In telling the history of the United States and also of the nations of the Western Hemisphere in general, historians have wrestled with the problem of what to call the hemisphere's first inhabitants. Under the mistaken impression he had reached the “Indies,” explorer Christopher Columbus called the people he met “Indians.” This was an error in identification that has persisted for more than five hundred years, for the inhabitants of North and South America had no collective name by which they called themselves.
Historians, anthropologists, and political activists have offered various names, none fully satisfactory. Anthropologists have used “aborigine,” but the term suggests a primitive level of existence inconsistent with the cultural level of many tribes. Another term, “Amerindian,” which combines Columbus's error with the name of another Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci (whose name was the source of “America”), lacks any historical context. Since the 1960s, “Native American” has come into popular favor, though some activists prefer “American Indian.” In the absence of a truly representative term, descriptive references such as “native peoples” or “indigenous peoples,” though vague, avoid European influence. In recent years, some argument has developed over whether to refer to tribes in the singular or plural—Apache or Apaches—with supporters on both sides demanding political correctness.
The framers used compromise in order to increase the chances of the constitution being ratified. Each of the political factions developing during this time, the federalists and anti-federalists, had different things they wanted in terms of structuring American society.
The federalists wanted a new constitution and to get rid of the Articles of Confederation. The anti-federalists, wanted to simply amend the Articles of Confederation. However, the anti-federalists were open to a new constitution as long as it had a list of individual rights that the government could not take away.
The framers compromised and gave each side something they desired. The federalists would get a new constitution and the anti-federalists would get a list of rights they were guaranteed to have. This became known as the Bill of Rights.
