Constitutional Convention

History
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
7 0

The Constitutional Convention[1] (contemporarily known as the Federal Convention,[1] the Philadelphia Convention,[1] or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia)[2][3] took place from May 25 to September 17, 1787, in the old Pennsylvania State House (now known as Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. Although the convention was intended to revise the league of states and first system of government under the Articles of Confederation,[4] the intention from the outset of many of its proponents, chief among them James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York, was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one. The delegates elected George Washington of Virginia, former commanding general of the Continental Army in the late American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and proponent of a stronger national government, to become President of the convention. The result of the convention was the creation of the Constitution of the United States, placing the Convention among the most significant events in American history.

What major legal and political changes led to the rise of constitutional government in the west?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The major political changes came from both the american revolution and the french revolution. The american revolution was inspired by the ideas of liberalism developed by thinkers such as John Locke and Montesquieu. This ideas held that the invidividual is more important than the collective, and that every person has rights given by god, which came to be known as human rights. Finally, liberals opposed monarchy and instead favored republicanism, which means that the government should be elected by its people, and could be removed from power in anytime in case it does not satisfy its people's needs.

These ideas inspired the development of constitutions. A constitution is the supreme law of the state, form which all other laws are derived. The first constitution was the United Sates constitution, which defended liberal principles such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly. With time, intellectuals in other european countries took insipiration from the US constitution and began to introduce changes in their countries of origin.
