18 comments:
3.The Great Compromise combined two plans made by Constitutional Convention creating our current legislature with two houses, one based on population and elected by the people and the other house allowing two senators per state being appointed by state legislatures.
7.???
11.The refusal of U.S. grain farmers and whiskey distillers to pay a new excise tax on spirits in 1794, and the subsequent government quashing of this rebellion, regarded as the first real test of the federal government's power to enforce laws. The conflict was largely confined to western Pennsylvania, where much whiskey was produced. President George Washington ordered a large militia to meet the resistance, which quickly disappeared. The Whiskey Tax was repealed under President Thomas Jefferson.
15. A treaty between the United States and Great Britain to regulate commerce and navigation. It corrected problems arising from violations of the Treaty of Paris of 1793.
19.???
23.Federalists believed in a strong central government and a loose interpretation of the Constitution. Generally they were Pro-British. The Federalists were pro-manufacturing and banking. They wanted to reimburse Revolutionary War debts, increase tariffs to promote manufacturing and institute an internal excise tax. Democrat-Republicans believed in States rights with a weaker central government and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Generally they were Pro-French. They believed the Federalists were elitist. Democrat-Republicans were pro-agriculture. They thought only white males who owned property should vote, and that all men should own property. If the US had an agriculturally based economy they would be able to feed themselves, sell the surplus, and purchase manufactured goods from Europe. It was believed that people would put aside their own personal gain for the public good. When the Democrat-Republicans gained National office they repealed excise taxes, retired the national debt and reduced the size of the armed forces. The party only lasted from 1792 to about 1828.
2. The constitution convention was originally called the Philadelphia convention.
6. The federalists papers were a federalists campaign consisting of 85 essays which were later published in book form called The Federalists Papers. They were highly persuasive and tried to get everyone to be for Federalism.
10. The 4 major parts of Alexander Hamilton's economic program were assumptions of debts that he gradually paid off, to keep good grounds with other countries. Establish Federal banks, Tarrifs, and lastly government funding for industries but this law wasn't passed.
14. The neutrality proclamation of 1793 was Washington's idea to make the u.s. stay neutral to avoid conflicts.
18. Washington made the system of checks and balances during his presidency. He also created a congress with a supreme court, legistative branch etc.
22. The kentucky and virginia resolutions were new laws about the government and it was written by Thomas Jefferson and JAmes maddison
4. What were the issues regarding slavery at the Constitutional Convention? How was the issue of slavery handled at the convention?
There wasn't much serious talk of abolishing slavery, since several of the Southern states would not join the Union if slavery were abolished. Ten states had banned the slave trade, but the other three (Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina) threatened to leave the convention if the slave trade were banned. The compromise was to give Congress the power to ban the slave trade, but only 20 years after the Constitution was signed.The Southern states wanted slaves counted as people for determining representation (though they wouldn't be allowed to vote) but not for issues of taxation. The North wanted the reverse. They finally agreed on the Three-Fifths compromise, with three out of every five slaves counted for purposes of both taxation and representation.
8. Why was the Bill of Rights added to the Constitution?
During the Constitutional Convention and before the Constitution was ratified by the states, there were many concerns that the federal government would be too powerful under the Constitution. The two major sides of this arguement were the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Anti-Federalists believed that the Bill of Rights was necessary to protect people from a strong central government by specifically listing the rights of citizens. Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution as a compromise between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Through this compromise, ratification of the Constitution by the states was achieved.
12. What happened as a result of the disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson?
The Jefferson/Hamilton conflict helped give rise to political parties by polarizing factions on opposite political sides. The disagreements that had occurred during this time had led to the seperation of parties. In 1792-1793 the Hamiltonians (Federalists) and the Jeffersonian (Democratic-Republicans) were created.
16. What were the terms of the Pinckney Treaty? Why do you think it was important?
In Pinckney's Treaty (also known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo), Spain granted the United States free navigation of the Mississippi River and the right of deposit at New Orleans. It also settled the boundary dispute between Spanish Florida and the United States on terms favorable to the United States. This treaty was important because it established intentions of friendship between the United States and Spain.
