Nations Beginnings Revolution to Government – Order of Events

BRITISH TAXES

Proclamation Act 1763 (no settling west of the Appalachians) Stamp Act 1765 – tax on print (educated/most capable of revolt) Townshend Acts 1765 – taxes on paint, led, paper, and tea. Boston Tea Party 1773 (Tea dumped in Boston Harbor) Tea Act Intolerable Acts / Coercive Acts 1774 – closed the Boston Harbor, restricted town meetings in MA. restricted the rights of the MA. Assembly (legislature). 2nd Continental Congress (Washington General, Continental Army)

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Declaration of Independence July 4th 1776 (Thomas Jefferson) Enlightenment thinkers influenced: John Locke – All men created equal, natural rights: life, liberty, and property. Social Contract – people create government, and have power to change it, if government is abusive. Thomas Paine (Common Sense) Arguments: Britain is too far to govern; Britain ruled for its own interest, being part would bring us in unnecessary European wars. America is made of peoples from all of Europe (Let’s read portions of this text on pages 54-56)

AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Battle of Yorktown 1781 (Last Battle of the Revolution Battle of Yorktown 1781 (Last Battle of the Revolution. French Aid was key in America’s victory) Treaty of Paris 1783 ends the war. All land east of the Mississippi is ceded, or given to the United States

Articles of Confederation (America’s 1st Plan of Government.) Weak 1. Government could not tax 2. No national military 3. No president 4. No Supreme Court 5. No national currency. Each state printed own money 6. All states were needed to ratify/agree to Amend. 7. 9/13 states needed to pass laws. (Northwest Ordinance 1787) 8. One vote/state in Congress. 9. Congress could not enforce laws (states were sovereign)

SHAYS REBELLION

(bad economy/ recession) National security is also at question! Shay’s Rebellion 1787 (Farmers Rebellion) Large mob of farmers wanted to seize an arsenal in Springfield Mass., and get farms back. (bad economy/ recession) National security is also at question!

Constitutional Convention 1787 (Philadelphia) Articles were dropped!

Great Compromise Dispute between states: (large vs. small, over representation in Congress. Large states wanted More Representation (Virginia) Small states wanted equal representation (New Jersey) Connecticut/ Great Compromise: 2 House legislature created House of Representatives, Senate(Congress) Each state gets 2 reps. in Senate (Small States)  Each state gets 1 rep in the House + additional reps. / every 30,000 in population. (Large States) 

Three Fifths Compromise Southern states would have a disadvantage, because their population consisted of mostly slaves. They were allowed to count 3/5 of their slave population (a slave was 3/5 of a person) Racist – still not a whole person!

Constitution ratified/approved by 9 states in 1788, 2 more follow (11) Government begins 1789. Federalist supported the stronger govt. created by the Constitution. Anti-federalists did not support the Constitution because they felt it gave the federal govt. too much power, and it lacked a bill of rights. 1791 10 amendments are added to the Constitution. (Bill of Rights). Anti-federalist were happy.
