3 BIG ISSUES IN THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
• How will states be represented?
• How will power be shared?
• Who will get lands in the West?
![Page 5: Chapter 5 Things that are key in this chapter… The Articles of Confederation The Constitutional Convention The New Constitution The Bill of Rights](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5514f6e4550346b0338b61fd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Articles ofConfederation
Were weak because that is what the colonies wanted.
The federal government could:
-declare war, make peace, sign treaties, borrow money, set weights and measures, create a postal service, deal w/ natives.
The federal government could not:
-enforce it’s laws, tax, create national courts.

Lands in the West were an issue!!!
• The colonies CEDED all of their lands to the federal government.
• Two key laws were made to control those lands.
![Page 7: Chapter 5 Things that are key in this chapter… The Articles of Confederation The Constitutional Convention The New Constitution The Bill of Rights](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5514f6e4550346b0338b61fd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Established a plan for surveying and dividing the land.
• Look at the map of states the existed before it!!

• Created the process for dividing land into territories.
• Set requirements for the admission of new states.
• What about the natives?
![Page 13: Chapter 5 Things that are key in this chapter… The Articles of Confederation The Constitutional Convention The New Constitution The Bill of Rights](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5514f6e4550346b0338b61fd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How a territory becomes a state?
• 1. Congress appoints a territorial governor and judges.
• 2. When a territory has 5,000 voting residents, they can write a temporary constitution and elect a government.
• 3. When the pop. reaches 60,000 free inhabitants, the residents write a constitution and when it is approved, they can become a state.

The government faced some problems it couldn’t solve!!!

Constitutional Convention

A few facts…
• They were only supposed to fix the Articles of Confederation.
• They met from May to September in 1787.
• The meeting was secret!!! People knew they were meeting but they did not share details.
![Page 19: Chapter 5 Things that are key in this chapter… The Articles of Confederation The Constitutional Convention The New Constitution The Bill of Rights](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013003/5514f6e4550346b0338b61fd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
First they agree to…
• Scrap the Articles of Confederation.
• Create 3 Branches of Government. Why?
ExecutiveExecutive
LegislativeLegislative
JudicialJudicial

• How will the states be represented in the government?

2 plans were proposed
• The New Jersey Plan
– Each State would get equal representation in Congress
– This would make smaller states more powerful.
• The Virginia Plan
– Each state would get representation based upon population
– This would give large states greater representation.

So in order to “protect” the country they created…
• The Electoral College
• The indirect election of Senators
• States created land ownership requirements in order to vote.

And so..
• In Late 1787 the constitution is adopted by the states…
• But only after they promise to make a list of rights reserved to the people.
• 1789- The Bill of Rights is adopted.
