Presentation transcript:

 The Setting of the Philadelphia Convention  Early decision to re-write, rather than tinker with the Articles of Confederation  Open agreement secretly arrived at--Washington's plea

 Intent of the Convention  Economic --Charles Beard--protect property rights and make America safe from democracy.  Idealistic--make a perfect Union  Pragmatic--dealing with the question of sovereignty. Placing common interests over regional or personal concerns.

 The Participants  55 delegates from 12 states  Young (average age 42), professional (over half were lawyers), men of economic substance  Many were Revolutionary War veterans  Absent: Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, other Revolutionary War heroes.

 Key Participants  Washington--president of the convention  Madison--researched every previous republic  Large republic is not only possible, it's preferred  Popularly elected officials with sovereignty in the hands of the people, not the states  Franklin--81 years old. The steadying influence

 Virginia Plan or Large States Plan (Edmund Randolph)  2 house legislature with representation based on population for both  President and courts chosen by legislature  New Jersey Plan (William Patterson)  Congress with each state having l vote  separate executive and judicial branches  increased powers of Congress

 Great Compromise (bicameral legislature representing both people and states)  Lower house membership dependent on population  Upper house with two members from each state  All revenue bills must begin in lower house

 Three-Fifths Compromise (60% of slaves counted for representation and taxation; no Congressional interference with slavery for 20 years)  Non-slavery states wanted slaves counted for taxation, but not representation and wanted an end to importation of slaves  Slave states wanted slaves counted for representation, but not taxation and no interference with slave trade by the federal government

 Commerce Compromise (no tax on exports, simple majority needed to pass commerce bills)  Cotton and tobacco producing states wanted restriction of taxes on exports and all commerce bills to be passed by a two-thirds vote of Congress  Northern industrial states wanted federal tariffs to keep up out cheaper European products and raise revenues for the government.

 Because of fear of opposition from states, only 9 of the 13 were needed for the Constitution to take effect  Because of opposition from state legislatures, conventions elected by the people were given authority to approve or reject Constitution.

 Federalists vs. Antifederalists  Most Federalists were wealthy and well-educated and sought the creation of a more powerful central government  Most Antifederalists were farmers who were loyal primarily to their state governments  Feared taxation power of federal government  Republican government could not rule a large nation

 Federalist Papers--most influential political literature of the time  Argued that limitations on governmental power were built into the Constitution  Need for strength to earn respect abroad  Promise of Bill of Rights added to the Constitution helped persuade opponents to ratify it.
