In the space provided, propose an argument for or against the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1789. Establish yourself
Lostsunrise [7]

Led by Alexander Hamilton, albeit secretly at first, the Federalists were the first political party of the United States. They supported the Constitution, and attempted to convince the States to ratify the document. Hamilton, along with John Jay and James Madison, anonymously published a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers under the pseudonym "Publius."

Both Hamilton and 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, as opposed to protecting them. However, they eventually made the concession and announced a willingness to take up the matter of the series of amendments which would become the Bill of Rights. Without this compromise, the Constitution may never have been ratified by the States.

Surprisingly enough, it was Federalist James Madison who eventually presented the Bill of Rights to Congress despite his former stance on the issue.

how did the government under the lords proprietors in south Carolina compare to the governments in the other colonies?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Each British colony had its representative in London (colonial agent). In the American colonies, from the very beginning of their creation, the foundations of self-government were laid. In all types of colonies, there were three of them: royal, proprietary and corporate. The Governor personified the power of the sovereign, the Council, or the upper house of the Assembly - the aristocratic power, the House of Representatives - the democratic one. The governors of corporate colonies were elected by assemblies; in the property colonies, governors were appointed by owners of the colonies, and in the royal ones, respectively, by the English king.

South Carolina, which existed from 1663 to 1712, was controlled by the Lords-proprietors - a group of eight English nobles, informally led by Anthony Ashley-Cooper (1st Earl of Shaftesbury). Dissatisfaction with the administration of the colony led to the appointment of the vice-governor in 1691, who controlled the northern part of the colony. The owner of South Carolina, John Archdale, bought this colony in 1691 from the widow of the former owner, Sir William Berkeley. In 1706, Archdale published a description of his colony; he reported that the royal letter authorized the colony owner to establish nobility, that the latter, together with representatives of the lord-owners, constitute the upper house and that the lower house is elected by the people.

Each proprietary colony was characterized by specific system of governance which reflected the geographic factors and the lord proprietor personality. The colonies of Maryland and New York, based on English law and administration practices, were run effectively. But Carolina was mismanaged.

In 1729, the British government bought rights from the heirs of the lords-proprietors and the province became a royal colony.
