COMING OF INDEP. Con’t 1777 – Articles of Confederation Effective – 1781 BUT……. They were not very good…

Articles of Confederation Weaknesses One vote per State No taxation No power to regulate foreign/interstate trade No executive No court system Amendment only with consent of all States 9/13 Majority to pass laws Only a “firm league of friendship”

Philadelphia Convention Independence Hall is, by every estimate, the birthplace of the United States. It was within its walls that the Declaration of Independence was adopted. It was here that the Constitution of the United States was debated, drafted and signed. That document is the oldest federal constitution in existence and was framed by a convention of delegates from 12 of the original 13 colonies. Rhode Island did not send a delegate. George Washington presided over the debate which ran from May to September 1787. The draft comprising a preamble and seven Articles, was submitted to all thirteen states and was to take effect when ratified by nine states. On June 21, 1788, New Hampshire, the ninth state, approved it and it became effective in March 1789.
