George Mason did not want the Constitution and did not want to sign it. He did not want the federal government to have a large amount of power, as this gave the government a lot power to put on citizens, like the British did to the colonists. George Mason wanted a strong central government, like the Articles of Confederation, which gives very little power to the government, and makes it so they can not regulate trade or even effectively make people obey to certain laws.
about years or months i kinda forgot
The president
The presidential cabinet is a group of appointed officers of the executive branch of the government. Members of the cabinet is usually nominated by the commander in chief and must be confirmed by the legislative branch of the government. The role of the cabinet is to advise the president on any subject matter that requires expertise of the cabinet. Commonly, these matters are related to the office of the cabinet the president is referring to.
Presidential Reconstruction
In 1865 President Andrew Johnson implemented a plan of Reconstruction that gave the white South a free hand in regulating the transition from slavery to freedom and offered no role to blacks in the politics of the South. The conduct of the governments he established turned many Northerners against the president's policies.
The end of the Civil War found the nation without a settled Reconstruction policy.
In May 1865, President Andrew Johnson offered a pardon to all white Southerners except Confederate leaders and wealthy planters (although most of these later received individual pardons), and authorized them to create new governments.
