WHOWHATWHEREWHENWHY

 Conduct research to successfully match each Founding Father to his biography!  Raise your hand when your group is finished!  Copy: James Madison, George Washington, and one of your choice!

House of Reps.  Did not want slaves counted in population, but did want them counted for tax purposes. Slave Trade  Wanted to ban slave trade 3/5 Compromise: 3/5 of the population counted to determine number of reps. Per state House of Reps.  Wanted slaves counted in the population, but not for tax purposes (for representation only) Slave Trade  Wanted to maintain slave trade (labor source) Slave trade banned in 1808 (20 years)

Conduct independent research or reference your U.S. book pgs or the North Carolina book pg. 214 to complete the Federalist vs. Anti-Federalist graphic organizer.

Read pgs (US) or 210 (NC) “Shay’s Rebellion” to answer the following questions:  Define Shay’s Rebellion  What happened?  What was the outcome?  How does this rebellion show that the Articles of Confederation were too weak?

 Topics include: Articles of Confederation (questions 1- 7 and Note- taker) Constitution: (Note-taker) Constitutional Convention Compromises Federalists vs Anti-Federalists

Small states objected to this plan fearing that large states would always outvote them in Congress.

Determined that a portion of slaves would be counted in the population.

A law that described how the NW territory would be governed.

This resolved the conflict of representation in Congress.

 Why did delegates decide to write a new constitution in 1787?

No national court or national regulation of trade.

Gave the states the power to tax and trade

Created a system of checks and balances and separation of powers

Created a republic (Government in which the power rests with the people that elect representatives)

Created a federal system

Check the Wiki (Unit 4) for complete study guide, terms to know, and short answer questions)

 The Anti-Federalists did not want to ratify the Constitution.  It gave too much power to the national government at the expense of the state governments.  There was no bill of rights.  The national government could maintain an army in peacetime.  Congress, because of the `necessary and proper clause,' wielded too much power.  The executive branch held too much power. What may the President and the Senate become? Quickwrite: Why did many states feel a Bill of Rights needed to be added to the Constitution?

 The Federalists supported the ratification of the Constitution:  The separation of powers into three independent branches protected the rights of the people.  Each branch represents a different aspect of the people, and because all three branches are equal, no one group can assume control over another.  A listing of rights can be a dangerous thing. If the national government were to protect specific listed rights, what would stop it from violating rights other than the listed ones? Since we can't list all the rights, the Federalists argued that it's better to list none at all

 North Carolina ratified (approved) The Constitution on November 21,  States called for a Bill of Rights. These rights would protect the rights and liberties of all the citizens. James Madison drafted them.  ¾ of the states approved the 1st 10 Amendments to The Constitution.
