Presentation transcript:

Chapter 5 Section 3 Shaping a New Nation

Representation Early Plans for Representation Virginia Plan: Representation would be based on each states population (more people = more representatives) New Jersey Plan: Representation would be based on equality (each state gets the same number of reps) Great Compromise (Connecticut Compromise) Created by Roger Sherman Senate: All states have 2 senators House of Representatives: States with more people get more representatives (Iowa has 4, California has 53)

Slavery Debate Debate over counting of slaves 3/5 Compromise Southern states wanted all of their slaves counted towards a their states population Northern states did not want any of the slaves counted Both sides are trying to get more of a say in the new government 3/5 Compromise A slave would be counted as 3/5 of a total person in the census (counting of people). Slave trade in Washington DC would be eliminated in 20 years

Ratifying the Constitution Set of laws and principles that explain how our government works. Passing the Constitution Ratify: To approve the Constitution (needed 9 of 13 original states to pass it) Not everyone was in favor of the new government Main Issue: People were scared of the new power of the government because there were no basic individual rights included.

Differing Views Anti-Federalists Federalists People that opposed ratifying the Constitution Thought the National Government had too much power and the citizens would be threatened (like GB) Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams Federalists People that wanted to ratify the Constitution Liked the balance of power between State and National Levels George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton
