To Analyze the opposing viewpoints on ratifying the Constitution.

RATIFICATION What is ratification? Is it? Who knows the answer? I do! What is ratification? Is it? A. The process whereby a single individual rules on behalf of their interests. B. A legislative act to add, delete, or revise a bill or law. C. The act of giving formal consent D. Ummmm, I am still out to lunch!!!!!! Who knows the answer?

RATIFICATION And the answer is……………. C. Ratification is the act of giving formal consent. Q: How does this term apply to the Constitution? Although the Constitution was adopted by the framers on Sept. 17, 1787 – the states needed to formally consent to it = RATIFICATION

RATIFICATION BUT you know this isn’t going to be easy!!!!!!! Problem All the states did not agree (BIG SURPRISE!) Nation quickly divides into two factions Anti-Federalist and Federalists Interesting Note: Only 39 of the 55 delegates that attended the convention actually signed the final document.

RATIFICATION Something missing? Was there something missing from the Constitution? THE PEOPLE - The Constitution was silent in its original form on the rights and protections of the people. WHAT DO WE NEED? A BILL OF RIGHTS to protect the people.

RATIFICATION Essential Question Why was the Bill of Rights necessary for ratification of the U.S. Constitution? Two opposing points of view!!! Sometimes great minds don’t think alike!! Thomas Jefferson Anti-Federalist VS. James Madison Federalist

RATIFICATION Anti-Federalist Opposed ratification Wanted protection for individual citizens from the Federal Government Believed strongly that a Bill of Rights was necessary

RATIFICATION Federalists In favor of ratification Did not believe a Bill of Rights was needed and felt the Constitution as it stood was enough Bills of Rights would cause problems

RATIFICATION ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why was the Bill of Rights necessary for ratification? New York, Virginia and Massachusetts opposed ratification Country could not succeed without them NY, VA and MA all agree to ratify once a Bill of Rights is promised. Final Ratification occurred on July 26, 1788 when New York approved the Constitution

RATIFIED!! Ladies and Gentlemen…… WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION!!
