Government Structure• Congress – 1
branch• Confederation
Congress• No executive
branch or president
• No judicial system• One vote per state
regardless of size
State Responsibilitie
s• Obey Articles & acts
of Congress• Provide funds &
troops when “requested” by
Congress• States regulated own
trade & taxed each other
• States had their own currency
Powers of Congress• Make war &
peace• Make treaties• Build navy &
army• Settle disputes
among states• Set up monetary
system
Major Problem: Created a weak national gov’t that could not tax, regulate trade or enforce its laws because the states held more power than the National Government.

Historical Background 1. Why was the Electoral College created by the Framers?
Created as an alternative to either popular election or Congress electing the President.
Each state chose electors---based on the number of representatives each states has in Congress.
2. Electoral vote was state to state---each elector voted for two candidates…. One vote per candidate. Electors vote with the “will” of the people from the
state they represented…but not required. Candidate with the most votes became President;
runner-up became Vice President.3. In case of a tie, the House of Representatives elected the
President.

• North-South Issues:–“Three-Fifths Compromise”
•Slaves count as 3/5 a person for representation in House
–Slave Trade to end in 1808

• Separation of Powers–“checks & balances”–Executive = enforce the law–Legislative = make the law–Judicial = interpret the law–3 are separate (have different
powers) & co-equal –check and balance one another to
make sure one branch does not get to powerful
![Page 42: The Confederation & the Constitution 1776-1790 State Constitutions Features: –Bill of rights –Annual elections –Weak executive & judicial –Strong legislative](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f0d5503460f94c20f83/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

• Attempt to check “mob”–All delegates feared manhood-
suffrage democracy–Only House chosen by direct
vote• Only legitimate gov’t was one
based on consent of governed–“We the people…”

• No Bill of Rights because…–Hypocritical of southerners–States already had them–Very delicate agreement
already

Art. 5, 6, 7
A strong national gov’t over the states was needed to protect “life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness”
Constitution was a “sound” document which “limited” the power of the national gov’t
Gave it power to settle problems within the country
Representative democracy is what the constitution was built on and stated in the Preamble, “We the People”
Appealed to more the wealthy, business owners, and educated
Notables:• Alexander
Hamilton • George
Washington• Ben Franklin• John Adams
• James Madison
Federalists
![Page 49: The Confederation & the Constitution 1776-1790 State Constitutions Features: –Bill of rights –Annual elections –Weak executive & judicial –Strong legislative](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649f0d5503460f94c20f83/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Art. 5, 6, 7
The national gov’t was too powerful and it would take away your right to “life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness”
The constitution was a threat to the “rights” we fought for in the Revolution
States” should have more authority than the national gov’t
Feared representative democracy was threatened because our rights were not protected
Appealed to the common man, farmers, and less educated
Notables:• ThomasJefferson
• Patrick Henry • Sam Adams
Anti-Federalists

isolated state

–New York had to be convinced•Federalist Papers written by Hamilton, Jay & Madison
•Could not survive alone–NC & RI ratify after already
