RATIFYING THE CONSTITUTION Lesson 2.5 RATIFYING THE CONSTITUTION

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Ratifying the Constitution Who were the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists? How long did the ratification of the Constitution take? What happened after its ratification?

The Federalists and Anti-Federalists The Constitution was very controversial at first, with some groups supporting it, and others attacking it. Federalists thought that the Articles of Confederation were weak, and argued for the ratification of the Constitution. Anti-Federalists objected to the Constitution for many reasons, including the strong central government and the lack of a bill of rights.

The Constitution is Ratified Nine States ratified the Constitution by June 21, 1788, but the new government needed the ratification of the large States of New York and Virginia. Great debates were held in both States, with Virginia ratifying the Constitution June 25, 1788. New York’s ratification was hard fought. Supporters of the Constitution published a series of essays known as The Federalist.

Inaugurating the Government The new Congress met for the first time on March 4, 1789. Congress finally attained a quorum (majority) on April 6 and counted the electoral votes. Congress found that George Washington had been unanimously elected President. He was inaugurated on April 30.
