Constitutional Convention
The Constitutional Convention was held from May 25, 1787 to September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia to address the shortcomings of the Articles of Confederation and create a stronger federal government. Delegates debated plans such as the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, and Connecticut Compromise. They established a new Constitution with three branches of government and a system of checks and balances. The Great Compromise combined elements of the first two plans to create a bicameral legislature. The Three-Fifths Compromise counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for representation. The new Constitution was ratified in 1788.

Creating The Constitution
After the American Revolution, the states experimented with different forms of government and adopted republic systems where citizens elected representatives. The Articles of Confederation served as the first national government but it was weak, leaving most power to the states. This led to issues like Shays' Rebellion. At the Constitutional Convention, the Founding Fathers worked to address challenges in creating a stronger national government that balanced state and federal power. They developed the Virginia Plan which established the three branches of government and a bicameral legislature.

Constitutional Convention
The Constitutional Convention was called in Philadelphia in 1787 to replace the Articles of Confederation with a new framework for government. Delegates debated plans for the structure of Congress, with the Great Compromise creating a bicameral legislature. They also compromised on counting slaves in population for representation. The three branches of government - legislative, executive, judicial - were established, along with plans for amending the Constitution. After signing, the battle began over ratification, with Federalists supporting and Anti-Federalists opposing the new Constitution. By 1790, nine of the 13 states had ratified and the new government was put into effect.
Great Compromise
The document discusses the Virginia and New Jersey Plans debated at the Constitutional Convention and their compromise. The Virginia Plan proposed three branches of government and two houses in Congress based on state population, worrying small states. The New Jersey Plan kept three branches but a single-house Congress with each state getting one vote. The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature with the House based on population and the Senate giving two seats to each state.
Federal Vs State Governments GOVT201IP1
The document discusses the differences between federal and state governments in the United States. It explains that the federal government was created by the Constitution to have balanced powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Some exclusive federal powers include printing money, declaring war, and regulating interstate commerce. State governments have exclusive powers such as issuing licenses, conducting local elections, and providing public health and safety. Both levels of government share some powers like setting up courts and taxation. When state and federal laws overlap, the federal government typically has supremacy and the Supreme Court can make final decisions on jurisdictional issues between the levels of government.
Creating the constitution
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established procedures for governing new western territories acquired by the United States under the Treaty of Paris in 1783. It provided for territorial governors and outlawed slavery in the territories. The Articles of Confederation failed because it did not allow the federal government to collect taxes, issue currency, or act effectively, making it weak. Americans were concerned about Shays' Rebellion as it showed Congress could not defend the country and they feared the new nation was falling apart.

It describes how the Articles of Confederation created a weak national government and led states to call a Constitutional Convention in 1787. The framers drafted a new Constitution with three branches of federal government and a system of checks and balances. It was debated by Federalists who supported it and Antifederalists concerned with states' rights. Massachusetts' ratification led to the addition of the Bill of Rights with the first ten amendments protecting individual liberties.

Statehood Power
The Articles of Confederation was the first system of government used by the United States after declaring independence. It established a weak central government with limited powers and no authority to tax, while states retained most control. Recognizing its ineffectiveness, delegates met at the Constitutional Convention and created a new constitution establishing a stronger federal government with three branches and a system of checks and balances between national and state powers.

