The main reason behind the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857 is actually multifaceted. The direct cause was a change in the use of the weapons Britain provided to Indian sepoys, basically soldiers fighting for the British. The British began to implement a new kind of grease for their guns that was cheaper than the previous grease. However, this grease was a combination of pig fat and cow fat. In order to open these packets of grease, one had to use their teeth. Remember that India's major religions at the time were Hindu and Islam. The Hindu sepoys were appalled by the notion that they would use the sacred cow, and the Muslim sepoys refused to bite open the packets because pork is taboo to them. This whole incident combined with general resentment towards British rule of India, and the fighting began.

Explain why chose to be a federalist or Anti-federalist and why you disagree with the opposing position
tresset_1 [31]
I agree with the federalists because they want a stronger government. They wanted to bring all the states together to create a nation before they were all separate and doing their own thing, but now the Constitution brought them all together under one national government. They also believed that it was necessary that a strong federal government was formed to establish organization of the entire country. So they also wanted to make sure that any branch wouldn’t have too much power then the others so they had to create a Checks & Balances to help enforce that. One thing I didn’t really like was how they at first didn’t want to have the Bill of Rights in the Constitution because they wanted to limit the rights of the people, rather than protect them. I’m glad they added the Bill of Rights at the end because it would be wrong for them to limit our rights and not protect us.

I found this from school about 1-2 years ago. It doesn’t have everything, but I’m sure you can use some of what I have and add on.
