Issues Union of 13 individual states similar to old colonial governments No strong national government

September, 1786 convention (meeting) called for in Philadelphia to discuss trade issues Washington agrees to attend after Shays Rebellion

Convention Begins May, 1787 – Philadelphia 55 delegates Native Americans, African Americans, and women not represented; not considered part of the political process Washington and Franklin attend – guarantee public trust Does not amend (revise) Articles – creates a new constitution

Organization Washington chosen to lead the meetings Each state has 1 vote on all questions Decisions based on majority vote of states present Sessions not open to the public Watch Charlie Brown Video

Foldable Create a foldable to explain each of the following plans: Virginia Plan New Jersey Plan Great Compromise Three-Fifths Compromise

Slave Trade Congress will not interfere in the slave trade until 1808 (north had already banned the slave trade; south considered it central to their economy)

Bill of Rights Some worry without a bill of rights (listing of people’s rights and freedoms), national government may abuse its power George Mason, Virginia, proposed Bill of Rights to be included in the Constitution Idea is defeated based on belief that the Constitution carefully defined powers and provided enough protection of individual rights

Approving the Constitution September 17, 1787 – delegates assemble to sign Constitution; 3 refused because it did not have a Bill of Rights Approved draft sent to the states for their approval Needed 9 out of the 13 states to approve to go into effect.

1. Does inherited privilege play a role in our society?
gulaghasi [49]

1. Yes. Unfortunately, the role that this privilege plays in society is often to encourage inequality among citizens and not to allow meritocracy to be exercised efficiently.

2. No. The USA promotes and foresees an unequal treatment among citizens, mainly regarding race, origin, social position and heredity of people, which ends up generating a strong social inequality.

3. The US government protects citizens' rights through laws and guidelines that must be followed across the country. However, often these laws only work in theory and people continue to have their rights unprotected, especially citizens who are members of a social minority.

4. No. When our government was created, there was a strong slave culture in the country, which affirmed that whites and blacks were different and should be treated in different ways, where whites were placed as superiors and deserving of all possible social privilege. Furthermore, at the beginning of our government, women were also considered inferior and lived under a system of domination to which men were not subjected.

5. This did not impact the decision of the creators of our government, since they were all white men and did not suffer from the lack of rights and privileges that women and blacks suffered.

Also, it was felt that having a colonial empire at this time was part of being a European power, in order to be able to compete. Furthermore, some Europeans felt that they were superior to Africans and were therefore justified in conquering what they thought were the backward peoples of Africa.</span>
