Articles of Confederation AOC: a weak constitution that governed America during the Revolutionary War. “A league of friendship” Each state was independent Each state had one vote, no matter their size. Congress could coin money, make treaties, and appoint army officers Legislators were picked and paid for by the state. Under the AOC it was “controlled” chaos.

The Constitutional Convention A meeting in Philadelphia, PA in 1787 that produced a new constitution. Lasted 4 months. Protect: Life, Liberty, and Property. Philadelphia Constitution: one-house legislature, elected for no more than 4, 1 year terms. No Presidents, just legislature. Unicarmel: one house government Massachusetts Constitution: elected governor who could veto, judges ruled for life, legislatures had to be Christian and property owners Very weak Shay’s Rebellion