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
1.2 day 2 freedom vs. security
The document summarizes the debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over ratifying the US Constitution. It describes key points:
1) Federalists supported a strong central government and argued it was needed to prevent political disorder, protect from enemies, and solve domestic problems. Anti-Federalists wanted more state power and inclusion of a Bill of Rights.
2) The Constitutional Convention drafted a new Constitution in 1787 to replace the failing Articles of Confederation. Ratification was disputed with Federalists and Anti-Federalists advocating different viewpoints.
3) Federalists eventually agreed to add a Bill of Rights to gain support, and the states all ratified the new Constitution by 1789. The debate
Chapter 4, S3 & Chapter 5
1) The document summarizes key events from the American Revolution through the drafting and ratification of the US Constitution, including the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constitutional Convention, and addition of the Bill of Rights.
2) It describes problems that arose under the Articles of Confederation, including a lack of national unity and federal power, which led to calls for a stronger central government.
3) At the Constitutional Convention, delegates debated issues of representation and the separation of powers, resulting in compromises like the Connecticut Compromise and Three-Fifths Compromise.
Principles of the Constitution
The document discusses several important principles established in the US Constitution, including separation of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches; checks and balances between the branches; federalism which shares power between the federal and state governments; and the Bill of Rights which protects individual liberties and rights.
Ratifying the constituon
The Constitution reflects the times in which it was written in several ways:
- It established a stronger central government than under the Articles of Confederation, which had proved too weak during the 1780s. However, it balanced this strength with checks and balances to avoid concentrating too much power.
- There was debate over how much power to give the federal government versus retaining power for the states. The Federalists favored a stronger national government while the Anti-Federalists wanted to preserve more state power and autonomy.
- Issues like slavery and the rights of states were controversial but compromises had to be made to get the Constitution ratified, so some issues were left ambiguous or unaddressed to allow for future interpretation and development.
Constitutional convention
The Constitutional Convention was called to address issues with the weak central government under the Articles of Confederation. Delegates debated plans for the new government, including the Virginia Plan which proposed a two-house legislature based on population and the New Jersey Plan which proposed one house with equal state representation. The Great Compromise blended these ideas by creating a bicameral legislature with proportional representation in the House and two senators per state in the Senate. Additionally, the Three-Fifths Compromise was adopted to determine representation and taxation based on state populations, including counting slaves as three-fifths of a person. The convention also established the executive and judicial branches and a process for electing the president through the Electoral College
3 Compromises at the Constitutional Convention
The document summarizes three major compromises that were made during the creation of the US Constitution: 1) The Great Compromise/Connecticut Compromise established a bicameral Congress with equal representation of states in the Senate and population-based representation in the House. 2) The Three-Fifths Compromise counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for population counts. 3) The Commerce Compromise gave Congress power to regulate trade but not tax exports and allowed the President to make treaties with Senate approval.

It outlines some of the major compromises reached at the Constitutional Convention, such as the Connecticut Compromise on representation and the Three-Fifths Compromise. The document also briefly discusses some of the influences on the Framers like political writings of the time and their experiences, as well as the varying reactions to the completed Constitution.
A c 2 us chapter 2a
- After the American Revolution, there was debate around the appropriate balance of power between the federal government and state governments. Some supported stronger federal power while others favored state power.
- The Articles of Confederation, the nation's first constitution, gave most power to the states. However, it proved ineffective, lacking mechanisms for taxation and enforcement of laws. This led to events like Shays' Rebellion that alarmed many.
- At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, delegates worked to address weaknesses in the Articles through compromise. The bicameral legislature and other aspects of the new Constitution aimed to balance federal and state power.
U2 d7 overview of the constitution
The document provides an overview of the US Constitution, outlining its 7 original articles that describe the legislative, executive, and judicial branches and the relationship between states and the federal government. It also discusses key principles of federalism, separation of powers, checks and balances, and enumerated, concurrent, implied and reserved powers. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights. While changing the Constitution is difficult, it remains flexible through interpretation and amendment, with 27 total amendments added since its ratification in 1788.
Feds vs. antifeds
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.
Us political system
The document provides background information on the American political system, including key events like the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the writing of the US Constitution. It then summarizes the main principles and structure of the Constitution, outlining the separation of powers and checks and balances between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches as defined in Articles I-III. The summary also notes that James Madison is considered the key author and discusses reasons like weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation that led to the writing of the new Constitution.