20. What was the XYZ affair? American response?
French privateers were regularly seizing U.S. merchant ships and the U.S. government was contemplating a naval war. President John Adams dispatched envoys to negotiate with France's foreign minister, who refused to meet them but instead had his own envoys approach the Americans, inviting them to pay tribute and extend a loan to France in order to stop the privateering. This offer was refused; the anonymous French agents, referred to as X, Y, and Z in Adams' report to Congress, were vilified, and public outcry led to the Congress authorizing 1, 000 privateers to capture or repel French vessels.
The scandal inflamed U.S. public opinion and led to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
24. How was Jefferson elected in 1800? Why was the election of 1800 considered a "Peaceful Revolution?"
All in favor of Jefferson
Electoral vote 73 to
States carried 8 to
Popular vote 41,330 to 25952

Number 2.
2. The constitution convention was originally called the Philadelphia convention.
6. The federalists papers were a federalists campaign,which had 85 essays which were published in a book called The Federalists Papers. The papers persuaded people to be for federalism.
10. The 4 major parts of Alexander Hamiltons economic program were assumptions of debts that he paid off over time,tarrifs,Establish Federal banks, and he to keep good grounds with other countries.
14. The neutrality proclamation of 1793 was Washingtons idea to make the U.S. stay neutral & to avoid conflicts.
18. Washington made the system of checks and balances during his presidency. He created a congress with a supreme court, legistative branch, and a judicial branch.
22. The Kentucky and Virginia resolutions were written by Thomas Jefferson and James Maddison.
4. The issues regarding slavery were to determine how the slaves were to be counted as in the states and whether they should allow slave trade and slavery under the Constitution. This was resolved by the three-fifths compromise that counted a slave as 3/5 of a person for the state's level of taxation & representation. Also to allow slavery for 20 more years.
8. The Bill of Rights was added to the constitution because the Congress thought that it was necessary to stop a strong government from acting in a tyrannical way. And to protect Americans from tyranny and their rights.
12. What happened as a result of the disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson?
The disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson about what Hamilton should do as a treasurer resulted in 3 plans being adopted from Hamilton. The plans were Debt, which meant that the nation should use the money to pay national debt, Tarriffs and excise taxes, were to raise taxes a bit to pay the country's debt and National Bank, to regulate America's business.
16. The Pickeny Treaty allowed Mississippi River and New Orleans to American trade and the Americans were alloed to transfer cargoes in New Orleans without paying Spain. This was important because America was facing danger since the British were taking advantage of a treaty.
20. The XYZ affair was when French Ministers named XYZ to hide their name asked for bribery so that the French seizing American trade ships can be negotiated. The Congress refused to bribe and the Americans were furious about the requested bribery. They called for a war but John Adams thought that America was too weak right now and tried harder to negotiate.
24. Thomas Jefferson was tied with Aaron Burr at the election so they held a special election in the Congress amongst themselves. Then Thomas Jefferson got more votes from the Congress than Aaron Burr did and he became the president. Election of 1800 became a "Peaceful Revolution" because the shift from a former president to a current president happened without violence. And the Federalists accepted their defeat by Anti-Federalists so people sought 1800 as a "Peaceful Revolution".
HEy MR.T! HERE'S MY HOMEWORK!
3. The Great Compromise took place during the Constitutional Convention. The people there couldn't decide how to represent each state in the house of representatives. The larger states thought it should be based on the number of people
in each state (that way they'd have more reps, thus mroe power). The smaller states argued that this was not fair for them. So there was a compromise (the GREAT compromise, otherwise known as the Connecticut plan). They decided that there would be TWO houses, one where the larger stat5es would have more reps, and one where everyone would have the same amount.
7. I believe the cabinet members were Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and Edmund Randolph... I think...
11. The Whiskey Rebellion was when farmers refused to pay taxes on Whiskey because they thought it was too expensive. They attacked revenue collectors. So George Washington send Militiamen to stop them and it worked! This was important because it was the first challenge Washington had to face as President.
15. The British were taking American ships, so America sent John Jay to Britain to work it out. When he came back, he had a treaty from them thats aid they would leave America's western frontier, but not do anything else. Americans thought that was unfair.
