4 1)How did the Revolutionary War allow the Patriots (founders) to rise up the aristocracy to fall? The American Revolution allowed for an accelerated evolution. Some major changes were brought into the colonies that affected social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society, government, and even gender roles. The weakening of the aristocrats allowed for the Patriots to take over. 2)How did the Declaration of Independence begin setting the stage for even more freedoms? Who(m) else did it get extended too? With the Declaration of Independence stating that "all men are created equal," equality was everywhere. The Virginia Stature for Religious Freedom was passed in Changes in the institution of slavery also came about, and most states responded positively to the Continental Congress' call of the complete abolition of the slave trade. However, no states south of Pennsylvania abolished slavery, and there was discrimination against freed blacks. To fight over slavery would have fractured the unity the nation so desperately needed. The extension of the doctrine of equality to women was also incomplete, but they were not untouched by Revolutionary ideals. The idea of "republican motherhood" was born and women were now responsible for the survival of the nation. 3) What were some economic/trade laws that changed following the Treaty of Paris 1783? Economic changes also came into the colonies. States took control of former crown lands. It was very significant that economic democracy preceded political democracy. Most goods that had been imported from Britain had been cut off, and British Navigation Laws were more disagreeable than before. On the plus side, Americans could now trade freely with other nations, but the colonies still had the major issue of inflation and financial problems. The new economic and social atmosphere was unhealthy. ***KEY ***The Revolution had given Americans the responsibility of creating and operating a new central government. Unity was still difficult to find within the nation. British manufacturers began flooding the American market with cut-rate goods. With a positive note, Americans had excellent political leaders and the states were governmentally similar with similar constitutions. 4) The 13 colonies were sovereign in nearly all aspects. What does this mean and explain it (how they were). They were in TOTAL CONTROL they coined money, raised armies and navies, and erected tariff barriers. The Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777, but was not ratified until 1781 by all colonies. The pledge of having republican stated admitted to the Union on terms of complete equality with the others was fully redeemed in the Northwest Ordinance of A bond of union was finally made within the colonies with public lands transferring to the central government, and a uniform national land policy was made possible. 5) What were some weaknesses or problems with The Articles of Confederation? They provided a loose confederation for the states. There was no executive branch and the judicial arm was left to the states. The congress was purposely designed to be weak, but they had no power to regulate commerce, leading states to establish their own laws on tariffs and navigation.

5 The national government in Philadelphia could not command or control individual states. A new Congress established was even worse than the previous one, with no constitutional powers at all. 6)What are some PROS or positives to the Articles of Confederation? Although they were weak, the Articles proved to be a landmark in government, modeling what a loose confederation could be. Troubled times demanded a tightly knit federation to give the states sovereignty. Despite its defects, the Articles were a significant sign towards the present Constitution. +Congress was successful in passing the Land Ordinance of 1785 to help pay off national debt and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 for the control of the land. This insoluble problem of empire was neatly solved thanks to Congress. 7)What were some of the CONS of the Articles that lead to their failure? Foreign relations, especially with London, remained troubled during the years of the Confederation. The British refused to repeal the Navigation Laws or make a commercial treaty. Some British agents were still active along the northern frontier. They wanted to annex Vermont to Britain, but were unsuccessful. Redcoats also continued their U.S. trading posts and relations with Indians. Patriotic Americans were greatly upset by the British and wanted the US to impose restrictions on imports to America, but this was out of the hands of Congress. Spain, France, and Britain schemed with the Indians, preventing America from having control over much of its total territory. North African pirates were also an issue in American's Mediterranean commerce. At this point America was too weak to fight and too poor to bribe. ***KEY***Public debt was piling up and individual states were getting out of hand, quarreling over boundaries and imposing taxes on goods from neighbors, and paper currency was starting to be brought back out. 8)What was Shay's Rebellion and how was it a major trigger in founding our Constitution? Shay s Rebellion had Revolutionaries demanding paper money, lighter taxes, and for property takeovers to be suspended. It was decided that a stronger central government needed to provide foundation for the nation. By the time the Constitution was drafted, prosperity was beginning to emerge from the fog of depression. 9)Who met at the Constitutional Convention, why did they meet, and what was the result? Control of commerce was the main issue that led to the constitutional convention. It was decided that they would meet in Philadelphia to bolster the Articles. Some of those present were George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. The fifty-five delegates were experienced statesmen who were determined in strengthening the Republic, and having a firm government. They also desired to preserve the union, and ensure security of life and property. In Philadelphia, it was decided that the Articles would be completely scrapped, disregarding Congress' word to only revise it. The Virginia Plan was proposed to give larger states an advantage in a bicameral Congress, and the New Jersey Plan was for small states and for equal representation in a unicameral Congress, regardless of size and population. The delegates came to the conclusion of the Great Compromise. 10)Who are the Federalists and Antifederalists and what did they come up with to ratify the Constitution? The federalists were a group for stronger governmental control and NO

6 Bill of Rights the antifederalists distrusted government more, even in the new USA and wanted Guaranteed Rights or a Bill of Guaranteed Rights (SEE WHERE WE ARE GOING ****KEYS***Slaves count as 3/5 of a person when voting. The states came to compromise that slave trade would go on until the end of 1807, and after that time all states except Georgia forbade overseas slave trade. Delegates generally saw eye to eye economically and politically, but trouble started with the fear of democracy. The new charter contained democratic elements with the great principles of republicanism: consent of the governed, and limited powers of government. The delegates decided that when 9 states registered their approval of the Constitution, it would become the supreme law of the land in those states ratifying. Conflicts arose between federalists and antifederalists once the document was released. Antifederalists saw the Constitution as a plan to steal power from common folk, claiming it to be antidemocratic. The Constitution was officially adopted on June 21, 1788, after being accepted by all states except Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. After debate in Virginia, ratification was carried, 89 to 79. New York finally ratified, 30 to 27, realize they could not prosper if they weren't part of the Union. North Carolina and Rhode Island finally stubbornly agreed. Conservatism was victorious, sovereignty had been redefined, and conservatives and radicals have championed the heritage of republican revolution. CONFUSED?
