Answer 27

How would you put them in your own words?

Answer 28

The war for American independence was, in many ways, a global conflict that involved the American colonies, UK, France, Spain and the Netherlands. The Treaty of Paris as well as the two Treaties of Versailles (1783) recognized this fact. However, you may want to keep in mind that the Treaty of Paris was not a boon for everyone in the American states. The Loyalists for example didn't get their property back (they were supposed to according to the terms but the states weren't exactly falling over themselves), the Native Americans and African Americans had a pretty bad time as a result and even the new states--because they were no longer part of the British empire all of a sudden had to contend with not just the Navigation Acts (they were now competing with British industry) but with the Spanish and the French which wanted a piece of the Americas. So a treaty was great but it hardly solved all the problems.

Answer 29

OK, Articles of Confederation. The impetus for the Articles was the need for foreign aid and recognition. You know how I said that the American Revolution was a global conflict? Well, the Americans wanted to use those global animosities but they could not do so unless they had some sort of government. But you are now talking about establishing a government in the middle of a revolution and by a people who are incredibly suspicious of any kind of centralized authority. So the Articles created the weakest government you can possibly think of that could still be called a government. Government had no power to create money. So each state got to create its own. Government could not regulate inter-state commerce. That was up to the states. Government could not impose taxes; it could ask the states or borrow on credit. There were to be no courts under the Articles and no executive branch. To amend the articles, all 13 states had to agree and to pass a law, 9 out of 13 had to agree. (This was difficult when 9 states would often not even show up!--and you can see why, all the action was in the states.) Each state got one vote. Now, the government could sign treaties on behalf of all the states and it could make recommendations. But you can see how suspicious people were of any kind of centralized power just from looking at the Articles.

Answer 30

OK, Constitution. Now, looking at what the government under the Articles could and couldn't do, you can see how bad it would have been from trade, right? I mean there's no uniform currency, no way to regulate trade--or even to resolve inter-state disputes. And, not surprisingly, there were a lot of inter-state disputes in this time. New Jersey seceded from new York; the State of Franklin wanted to secede from North Carolina. And what did the government do? Not a whole lot. And then there was Shay's Rebellion. You probably heard about it. Many people argue that it was prompted, in part, by lack of hard currency (again, not something the government under the Articles could do anything about) and the Mass militia were not willing to do anything about it. Economic times were tough and they sympathized with the Shayites (is that a word?). Anyway, there's this great story about how George Washington came out of retirement and addressed the rebels and as he stood up he looked for his glasses saying that he lost his eyesight in the service of his country. And the power of Washington, his personal power, was such that he broke up the Rebellion. But notice that the government didn't do it. Now, another thing to note is that if you're a nationalist, Shay's Rebellion came at a great time (1786) because nationalists were arguing just then that a stronger government was needed. And that was a big part of the argument for the Philadelphia Convention from whence we get the Federalist Constitution.

Answer 31

Constitution cont. Now, Madison spent the time preparing for Philadelphia researching all the previous constitutions so when he came to Philadelphia, he came armed with what is called the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan proposed a bi-cameral legislature, three branches: executive, judicial, and courts. So it had the concept of checks and balances built in. And that plan set the terms of the debate. Now, this was a large-state plan so the proposal called for representation according to population; New Jersey Plan called for one state one vote and they compromised on what we now know is each state 2 votes (Senate) and by population (Congress). That's the CT compromise. Anyway, the whole Constitution was a set of compromises: about big states, small states, slavery-but in the end they came out with what is a federalist constitution: so one where the powers were shared between the states and the federal government and where the powers at the federal level were balanced. It was probably as strong a national government as Americans were prepared to accept and, as it was, it had a really tough time getting ratified. Anyway, hope that helped.

Answer 32

One thing I forgot to mention & is pretty important. The Articles were a kind of treaty between the states. And so they created ... a kind of UN. The Constitution is a national government which is why it starts with "We the People"; not we the states but we the people. This is a big deal.

Answer 33

Thank you so much!!! Um did you get this off of any sites and past it or copy?

Answer 34

No and I wouldn't advise you to copy and paste. I was typing it while getting ready to take the dogs out and trying to talk to my husband. So I have words missing, spelling errors, I think I made up a word.. etc.

Answer 35

thank you for your hard work!!! Thanks so much
