UNIT I – Foundations of American Government Day 2 Failure to Compromise UNIT I – Foundations of American Government Day 2

What is compromise? Write a definition in your own words

LOYALIST PATRIOT Which would you be? 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

Which would you be? LOYALIST PATRIOT Pros Cons Pros Cons

How did the colonists try to compromise? 1st Continental Congress When was the 1st Continental Congress held? Where was it held? Which colony was the only to not send delegates (representatives for the colony? Delegates were split with their purpose of attending the meeting. What were the two outcomes that individuals had? What was one task that everyone agreed upon? What did the colonists vow to do if their grievances were not met? Which law was put into effect while delegates were meeting? How did this law change the original goal of the colonists?

How did the colonists try to compromise? 2nd Continental Congress When was the 2nd Continental Congress held? Where was it held? What events took place the prompted (caused) the second meeting? What was created with the purpose of fighting against the British and how would it be paid for? What was the purpose of the Olive Branch Petition? What was King George III’s reaction to the petition? What effect did the hiring of Hessian mercenaries have on the colonists? What was the final outcome of the 2nd Continental Congress?

Do you think the colonists did enough to try to compromise? Is there anything else they could have done? Too Late to Apologize

Now which would you be? LOYALIST PATRIOT Why? Why?

Declaration of Independence 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

Complete Declaration Activities! Time for some fun…kinda

Our NEW Government! AoC Clause 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

Oh No! This won’t work 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

What do we do now? 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!
