Hillsborough Convention

Massachusetts Compromise

Happened in the transition between the Articles of Confederation and The U.S. constitution. There were multiple problems with the Articles of Confederation. The founding fathers attempted to fix problems, but needed 9/13 colonies approval to ratify it. This caused a split in opinion. Four small states quickly ratified the Constitution, and Pennsylvania was the first large state to act. There were two main groups in the debate: Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Federalists: wanted to ratify. (Alexander Hamilton and James 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.

Roman Caposino September 3rd-9th, 2013 Chapter II Questions AP Government/Politics At the time of the Revolution, most colonists believed that English politicians tended to be corrupt, and therefore the English constitution by which these politicians governed was not an adequate guarantee of the liberty of the citizens. Colonists believed that their rights and liberties were supplied by God, and included life, liberty, and property. To the colonists, the revolution was a war of political liberties rather than economic issue. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation: The government could not levy taxes or regulate commerce. Each state retained its sovereignty and independence.
