Framing a New Government
BUILDING A NEW GOVERNMENT• SOLUTION:
• Roger Sherman and Franklin: The Great Compromise• Bicameral Legislature
• Upper House: “Senate”• Senators elected by state legislatures• Each state given equal representation
• Lower House: “House of Representatives”• Reps. elected by voters in each state• # of Reps. based on state’s population
• 3/5ths compromise for South.
• Was this a good solution? Opinion?
Representative Democracy and Checks and Balances
THREE – FIFTHS COMPROMISE
To Ratify or Not to Ratify?Jeffersonians
Anti-federalists: AGAINST
RATIFICATION
WHY: Suspect the elite, suspicious of tyranny
WHO: Poor farmers, frontiersmen, states’ rights advocates
Madisonians
Federalists:FOR RATIFICATION
WHY: Stability and Strength needed to secure economy and the high seas
WHO: Propertied classes, merchants, bankers
Map: Federalist and Antifederalist Strongholds, 1787-1790
Federalist and Antifederalist Strongholds, 1787-1790Federalists drew their primary backing from densely populated areas along major transportation routes, where trade, mobility, and frequent contact with people in other states encouraged a nationalistic identity. Antifederalist support came from interior regions where geographic isolation bred a localistic perspective. However, some westerners, especially in Georgia and western Virginia, voted for a strong central government that would push back the Indians or the Spanish . Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.

Establishing National Sovereignty
GW Farewell Address
• “It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption…”
• -What was GW referring to? Does it still seem relevant to today?
• The Election of 1796• John Adams

John Marshall (Portrait Gallery)
Marbury v. MadisonHISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Establishes the principal of
JUDICIAL REVIEW = the ability of the Court to declare an act of Congress or the President unconstitutional.
“ The critical importance of Marbury is the assumption of several powers by the Supreme Court. One was the authority to declare acts of Congress, and by implication acts of the president, unconstitutional if they exceeded the powers granted by the Constitution. But even more important, the Court became the arbiter of the Constitution, the final authority on what the document meant. As such, the Supreme Court became in fact as well as in theory an equal partner in government, and it has played that role ever since.”

Treaty of Ghent, 1814• Armistice signed Christmas

• English think they are winning the war, but news of Battles in NY and Baltimore, along with events in Europe, pressure GB to come to terms.
• MYTH: Americans credit Battle of New Orleans with winning the war.
• TRUTH: More like a draw.
Both sides didn’t realize who had the upper hand!

Too many states banks were issuing unreliable notes, and they were easy to counterfeit.
James J. Dallas, secretary of the treasury on 2nd BUS
• “The services to be performed by the capital of the bank are important, various, and extensive. They will be required through a period almost as long as is usually assigned to a generation. They will be required for the accommodation of the government in the collection and distribution of its revenue, as well as for the uses of commerce, agriculture, manufactures, and the arts, throughout the Union. They will be required to restore and maintain the national currency; and, in short, they will be required, under every change of circumstances, in a season of war, as well as in the season of peace, for the circulation of the national wealth, which augments with a rapidity beyond the reach of ordinary calculation.”
