Massachusetts Compromise

Happened in the transition between the Articles of Confederation and The U.S. constitution. There were multiple problems with the Articles of Confederation. The founding fathers attempted to fix problems, but needed 9/13 colonies approval to ratify it. This caused a split in opinion. Four small states quickly ratified the Constitution, and Pennsylvania was the first large state to act. There were two main groups in the debate: Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Federalists: wanted to ratify. (Alexander Hamilton and James Madison) Argued that the Constitution didn't need a Bill of Rights, that it would create a "parchment barrier" that limited the rights of the people.

Samuel Choi CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE: THE CONSTITUTION Introduction The goal of the American revolution was liberty The Problem of Liberty Americans fought to protect their liberties when fighting against the British; they felt their liberties were being violated. At first colonists believed they could stay within the British empire and still retain their liberties. As colonist lost faith in the English Constitution, they realized they could only protect their rights by breaking off from the British empire. The Colonial Mind Most colonists believed that man was naturally corrupt and greedy and would continually try to seek power. This is why colonists believed that the English Constitution would not work; English politicians were corrupt. Colonists believed in natural rights

Tindall Ch7 Outline Shaping a Federal Union The Confederation Congress within the confederation had very little power to do anything. Was still able to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783 and created three departments, Foreign Affairs, Finance, and War. Robert Morris, superintendent of Finance created the Bank of North America (1781). Did not really work because of fear of central authority, and Congress was always lacking money. Land in the west all went under the ownership of Congress, and they set rules for how each territory could become a state. The Land ordinance of 1785 planned how land would be distributed and sold. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 put new requirements on achieving statehood.

Articles of Confederation vs. the Constitution ???? The following chart compares some of the provisions of the Articles of Confederation with those in the Constitution. It's important to note that most commentators see the Articles period (1781-1789) as a weak one in terms of governmental power. Whether that is a positive or negative for the United States depends on one's point of view regarding the size and influence of a national government. Some would view the Articles period as the pinnacle of American freedom, while those favoring a strong central government would see it as a failure. ?? ?? Articles of Confederation Constitution Levying taxes Congress could request states to pay taxes Congress has right to levy taxes on individuals Federal courts
