The United States Constitution was written in 1787 in Philadelphia in response to weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation. It was drafted primarily by James Madison and established a stronger federal government with three branches and a system of checks and balances. While an improvement, some argue it is outdated and in need of revisions to better protect citizens' rights and clarify procedures.

The document summarizes the views of Federalists and Anti-Federalists during the ratification of the US Constitution. Anti-Federalists opposed a strong central government and feared it would ignore individual rights and the interests of the majority. Notable Anti-Federalists included Patrick Henry and George Mason. Federalists supported the Constitution and a stronger national government as outlined in the Federalist Papers by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay. They felt the Articles of Confederation gave states too much power at the expense of effective national governance.

The Magna Carta, English Bill of Rights, and Mayflower Compact influenced the development of American government by establishing ideas of limited monarchal power, basic citizen rights and legislative consent, and self-government through laws made by the people, respectively. The Magna Carta established property rights and trial by jury. The English Bill of Rights kept the king from unilateral lawmaking and established legislative power and citizen rights. The Mayflower Compact was the colonists' first attempt at self-governance.

The document discusses the concept of federalism in the US government. It describes how federalism is established in the US Constitution through the separation and sharing of powers between the federal and state governments. It outlines the major powers granted to each level of government, and how federalism has evolved over time from a stricter separation of powers to a more cooperative relationship between federal and state authorities. Both advantages and criticisms of federalism are presented.

The document discusses the Necessary and Proper Clause of the U.S. Constitution and several Supreme Court cases that have interpreted the scope of congressional power under this clause.

Comstock and Gonzalez v. Raich further expanded Congress's authority, finding that laws need only be rationally related to or able to substantially affect interstate commerce to be considered "necessary and proper." The document analyzes how these rulings have contributed to an increasing liberal interpretation of congressional power over time.

Commerce clause
The document summarizes the historical expansion of Congress's power under the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution. It began as a reaction to limitations under the Articles of Confederation to ensure free trade between states. Through Supreme Court cases like Gibbons v. Ogden in the 1800s, Congressional power grew to regulate interstate economic activities. By the 1900s, Progressive Era court decisions interpreted the clause broadly to allow regulation of industries, labor, and civil rights. More recently, some rulings have reined it in regarding non-economic local crimes.

1.2 day 1 freedom vs. security
The document summarizes key information about the Articles of Confederation and its weaknesses:
1) The Articles of Confederation created a very weak central government that gave most power to the individual states. This was done intentionally by the newly independent American states who wanted to avoid another strong central authority like the British monarchy.
2) However, the weak central government created under the Articles had several detrimental effects. Congress lacked power to tax, regulate trade between states, or enforce laws. Amendments required unanimous approval which was nearly impossible.
3) Debate between large and small states over representation in Congress also highlighted weaknesses. The Constitution was drafted as an improvement, creating a stronger central government with three branches but also a

Greece has a rugged landscape with many mountains, making transportation difficult and farming limited. This geography encouraged the Greeks to become skilled sailors and traders. They traded goods like olive oil and pottery to acquire necessities like grain.

- 1. The United States Constitution Melinda Roberts
- 2. U.S. Constitution Compelling questions about what really went on with the US Constitution strike all of us every one in awhile. So really, what is the constitution? What is it really all about? How did it have such a huge impact on our country and how did it even come into effect? Revealed in the next slides, are the answers to all of your lifelong questions.
- 3. When? The United States Constitution was written in 1787. However, the Constitution didn’t take effect until 1789.
- 4. Created by… The Constitution was created by the Second Continental Congress. But was mostly written and created by James Madison.
- 5. And why exactly…? The Constitution was created because of demand for a stronger, more effective national government. People such as large property owners, merchants, traders and other creditors took the lead in efforts for a stronger government. The movement for this change began to take shape in 1785. Basically, the Articles had created a government that was unable to deal with the nation’s growing troubles.
- 6. Events Leading To… Maryland and Virginia started a conference to initiate change which was the beginning of what we know today as the United States Constitution. Leading up to the creation of the Constitution was the Articles creating their own form of government which failed, and the growing need for a stronger, more stable government.
- 7. Written Where…? The United States Constitution was written in the Philadelphia State House. It was not written in Delaware as some people have been led to think.
- 9. The Magna Carta – The Magna Carta was the first document to enact something that resembled checks and balances within the government to keep one person or branch from having too much power.
- 10. The English Bill of Rights – This document stated such things as free voting, prohibiting a standing army in peacetime, the right to a free trial, and freedom from excessive bail and from cruel and unusual punishment.
