3.2 launching the new nation [1789 1816]
Washington reluctantly accepted the presidency and had to establish the new government's structure and policies with little precedent to guide them. Hamilton and Jefferson debated federal powers, with Hamilton favoring a strong national government supported by wealthy creditors and Jefferson emphasizing states' rights and individual liberties. The establishment of political parties and Hamilton's economic plans laid the foundation for how the new American government would function.

Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.
The New Nation, 1781-1797: Confederation and Washington
The document discusses the early years of the United States under the Articles of Confederation and George Washington's presidency. Key events include the Treaty of Paris in 1783, state constitutions granting varying rights, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 establishing steps to statehood, and Hamilton's economic plans which divided Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. Washington asserted national authority by suppressing the Whiskey Rebellion and established important precedents as the first president.
Constitutional Convention Project
The Constitutional Convention was called in 1787 in Philadelphia to address weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, including the inability to levy taxes or regulate commerce. Delegates debated plans like the Virginia Plan, which proposed a strong federal government with two legislative chambers, and the New Jersey Plan, which proposed a weaker federal government with one chamber. They ultimately agreed to the Connecticut Compromise, which blended elements of both plans and established the bicameral legislature seen in today's Congress.

Young - Task, Nullification Crisis
The passage discusses the Nullification Crisis that arose from tensions over tariffs in the early 19th century. Tariffs were implemented by the federal government both to generate revenue and protect domestic industries, but they were opposed by Southern agrarian states as they increased prices and benefited Northern manufacturers. This led John C. Calhoun and others to argue for the doctrine of nullification, which held that states could declare federal laws unconstitutional. The crisis came to a head over the "Tariff of Abominations" of 1828, leading South Carolina to threaten secession. Henry Clay helped broker a compromise tariff in 1833 to resolve the issue, but tensions between states' rights and federal authority remained unresolved and foreshadowed future

The Constitutional Convention was held in 1787 to address weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, including that the federal government was too weak and amendments required unanimous approval. Key debates included the Virginia Plan supported by large states versus the New Jersey Plan backed by small states, which was resolved by the Great Compromise creating a bicameral legislature. The 3/5 Compromise also addressed representation of slaves. Key figures included Washington, Madison, Hamilton, and others who helped shape the new Constitution and federal system of government.

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.
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.
9the federalist era
The document summarizes the development of political parties during the Federalist Era in the United States. It explains that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson disagreed on economic and foreign policy issues, as well as the degree of power held by the federal government. These disagreements led to the formation of the first two political parties - the Federalists led by Hamilton and the Republicans led by Jefferson. The election of 1796 was the first in which presidential candidates openly identified with political parties, with John Adams elected as the Federalist candidate and Thomas Jefferson becoming Vice President as the Republican candidate.
We, the Sheeple Vs. the Banksters
The document is a call to action against "the banksters" who are waging a war against the American people. It argues that through the Federal Reserve and other means, banks have taken control of the government and are orchestrating events like economic crises to consolidate power and wealth while impoverishing citizens. It calls on people to recognize this situation and resist the oppression of the banks before they achieve a stranglehold that cannot be escaped.

