A Bill of Rights was later added to protect individual liberties.
4.1 Launching A New Nation
George Washington oversaw the creation of new federal departments and asked Alexander Hamilton to address the nation's debt problem. Hamilton proposed a financial plan for the US government to assume all federal and state debts, charter a national bank, and impose tariffs on imported goods. This plan proved controversial, with northern states favoring it and southern states opposing it. It established precedents for paying off debts, convincing others to invest in the country, and using tariffs to raise money and protect domestic manufacturers. However, Hamilton's whiskey tax to generate new federal revenues led to the Whiskey Rebellion by western Pennsylvania farmers, which Washington helped quell by sending troops.

The fall of the a. of c
The Articles of Confederation proved to be an ineffective governing document, as it gave the central government very little power and authority over the states. Key weaknesses included the inability to raise tax revenue, regulate foreign trade, and enforce laws. Several crises further illustrated these flaws, such as states imposing tariffs on each other, the failure to pay war debts, and the inability to quell Shays' Rebellion. Growing divisions over the Articles led to the formation of political parties favoring either keeping or revising the national governing framework.
The new england colonies
The New England colonies consisted of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island were founded for religious freedom, mainly for Puritans seeking to establish their own religious communities. The main economies of these colonies centered around shipbuilding and fishing rather than farming. The colonies operated under a direct democracy with town meetings governing local affairs.

It describes Shays' Rebellion in Massachusetts as an example of the weaknesses of the Articles that emerged. The document concludes by noting the Philadelphia Convention was convened to revise the Articles, with notable founders like Washington, Madison, Franklin, and Hamilton in attendance.
New England
The Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629, led by John Winthrop, to serve as a "city on a hill" as a model Christian community. The Puritan Church was the only allowed religion and had legal authority over colonists, enforcing laws against missing church or immorality with punishments like whippings or death. Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams in 1632 to allow freedom of religion for all, while Connecticut was founded by Thomas Hooker who felt the Puritans had too much power and established the first written constitution limiting government powers. These colonies established the important ideas of religious freedom, government by agreed laws, and limited government that influenced the later New England colonies of Massachusetts,

20.3 the atlantic slave trade (1st period)
The Atlantic slave trade involved the transport of over 9.5 million Africans to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries. It began as a small enterprise in the 1500s but grew massively, with nearly 1.3 million Africans sold as slaves in the 1600s alone. The triangular trade route saw Europeans exchange goods for slaves from African leaders, who then transported the slaves across the Atlantic to be sold to Americans and forced to work plantations. The Middle Passage of this route saw horrific conditions that caused many slave deaths. African slaves faced immense cruelty and hardship through forced labor on American plantations. Some resisted through slow work or rebellion, but the slave trade profoundly impacted societies in Africa, Europe, and the

3 articles_of_confederation-shays_rebellion-2016.ppt
The document discusses the Articles of Confederation and the weaknesses that led to its replacement. It describes how the Articles gave most power to state governments and Congress lacked authority. This caused economic problems as states issued their own currencies and set independent trade policies. It also discusses Shays' Rebellion where farmers protested taxes, showing support for reform. The weaknesses of the Articles created calls for a stronger federal government with the power to levy taxes, regulate commerce, and more.
Ssush05 2011
The document discusses several key events from the early United States government under the Articles of Confederation and the first Presidencies under the Constitution:
1) Weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation like the inability to regulate commerce and the rebellion led by Daniel Shays showed the need for a stronger central government, leading to the Constitutional Convention.
2) The presidencies of George Washington and John Adams saw the establishment of the first executive departments and cabinets. Washington pursued a policy of neutrality during the wars in Europe while also dealing with the Whiskey Rebellion at home.
3) Political parties began emerging between the Federalists led by Hamilton, who supported a strong central government, and the Democratic-

The document defines several key terms from early American history and outlines several problems with the Articles of Confederation, including that Congress could not tax, the nation lacked a unified court system, and there was no national currency. It then discusses several compromises and plans debated at the Constitutional Convention, including the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, Three-Fifths Compromise, and the eventual Great Compromise, which created a bicameral Congress.
Lesson plan 2 Obstacles George Washington Faced
George Washington faced two main obstacles as the first President of the United States:
1. Establishing precedents for the structure and powers of the presidency as the country's new system of government was still being formed. This included debates over what to call him and developing the first Cabinet.
2. Addressing the young nation's large national debt from the Revolutionary War through Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton's controversial financial plan, which involved taking on state debts and issuing new bonds. While Hamilton argued this was crucial to economic growth, it faced opposition from figures like James Madison.
CH_7_AoC_and_Constitution
The document discusses the Articles of Confederation and the early United States government. It summarizes key points of the Articles, including that it established a weak central government with one legislative house and no president or judiciary. It also discusses economic and political issues in the 1780s under the Articles, including debt, Shays' Rebellion, and calls for a stronger federal government from Alexander Hamilton and James Madison.
U2 d5 the articles of confederation
The document summarizes key aspects of state governments and the Articles of Confederation, which served as the first government of the United States after independence. It describes the weak powers of the unicameral Congress under the Articles and various problems that arose between states due to the lack of strong federal authority. It concludes that Shay's Rebellion in Massachusetts exposed the weaknesses of the weak federal government and led states to call for reform towards a stronger national government.
Articles of Confederation
The document summarizes key weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, including that Congress had no power to tax or regulate interstate commerce. It also discusses two examples of problems that arose from these weaknesses: the failed State of Franklin due to a lack of support from North Carolina, and Shays' Rebellion, an armed uprising of farmers in Massachusetts that further highlighted the weaknesses of the federal government under the Articles.
Government notes chapter 1 intro
The origins of America's government can be traced back 200-300 years to ideas from the Enlightenment that influenced the colonists. The 13 original colonies established different forms of self-governance but faced increasing control from Britain in the mid-1700s, leading to calls of "no taxation without representation" and eventually the American Revolution. Delegates met at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and drafted the U.S. Constitution, which was then ratified and implemented, establishing a strong federal government of separated powers.
The creation of new governments
This document provides an overview of the creation of new governments following the American Revolution. It describes how the Articles of Confederation created a very weak national government with limited powers, leading to problems like financial troubles, inflation, and Shays' Rebellion. This convinced leaders that a stronger Constitution was needed to address problems facing the early United States. The new Constitution strengthened the national government by creating separate branches, allowing amendments, and giving powers like taxation and regulation of commerce.
US History Ch 8.2
The document summarizes problems that arose under the Articles of Confederation, including a lack of respect for the national government, economic troubles, and internal rebellions. Congress had little power and could not regulate trade between states or collect taxes. Individual states issued conflicting commercial policies. Farmers in Massachusetts revolted in Shays' Rebellion due to debt and inflation. This highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles and led states to call for a new Constitutional Convention to strengthen the national government.
Forming a united states 83
America's first national government under the Articles of Confederation was very weak. It gave
too much power to the states and too little to the central government. As a result, states fought
with each other over taxes and currency, and rebellions like Shays' Rebellion broke out when
the government could not enforce order. In response, delegates met at the Constitutional
Convention to draft a new governing document that created a stronger federal system with
separation of powers among three branches of government. However, they disagreed on issues
like representation and slavery, leading to the Great Compromise that created a bicameral
legislature with proportional and equal representation between the houses.
Chap02
The document summarizes the key events in early American political history and the development of the US government. It discusses how the colonists brought concepts of limited and representative government from England. It then covers the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, leading to the Constitutional Convention and debates between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. The Constitution was eventually ratified after compromises were reached, and the new government under George Washington was inaugurated in New York in 1789.
