Unit 2 Review

Articles of Confederation They were weak. They could not tax. There was no central government. They couldn’t enforce their own laws because there was no President.

Shays Rebellion Shays was a former Revolutionary soldier who returned home from his farm. He was upset about the high taxes he and his fellow veterans had to pay. He started a rebellion to overthrow the government of Massachusetts, but the rebellion was put down. This rebellion showed the weakness of the Articles because they couldn’t enforce their laws well.

Virginia Plan It was a plan for representation in the Legislative Branch. It said representation should be based on population.

Representation should be based on equality. New Jersey Plan Representation should be based on equality.

Great Compromise Legislative Branch would have 2 Houses. The House of Representatives would be based on population. The Senate would be based on equality, every state gets two Senators.

Executive Branch The Executive Branch of the government is the President’s branch. This is the branch that is in charge of enforcing the laws.

Federalists and Anti-Federalists Federalists wanted a strong central government. Federalists did not want the Bill of Rights. Anti-Federalists wanted a weak central government Anti-Federalists wanted the Bill of Rights.

Washington’s “Cabinet.” This was a group of advisors to Washington. They would meet regularly to discuss the affairs of the nation and give Washington advice on what to do.

Farmers were upset with the new tax on whiskey so they rebelled. Whiskey Rebellion Farmers were upset with the new tax on whiskey so they rebelled. Washington personally led troops to put down the rebellion. This demonstrates the ability of the Executive Branch to enforce laws.

Washington’s Farewell Address He warns us about two things Stay out of European affairs, don’t make alliances with them Don’t start political parties.

Federalists They support the Constitution Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist Federalists were usually rich, and usually lived in Northern cities.

Democratic-Republicans They were in favor of a strict interpretation of the Constitution. They were afraid of rich people getting too much power. They usually lived in the country, and were often farmers. Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic Republican.

“Checks and Balances” This means that all three branches of government have powers over the others. This means that no one branch will become too powerful.

3/5 Compromise This said that slaves would count at 3/5 of a person as far as your representation for government goes. The Southern Sates had wanted them to count as a full person. The Northern States had wanted them to count as 0 person.

The Election of 1776. Back then, whomever got the most votes was President, whomever got the second most votes was Vice President. John Adams won, and he was a Federalist. Thomas Jefferson came in second, and he was a Demo-Republican. This meant that the President and Vice President were of different parties, and they also hated each other.

Proclamation of Neutrality This was made by Washington and it said that America was officially neutral and that we were going to stay out of European affairs.

Pinckney’s Treaty Made a deal with the British to stop messing with out ships and to move their troops out of the Northwest Territories.
