Articles of Confederation The next step after the American Revolution

What influenced the Articles of Confederation?

Ideas around the World The Enlightenment John Locke (Social Contract) English Magna Carta & English Bill of Right Power to the PEOPLE! No more Kings!

Shift of Power KING AND QUEEN People KING AND QUEEN / REPRESENTATIVES POWER People POWER

Early American Ideas Town Meetings: Provided citizens with ability to voice opinion in government Virginia House of Burgesses: Principles of Representation Limited Government: No one had total power, a system of checks and balances.

Structure of the A.O.C. 1 Branch (Congress) NO Executive, NO Judicial Unicameral (1 House) Each state had 1 Vote Representation People didn’t vote. State selected representatives. Powers Ability to make laws. All other powers to states.

Hypothesize The A.O.C. only had the power to make laws. What problems do you think they might run into without the executive or judicial branch?

Weaknesses of the Articles Congress could NOT: Enact and collect taxes. Regulate trade. Control the printing of money. – caused massive inflation!

Weaknesses of the Articles Congress could NOT: Articles could be amended - only if ALL states approved. Could only request troops from states to maintain army. 13 separate states that lacked national unity.

Weaknesses of the Articles Shays’s Rebellion angry farmers take weapons and burned down banks that held record of their debt. What can Massachusetts do?

Yikes!!! WHAT DID WORK?????

Strengths of the Articles Established the policy for lands west of the Appalachians. Land Ordinance 1785: set up a system for surveying & dividing public territory (into squares!)

Strengths of the Articles Northwest Ordinance 1787: How to establish statehood in the future… Population needed to reach 60,000 Create State Constitution: Required public education. Slavery prohibited “Northwest Territory”: Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana

Note Review Strengths of A.O.C.Weakness of A.O.C. With a partner complete the following chart