19. I'm not really sure about this one, so i'm just going to guess. I think that when America decided to stay nuetral in the war between Britain and France, the french got mad. They thought the U.S would help because they were allies, and the U.S knew how mean Britain could be. However, George Washington knew that America wasn't very powerful as a country yet and didn't think they were strong enough to go through a war. Basically, the French got all mad about that, so that kind of sparked the undeclared war.
23. The Federalists were led by John Adams, and Alexander Hamilton. They liked a strong central government and were pro-british. They had a large army/navy, and supported a national bank and taxing. Federalists were mostly large land owners. They were business-y.
The Democratic-republicans were led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. They wanted a weak central government and were pro-french. They ahd a small army/navy and did NOT support the national banks or taxes. The democratic-republicans were small farmers and they were agriculture-y.
So, the Democratic-republicans and the Federalists were really different.
ok, well i guessed on some of that, but i hope its right anyway!
THE END!!!!
HI
1.THE MEN IN THE CONSTITUTION CONVENTION WERE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, THE ELDER STATESMEN, JAMES MADISON(WHO LATER BECAME KNOWN AS THE FATHER OF CONSTITUTION), ALEXANDER HAMILTON, GOUVERNEUR MORRIS JOHN DICKINSON. THESE DELEGATES WERE COLLEGE EDUCATED AND MOST OF THEM WERE YOUNG. THEY WERE ALSO WEALTHIER THAN AN AVERAGE AMERICAN IN THEIR TIME AND THEY WERE ALSO WELL KNOWN WITH ISSUES OF LAWS AND POLITICS. SOME OF THESE DELEGATES WERE ALSO PRACTICING LAWYERS WHICH HELPED THEM WRITE THE STATES CONSTITUTIONS.
5. MANY OPPOSED THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION BECAUSE THEY FEARED THAT THEY GOVERNMENT WOULD ABUSE THEIR POWERS EVEN IF THEY WERE ELECTED DEMOCRATICALLY. SO THEN JAMES MADISON AND OTHER DELEGATES WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NEW CONSTITUTION WOULD HAVE A SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES TO GET RID OF THAT FEAR.
9. JAMES MADISON DRAFTED THE BILL OF RIGHTS. HERE ARE THE FIVE RIGHTS INCLUDED:
-1ST AMENDMENT; THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION, SPEECH, PRESS, ASSEMBLY, AND PETITION.

WASHINGTON ISSUED A PROCLAMATION [KNOWN AS THE PROCLAMATION OF NEUTRALITY IN 1793] OF THE US REMAINING NEUTRAL IN THIS CONFLICT. THOMAS JEFFERSON RESIGNED FROM THE CABINET BECAUSE HE DISAGREED WITH WASHINGTONS POLICY. EDMOND GENET, A FRENCH MINISTER OF THE US, ALSO OPPOSED WASHINGTONS ORDER AND BROKE ALL THE NORMAL RULES TO ENCOURAGE AMERICANS TO SUPPORT THE FRENCH CAUSE.
17. WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS WAS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE WASHINGTON DECISION TO LEAVE OFFICE AFTER TWO TERMS MADE LATER PRESIDENTS FOLLOWING HIS EXAMPLE. ALSO, HIS FAREWELL ADDRESS WAS ABOUT POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT HE CONSIDERED UNWISE LIKE:
-NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
-AGAINST THE US MAKING PERMANENT ALLIES IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
-NOT TO FORM POLITICAL PARTIES.

21. THE ALIEN AND SEDITION ACTS WAS WHERE FEDERALISTS ADOPTED THESE LAWS: 1]NATURLIZATION ACTS WHICH INCREASED THE NUMBER OF YEARS REQUIRED FOR AN IMMIGRANT TO BECOME A US CITIZEN. 2]ALIEN ACTS AUTHORIZED THE PRESIDENT TO DEPORT ANY ALIENS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS AND DETAIN ANY ENEMIES ALIENS IN TIME OF WAR. 3]THE SEDITION ACTS MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR NEWSPAPER EDITORS TO CRITICIZE THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS AND IMPOSED HEAVY FINES FOR EDITORS WHO VIOLATED THE LAW.
