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.

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

Roman Caposino September 3rd-9th, 2013 Chapter II Questions AP Government/Politics At the time of the Revolution, most colonists believed that English politicians tended to be corrupt, and therefore the English constitution by which these politicians governed was not an adequate guarantee of the liberty of the citizens. Colonists believed that their rights and liberties were supplied by God, and included life, liberty, and property. To the colonists, the revolution was a war of political liberties rather than economic issue. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation: The government could not levy taxes or regulate commerce. Each state retained its sovereignty and independence.

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.
