Unit 3 – Chapter 5 Sec1 – Articles of Confederation Monarchy v. Republic? No more tyranny, so lets elect representatives… Articles of Confederation Big states vs little states make things complicated Only 1 branch – Congress, representatives equal from each state, has little power, states “do what they want” Nothing gets accomplished, country not very united, debt issues, although Land policy successful (new states can be made in orderly fashion) Weak gov’t produces two groups – Federalists (want strength) vs Anti-federalists (fear too much power) Sec2 – Constitution Shay’s Rebellion – farmers unhappy, resist in MA, need new gov’t (stronger one) Constitutional Convention in Philly – Founding Fathers debate for months Great Compromise – 2 house Congress (rep. based pop. / rep. equal per state) Big states and little states happy 3/5 Compromise – should slaves count? Yes, 3/5 – North and South states happy New branches – Legislative / judicial / Executive President and courts added Checks and Balances will keep things on lock down