AHSGE Social Studies Ch.3 The United States Government
The document summarizes key aspects of the origins and structure of the United States government. It discusses influential political philosophers like Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu and how they influenced the creation of the US system. It also outlines the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, the drafting of the Constitution at the Constitutional Convention, and the three branches of government established under the new framework.
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.
Constitutional compromises and plans new
The Articles of Confederation established the first constitution of the United States and a system of cooperation among the 13 independent states, but it had several weaknesses including that Congress had limited powers and required unanimous state approval for any changes. At the Constitutional Convention, the Virginia Plan proposed a stronger federal government with three branches but larger states having more power, while the New Jersey Plan favored equal state representation. The Great Compromise blended the two plans by creating a bicameral Congress with equal state representation in the Senate and population-based representation in the House. Further compromises included counting three-fifths of slaves for representation and giving Congress power over trade.
Constitution
Here are the key points about the qualifications and terms for Supreme Court Justices:
- Nominated by the President
- No constitutional qualifications, but traditionally have high legal experience
- Confirmed by the Senate
- Serve for life terms (known as having a lifetime appointment)
- Can be impeached by Congress, but very rare
So in summary, the President nominates Justices who then need Senate approval. If approved, they serve lifetime terms on the Court until they choose to retire, pass away, or are impeached. This provides independence from political pressures.
Federalists Papers
This lesson teaches students about the Federalist Papers by having them first discuss current issues and how citizens stay informed. Students then read about the Federalist Papers and the debate around ratifying the Constitution. They break into groups representing Federalists and Anti-Federalists to role play a debate on issues from adopting the Constitution. The lesson aims to explain the arguments in the Federalist Papers for a stronger national government that preserves individual freedoms and rights.

The Federalist Papers (In Modern Language)
Hamilton argues that the Articles of Confederation have failed to establish an effective national government. He calls on citizens to establish a new system through ratifying the proposed Constitution. Failure to do so could endanger national unity, security, and standing in the world. Hamilton plans to publish a series of papers discussing the importance of the Union, the Confederation's inability to preserve it, the need for an energetic national government, the proposal's conformity with republican principles, its similarities to state constitutions, and how ratification will protect liberty and property.
The federalists papers
The document contains excerpts from several Federalist Papers discussing key principles of the US Constitution:
- Federalist 23 by Hamilton describes the main purposes of the Union as common defense, preserving public peace, regulating commerce between states and foreign nations.
- Federalist 47 by Madison states that accumulation of all governmental powers in the same entity results in tyranny.
- Federalist 51 by Madison explains that governmental controls are needed because those who govern are still human and require obligations to control themselves.
- Federalist 72 by Hamilton argues against limiting presidential terms, saying the experience of office makes one wiser in governing nations.
- Federalist 78 by Hamilton maintains an independent judiciary is essential to protect
Introduction to Political Parties in the U.S.
Political parties serve several important functions in democratic governments. The two major parties in the United States are the Republican and Democratic parties. While minor parties exist, the electoral system and election laws tend to reinforce the dominance of the two major parties. Some characteristics that have historically differentiated the two major parties are views on the role of government and which demographic groups they tend to attract more.
American political parties
American political parties have evolved over time from informal affiliations to established organizations. The US system is largely a two-party structure, with the Democratic and Republican parties dominating. Democrats tend to favor an active government role in citizens' lives and progressive change. Republicans prefer a smaller government focused on individual liberties and tradition. While third parties exist, the winner-take-all electoral system favors the two major parties. Political ideologies and party affiliations develop based on social and personal factors.
2011 United States Constitution
The United States Constitution was drafted at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Delegates debated plans for the new government, with James Madison's Virginia Plan proposing a strong federal government prevailing over the New Jersey Plan. The Great Compromise merged the two, creating a bicameral Congress. After ratification, the new government established three branches of power and a system of checks and balances to limit any one branch from becoming too powerful.
Federalist Papers
The document summarizes debates between Federalists and Anti-Federalists regarding the proposed US Constitution in 1787. The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, made the case for ratification. Key Federalist arguments included that a large federal republic would protect liberty better than small republics, and that separating powers among branches of government would prevent tyranny. Anti-Federalists like Brutus argued the Constitution would lead to the destruction of liberty by consolidating power and allowing a standing army. They also felt the presidency would become an elective monarchy and large republics could not remain free.
Political Parties
Political parties are essential for organizing elections and forming governments in a democracy. They reflect societal divisions and allow people to access power through elections by presenting policy platforms. However, political parties face challenges like a lack of internal democracy, dynastic control, and influence of money and muscle power. Reforms are needed to reduce these issues, such as limiting defections, regulating party finances and internal elections, and providing public funding to reduce financial influence. Overall, political parties are a necessary part of democracy but need reforms to strengthen their functioning.

