Everything else goes to the state.-Article I, section 8 grants the government the power to make all laws “necessary and proper” for carrying out its powers-The conflict is determining if the federal government or the states has the power

3/11
Weak (no) executive
Quarreling among states
No power to tax, raise money
Problems with boundaries
No respect from other countries
Shays’ rebellion4/11
SHAYS’ REBELLION (rude awakening)
The rebellion of farmers in 1787 provided the elite society with a “wake up call” about the need for a stronger central government…
5/11
B. SHAYS’ REBELLION
The Articles of Confederation stayed in place from 1781-1787…
6/11

JAMES MADISON
ALEX… HAMILTON
GEORGE MASON
PATRICK HENRY
JAMES WINTHROP
JOHN HANCOCK
GEORGE CLINTON
WHAT DID THEY ARGUE? STRONGER CENTRAL GOV’T WAS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN ORDER & PRESERVE UNION
STRONGER CENTRAL GOVERNMENT WOULD
DESTROY THE WORK OF THE REVOUTION, LIMIT
DEMOCRACY, AND RESTRICT STATES’ RIGHTS
Federalists support the Constitution, Anti-Federalists do not. Washington is a Federalist…
The Federalist Papers (written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay)
were written for a New York newspaper and presented reasons for supporting the Constitution.
The biggest objection to the constitution was overcome by adding the Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments).

PHILOSOPHICAL INFLUENCES ON THE CONSTITUTIONMONTESQUIEU
Gives us the idea of “separation of powers”--each branch has it’s own duties
SOCIAL CONTRACT THEORISTS
THE KING (AUTHORITY) HAS THE DUTY TO PROVIDE SECURITY.
PEOPLE AGREE TO FORM A SOCIETY (BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT) AND GOVERNMENT (BY MAJORITY) IS RESPONSIBLE TO THEM. LESS GOVERNMENT = MORE FREEDOM
EACH MEMBER SURRENDERS RIGHTS TO THE COMMUNITY. THE GENERAL WILL IS ALWAYS RIGHT
