UNIT I – Foundations of American Government Day 2

Write a definition in your own words

LOYALIST PATRIOT  Loyal to Great Britain and the crown  Did NOT want to fight for independence  Frustrations with Great Britain were too great  Were ready to move forward and become and independent nation

 1 st Continental Congress ◦ Held in 1774 in Philadelphia ◦ GA was the only to not send a delegate ◦ Didn’t all want the same goal, some wanted independence while others wanted reconciliation ◦ They did agree to at least tell the King why they were upset ◦ If things didn’t get better, they would meet in a year.

 2 nd Continental Congress ◦ Held in Philadelphia in 1775 ◦ Battles in Lexington and Concord prompted a new spirit of independence among most members ◦ Created an army and started printing own money ◦ Sent the Olive Branch Petition for one last ditch effort at a peaceful resolution ◦ King George declared the colonies to be in a state of rebellion ◦ Finally decided to write the Declaration of Independence

Is there anything else they could have done? Too Late to Apologize

 Written by Thomas Jefferson (with help from Ben Franklin and John Adams)  Signed on July 4, 1776  Independence still had to be won with the American Revolution  During this time, the founding fathers put together our first government: The Articles of Confederation

Time for some fun…kinda

AoC ClauseWhy? No president No national judicial branch Legislative branch (Congress) included members from all states Congress cannot tax the people Passing a law required 9 of the 13 states to agree Changing the AoC took all 13 states to agree

AoC Weaknesses!!!!!Why? No president No national judicial branch Legislative branch (Congress) included members from all states Congress cannot tax the people Passing a law required 9 of the 13 states to agree Changing the AoC took all 13 states to agree

 An event known as Shays’ Rebellion occurred causing many to realize that the new AoC were not going to work.  A small group of farmers caused chaos in Massachusetts over land taxes and the new government couldn’t put down this simple rebellion…how would they defend themselves against other countries?!?  This led to our next chapter…the writing of the U.S. Constitution!
