To begin, there were such huge numbers of various thoughts that came into play making the Constitution of the United States. The Founding Fathers brought a significant number of various types of government for our new nation becoming free from Britain. They needed to improve an administration than what Britain was. However, they needed a legislature that would work for a considerable length of time after as well. So a chosen few were helped make this conceivable, the Founding Fathers.
Nick Bennett AP US “Factions” DBQ After the American Revolution America struggled in ideas, compensation in debt, and compromising of ideas. The differences that many expressed made the division of government into two political parties inevitable. President George Washington warned that creating political parties would divide the American people apart. Despite his warning, two political parties arose from the different opinions expressed throughout politics. Hamilton and Jefferson’s plans differed opinionated, economically, and politically.
During the years of 1860 and 1861, eleven southern states seceded from the union. The decision by these states to secede was made after many different significant events took place, over several years prior to their decision. Many of these events had to do with the issue of slavery in the South and the northern states opposition to slavery, but not all of them. The North and the South during this time were completely different in every aspect and therefore had very different opinions on how the nation should be run and how much power the federal government should have. The primary motivation for the secession of the southern states was their belief that their rights given to them under the constitution were being taken away by the northern controlled federal government and the new regionally dominated Republican Party.
However, some people, such as Jefferson and small farmers opposed his ideas, because they believed in states' rights and a strict interpretation of the constitution, which led to the split of two different political parties. Before Hamilton's plan, America was having financial problems. There were war debts that were unpaid and individual states and even Congress issued worthless paper money. Hamilton created a plan that would first pay down the national debt and then assume the debt of the states. This was called the Assumption Plan.
At this time there was a struggle between northern states(anti-slave states) and southern states(slave states). Both wanter to maintain power of government without the other trying to as well. This was shown when Tallmadge and Thomas both came up with amendments for congress’ conundrum. Tallmadge was a northerner who didn’t want slavery to exsist in the newly found state. Not because of the morality of it all but because he didn’t want the south to maintain more power.
Outline Although the founding of the Constitution was a revolutionary, positive turning-point in American history, the US Constitution has a few unconstitutional and democratic shortcomings. Introduction In order to understand the shortcomings of democracy of the US Constitution, is it is important to know the background of its’ founding and how each article serves our country. Federalist No. 10, written by James Madison, asserts the importance of having the image of a democracy without its real substance. There seems to have been a very strong opposition towards democracy at the Constitutional Convention, although the framers were in the midst of creating democratic principles to appeal to the majority of the country.
The stark diffrences between the two parties lead the the demise of the Federalist Parties and the rise of the Democratic Republicans. The Federalist and the Democratic Republicans have many different views on how they believe the government should be and how it should be set up. The federalists lead by Alexander Hamilton believed that the United States should create the first national bank, to help fund the nations debt from the war and to establish a states government and not a central government , but the Democratic Republicans believed it was against the constitution to establish a national bank, the Democratic Republicans also believed that a strong central government should be established instead of a states government, and with this one currency instead of one for every state. The Federalists also believed that a protective Tariff should be put in place to shield infant industries, the Federalist also believed in commercial trade throughout the sea ports to other countries. The Democratic Republicans on the other hand believed that no special tariff should be put on the manufacturers, and didn't believe in commercial trade they believed in agriculture.
According to Madison’s notes it’s because “the delegates thought it wrong to admit in the constitution the idea that there could be property in men (Spalding, pg. 463). Washington a slave holder was even against slavery, he wrote “there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery” (Spalding, pg. 461). America was not the only country of course that practiced slavery; there were many countries that had practiced slavery before.
Standing up for what is right and fighting to achieve your goals. To me those are all great things that makes the greatest leader of the country. Sometimes being a good leader means that you have to sacrifice family and friends and the ability to not be afraid of the unknown. Being honest as a leader makes a lot of difference. It makes citizens want to trust you , it makes them want to trust the promises that you've made as a president or leader, or even a mayor.
People all over the country felt that the deciding factor for freeing slaves would affect their own lives. This issue increasingly divided the North and South. There are many reasons why these times were full of crisis and controversy; the compromise of 1850, Kansas-Nebraska Act, The Dred Scott v. Sanford case, as well as several others. As for the Compromise of 1850, Congress debated the terms under which California would enter the Union. Stephen Douglas, a Democratic senator from Illinois, helped to put together the Compromise and enter California as a free state.