4. The issues about slavery were to decide on how the slaves were to be invloved in the states and whether slave trade & slavery ALONE should be allowed under the constitution. Then, the 3/5 compromise was decided. It said that a slave was to be counted as 3/5 of a person.
8. The Bill of Rights was added to the constitution because Americans needed to be protected from tyranny. Also, there were various concerns that the federal government would be too powerful under the Constitution. Anti federalists - thought bill of rights was necessary.
12. The disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson about what Hamilton should do as a treasurer concluded with 3 plans. Debt's, tarriffs, and the national bank were to be planned. The Jefferson/Hamilton conflict helped form policitcal parties as well. The disagreements that had occurred during this time had led to the seperation of parties. In 1792-1793 the Hamiltonians (Federalists) and the Jeffersonian (Democratic-Republicans) were formed.
16. The Pickeny Treaty - Spain granted the United States free navigation of the Mississippi River and the right of deposit at New Orleans. The treaty was important because America was being involed in danger since Britian began taking advantage of the treaty - the treaty also established frienship between U.S & spain.
20. The XYZ affair was when French Ministers named XYZ wanted to hide their names and asked for bribery so that the French attacking American trade ships can be negotiated. The Congress refused to bribe which caused Americans to be extermemly angry.

-- Also, the election of 1800 became a "Peaceful Revolution" because the transformation from a former president to a new/current president happened without any violence.
4.What were the issues regarding slavery at the Constitutional Convention? How was the issue of slavery handled at the convention?
Northern and Southern states argued whether slaves could be counted as part of the population. The south wanted slaves counted as people because they wanted more representation in the Congress. But the North wanted slaves counted so that the government could get more money. Three-fifths Compromise was a solution between the disagreement of the North and South states. It counted each slave as 3/5 of a person that would be included in the state's population.
8. Why was the Bill of Rights added to the Constitution?
The Anti-Federalists believed that a Bill of Rights would protect Americans. They were afraid that the government would try to rule them with absolute power. But the Federalists argued that there is no need for more protection. In the end, the Federalists decided to add the Bill of Rights so that they could confirm the Constitution.
12. What happened as a result of the disagreements between Hamilton and Jefferson?
The parties split in two, the Federalists, which supported Hamilton and his financial program.
The opposing party, the Democratic-Republicans, supported Jefferson.
16. What were the terms of the Pinckney Treaty? Why do you think it was important?
The Pinckney Treaty was a treaty, in which Spain agreed to open the lower Mississippi river and New Orleans to America for trading. I think this was important because United States and Spain are developing a friendship.
20. What was the XYZ affair? American response?
The XYZ affair was an incident between France and the US. French ships were taking U.S. ships and many Americans were angry. President Adams tried to make an agreement with the France government. But French ministers, only known as x, Y, and Z demanded bribes in order to come to a agreement. But Adams avoided a war, believing that their army was too weak to fight France.
24. How was Jefferson elected in 1800? Why was the election of 1800 considered a "Peaceful Revolution?"
Jefferson and Aaron Burr came to a tie in the election. After days of debating, the Federalists gave in to Jefferson. It was considered a 'Peaceful Revolution' because the Federalists gave up most of their control of the government to the Democratic-Republican party.

7. Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and Edmund Randolph made up the first cabinet.
11. ??
15. George Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality was ignored by Great Britain, who believed that the U.S. was secretly cooperating with the French. Britain's response was to capture several American ships in the west Indies. Washington knew he could not allow his country to continue to be a target of Great Britain, so thats when John Jay negotiated a treaty in 1794, called the Jay's Treaty.
19.Was it the French Revolution?
23. The differences between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans was the the federalists was the party who were very strong in the northeastern states, and whose political philosophy favored the growth of the federal power. Their foreign policy was pro-British, their military policy was large peacetime army and navy, and their domestic policy was aid business, national bank, and tariffs. On the other hand, the Democratic-Republicans were the party whose supporters were chiefly in the southern states, and on the western frontier and whose political philosophy favored the protection of states' rights and strict containment of federal power. They were pro-argiculture, and pro-french and believed the Federalists were elitist. So yeah, they both had their differences.
Hope I didnt do bad.