Enlightenment and the Country’s founding
The founding of the country was based in principles in the European enlightenment.
One of the Enlightenment’s goals was to base governance on rationality.
Prior to the Enlightenment, governance was justified through tradition rather than reason.
Locke v Hobbes
Hobbes argued that the rationality for government was to prevent the state of nature.
Hobbes argued that life without the state would be a war between all and nasty, brutish and short. He advocated for a dictator to prevent this.
Locke disagreed. Locke argued that people would rather deal with what he called the mischief of foxes and polecats than to be devoured by lions.
This means that conflicts between individuals are manageable, but a tyrannical state is impossible to avoid.
Locke’s justification for a state is the social contract which is an agreement that the state protects rights. However if a state abuses its people, then it loses its legitimacy.
Locke’s principles drove the American Revolution.
The Revolution
The colonies originally had more freedom to run their own land prior to the Seven Years War (war between France and England).
The colonists were prevented to settle past Appalachia.
To pay back the taxes that resulted from the Seven Years War, England levied taxes on the colonists.
Colonists demanded representation in Parliament.
Stamp Act, (Tax on Paper goods) Townsend Act (Tax on glass, Tea, Paint)
The Colonies boycotted British Manufacturing goods.
Britain sent troops to the colonies, leading to an altercation with the troops known as the Boston Massacre
Britain passed an act that granted a monopoly on the British East India Tea Company, which led to the “Boston Tea Party.”
The Revolution cont.
These acts led to the state of Massachusetts to revolt, followed by the rest of the colonies.
The Declaration of Independence laid out the principles that drove the colonies to revolt against England.
This listed out the ways that Britain abused its power regarding the Social Contract.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”
This quote has driven the ideals in which we govern ourselves.
Articles of Confederation
Immediately following the revolution, the new nation agreed on the Articles of confederation.
The articles of confederation is the governing body that ruled the nation between the end of the Revolution and the creation of the constitution.

US Constitution
The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the United States that provides the framework for the U.S. government and defines its powers. It was drafted in 1787 in Philadelphia in response to weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, including a weak federal government and lack of separation of powers.

Closing the Constitutional Convention
The Constitutional Convention debated issues of representation and voting as they worked to agree on a Constitution. Once signed by 39 of the remaining 42 delegates, the Constitution would need to be ratified by the states. The framers designed a republican form of government inspired by British, Greek, Roman, and Enlightenment influences. They sought to define and limit government powers through a system of separation of powers and checks and balances. Key compromises included the Great Compromise on representation and the Three-Fifths Compromise on counting slaves for population.
Constitution
The Great Compromise resolved disagreements between large and small states over representation in Congress. It created a bicameral legislature with two chambers - the Senate where every state gets two seats, and the House of Representatives where seats are allocated based on state population. This balanced the interests of both large and small states. The compromise also included the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for representation. These compromises helped ensure ratification of the new U.S. Constitution.

