The Critical Period After the Revolutionary War, 1781 Articles of Confederation & The Constitution

Critical Period 1780s The Revolutionary War ended (1781) Treaty of Paris was signed (1783) Problems caused by the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation surfaced.

First State Governments Emerged with the revolution Created their own constitutions Had the following in common: Popular Sovereignty Govt exists with the consent of the governed Limited Government (Rule of Law) Separation of Powers & Checks and Balances within State governments Civil Rights and Liberties Majority Rule Voting = white men, pay taxes or property owning

Articles of Confederation Ratified by states 1781 (4 years after approval in Congress!) Friendship between states Each state = 1 vote (regardless of size) Unicameral congress established (no executive or judicial branch) Congress would choose presiding officer each year Representative democracy Delegates were chosen by whatever means the state decided States obligated to government, must support it for it to be successful but no real commitment

Mending the Articles of Confederation No power to tax No power to regulate trade among states or w/ other countries Congress was one house, w/ each state having one vote 9/13 states to pass laws 13/13 to amend Articles No enforcement or dispute settlement branch Each state had own currency States could ignore Congress’ laws League of Friendship Congress power to tax Congress power to regulate trade, interstate & foreign Congress has 2 houses, House based on pop, Senate equal rep Laws passed on simple majority ¾ of states to amend 3 branches: Legislative, Executive & Judicial Congress issues money Constitution “Supreme Law of the Land” Permanent union binding states

Weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation States taxed one another’s goods, some banned trade. Shays’ Rebellion Founders decided a new plan/government was necessary! Led to the constitutional convention in 1787 Sent US into a “Critical Period” in the 1780s

Need for a Stronger Gov’t A group of 55 delegates met in Philadelphia at Independence Hall- later became known as the Constitutional Convention.

The Framers of the Constitution All were men, all were white, avg. age was 42 31 had gone to college List included James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Ben Franklin- who was 81 They adopted a rule of secrecy. 13

Father of the Constitution James Madison is known as the father of the Constitution because he was the conventions floor leader, he contributed more than most, and because he kept a close record of the proceedings. 14

Sources the Framers used to write the Constitution Commentaries on the Laws of England - William Balckstone The Spirit of the Laws - the Baron de Montesquieu Social Contract - Jacques Rousseau Two Treatises of Government – John Locke