The document provides information about early U.S. censuses and city populations from 1790 to 1810. It states that the first U.S. census in 1790 was required by the Constitution to determine taxation and congressional representation. It counted free people and excluded Native Americans, counting "three-fifths of all other Persons," likely referring to slaves. A table shows the populations of several U.S. cities grew substantially between 1790 and 1810, with New York growing the most and Boston growing the least.
The Great Fraud of 1930–33
The document summarizes the fraudulent bankruptcy of the United States government in the 1930s and the deception used to claim ownership over American citizens and their assets.
Key points:
- In 1930, the US declared bankruptcy at the Geneva Conventions and removed from the gold standard.
- In 1933, FDR pursued domestic bankruptcy and confiscated privately held American gold, totaling over 20,000 tons.
- Birth certificates were issued to claim Americans as property and pledge their labor and assets to pay government debts. This established an "implied contract" without proper disclosure or consent.
- Through legal trickery and semantic deceit, the US government unlawfully seized control of American assets and estates from 1933 to 1999
We, the Sheeple Vs. The Banksters (short version)
Quotations from former Presidents, Senators, Economists, and highly respected people whose reputations and credibility have withstood the test of time provide the proof that illuminates THE TRUTH of what is happening in our country right now! Insiders at the Fed, the largest Banks and Wall Street are hijacking our country right before our eyes while we are engaged in petty bickering - exactly what they want us to do for it diverts our attention and thus dilutes our power. If you care about your country and this world, it is time to unite, learn what is REALLY happening and help to make a difference!
Constitutional Convention Project
After the Revolutionary War, America faced large debts and economic troubles. The Articles of Confederation proved too weak to address these problems. Events like Shays' Rebellion showed the need for a stronger national government. In response, the Constitutional Convention was held in 1787 to revise the Articles. Key delegates like Madison, Sherman, and Paterson proposed plans addressing issues like representation and federal power, leading to compromises that shaped the new Constitution.
The Creation of New Governments
After the American Revolution, the original 13 colonies formed their own state constitutions. Many developed the idea that a constitution should be created by special convention and be superior to the legislature. The Articles of Confederation, drafted by John Dickinson, created a weak national government that preserved state sovereignty. It gave Congress few powers and required unanimous consent for amendments. Major problems included financial troubles, lack of taxing authority, and uprisings like Shay's Rebellion, demonstrating the need for a stronger national government.
A.p. ch 10 p.p
The first 12 years of independent America were turbulent, as the new nation struggled with a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation. Finances were precarious with a large public debt and scarce hard currency. When the Constitution was ratified in 1789, establishing a stronger federal authority, the new American government had to address unfinished business by guaranteeing individual rights through the Bill of Rights. However, political divisions emerged between Federalists like Hamilton, who favored a strong central government, and Democratic-Republicans like Jefferson, who emphasized states' rights, foreshadowing the emergence of America's first political parties.
ROYAL FAMILY ASSET SETTLEMENTS
The document discusses the ancient royal families known as "The Royals" who have historically owned and managed global assets and land. It warns of several violations of the keepership agreements between The Royals and those managing assets, including attacks on royal assets in Syria and Iraq, unauthorized exposure and sale of assets, and potential use of weapons of mass destruction. It declares imminent loss of keepership for any parties involved in these violations and instructs all asset holders to process settlements only through the Royal Imperial International Court of Justice.
Monetary Treason
The document discusses the concepts of monetary treason and how central banking systems have been used to undermine sovereign nations and transfer wealth to private bankers. It provides several quotes from historical figures such as Lenin, Keynes, Warburg, and Lincoln warning about how central banks can destroy currencies and economies through mechanisms like inflation and taxation. The overall message is that the Federal Reserve System allows private bankers to gain control over a nation's monetary system and profit through creating money out of nothing and charging interest on loans to governments.
Washington
During Washington's presidency as the first president of the United States:
1) The judiciary Act of 1789 created the Supreme Court and established its power of judicial review.
2) Hamilton established an ambitious financial program that included funding the national debt, establishing the national bank, and implementing an excise tax on whiskey that led to the Whiskey Rebellion.
3) Political parties began emerging, with the Federalists supporting a strong central government and the Republicans advocating for states' rights, foreshadowing future partisan divisions.
Chapter 9
The Articles of Confederation failed to provide a sufficient constitution for America for several reasons:
1) Congress had no power to enforce laws or collect taxes from the states, leaving the government without money or means to pay debts.
2) The structure of equal representation for each state in Congress, regardless of population size, led to conflicts between large and small states.
3) Economic disputes between states with ports and those without convenient ports caused dissatisfaction and discord.
The new Constitution was proposed to address these critical flaws by creating a stronger federal government with balanced powers between states and the central authority.
We, the Sheeple Vs. the Banksters
The document is a call to action against "the banksters" who control the privately-owned Federal Reserve system. It argues that the Federal Reserve and largest banks have orchestrated events like the financial crisis and Great Recession to consolidate power and wealth for themselves at the expense of the American people. It claims they have deliberately engineered crises to infiltrate the government and seize control over the country through mechanisms like creating money from nothing and charging interest on loans to the government.
A.p. ch 9 p.p
1) Following the American Revolution, two important tasks faced the new nation: creating a central government and determining how it would operate. However, the Articles of Confederation, which were adopted in 1781, provided a weak central government with little power over the states.
2) Economically, the new nation faced challenges like inflation, heavy taxation, and loss of trade with Britain. However, manufacturing grew during this period as Americans were forced to produce goods for themselves.
3) The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a system for new states to enter the union and guaranteed basic civil liberties, establishing important precedents for governing the western territories.
Declaration & constitution
The document provides an overview of key events and documents in the founding of the United States, including the Continental Congresses, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution. It discusses the philosophical and political importance of the Declaration of Independence in establishing the principles of the new nation. It also describes problems that arose under the Articles of Confederation that led to calls for a stronger federal government as outlined in the Constitution.

The Constitutional Convention was called in 1787 in Philadelphia to address weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, including the inability to levy taxes or regulate commerce. Delegates debated plans like the Virginia Plan, which proposed a strong federal government with two legislative chambers, and the New Jersey Plan, which proposed a weaker federal government with one chamber. A key compromise was the Three-Fifths Compromise to determine representation of slaves in the population. The Convention ultimately produced the U.S. Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation.

Essay The Articles Of Confederation
The document discusses the Articles of Confederation, which was the first attempt at a federal government for the United States after independence from Britain.