It summarizes the key aspects of the first 10 amendments, which address rights like freedom of speech, religion, press, trial by jury, etc. It also summarizes amendments addressing the aftermath of slavery (13th abolishing slavery, 14th guaranteeing rights, 15th giving voting rights), amendments from the Progressive Era addressing taxes and voting rights, and amendments on presidential elections and terms. It notes some amendments were in response to unique historical circumstances or addressed informal changes to the Constitution over time.
Progressive movement new standards
The document discusses the goals and outcomes of the Progressive Era reform movements from the late 19th to early 20th centuries in the United States. It focuses on urban reforms, business regulations, antitrust laws, education reforms, and child labor laws. Theodore Roosevelt helped restore the presidency as a progressive reformer and promised a "square deal." His administration enforced antitrust laws and enacted regulations like the Pure Food and Drug Act to protect consumers. Woodrow Wilson later continued reforms through acts establishing the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission, regulating child labor and establishing the eight hour work day for railroads.
Institutionalized racism
This document discusses institutionalized racism in post-Reconstruction America. After the Civil War amendments granted citizenship and voting rights to African Americans, white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan used violence and intimidation to strip these rights away. The Supreme Court upheld "separate but equal" policies like Jim Crow laws, legitimizing racial segregation and discrimination until 1954. Opposition arose from leaders like Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Ida B. Wells, but institutionalized racism remained entrenched.
Immigration

Claims and evidence immigration
This document provides instruction on writing claims, evidence, and reasoning. It defines a claim as a statement that answers a question or states an opinion. Evidence is defined as facts that support a claim. Reasoning is a justification for how the evidence supports the claim using facts or data. An example is provided of a claim about harsh conditions faced by Chinese immigrants, supported by evidence of a riot targeting Chinese residents and reasoning about further discrimination through the Chinese Exclusion Act.
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.
Declaration of independence

The korean war1
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, leading the United States to intervene on behalf of South Korea in order to contain the spread of communism. After initial setbacks, U.S. General MacArthur launched a surprise attack that pushed North Korean forces back to the border, but then advanced further north, which prompted China to enter the war in support of North Korea. The conflict ultimately ended in a stalemate along the original border between North and South Korea.

Postwar Prosperity
The document discusses several major domestic and cultural developments in the United States after World War II, including postwar prosperity, McCarthyism and the Red Scare, fears of nuclear war and communism, and the rise of rock and roll music. Truman and Eisenhower pursued various domestic policies aimed at full employment, aid to farmers, and affordable housing to sustain postwar prosperity. McCarthyism and the Red Scare led to suspicions of communism in politics and entertainment. Fears of nuclear war were heightened by development of the hydrogen bomb and civil defense drills. Rock and roll music emerged as a form of rebellion against social conformity exemplified by lyrics like Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven."
Immigration
The document provides background information on European immigration to the United States between 1865 and 1915.

New Deal
The document outlines several New Deal agencies created by President Roosevelt to provide relief for the unemployed, reform unfair practices, and promote recovery from the Great Depression including the CCC, WPA, PWA, NRA, FDIC, AAA, NLRB, SEC, SSA, and TVA with each focusing on relief, reform or recovery through job creation projects, regulating markets and business practices, and establishing social programs.
Great Depression
The Great Depression of the 1930s was caused by a stock market crash in 1929 and subsequent bank failures and business closures that led to mass unemployment across the United States. Rural areas were especially hard hit, with families losing their farms and homes during the Dust Bowl droughts and dust storms that ravaged the plains. Millions were left homeless and unemployed, living in shanty towns, while minorities faced discrimination with African Americans and Mexican Americans disproportionately impacted.

Finally, it distinguishes between bias, which involves strong opinions not always backed by evidence, and facts, which can be proven with evidence to support statements of truth.
The War At Home W W I
The United States initially adopted a policy of neutrality in World War I. However, several factors led the U.S. to enter the war in 1917, including German attacks on American ships and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram proposing a German-Mexican alliance against the U.S. American involvement had significant impacts at home, such as increased war production, rationing of food and materials, growth of unions, and greater roles for women. U.S. forces under General Pershing helped achieve an Allied victory in 1918 through fighting alongside French troops.
