Preamble
An introduction to a document

its purpose
![Page 14: NS1 3.2 Foundations Of Us Government](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55546741b4c905a5798b4dd4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

them to the
separation”
14
![Page 15: NS1 3.2 Foundations Of Us Government](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55546741b4c905a5798b4dd4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

God does not select
some people to be
rulers by divine right:
“…all men are
created equal…"
“…endowed by their
Creator with certain
unalienable rights…”
“…among these are
Life, Liberty, and the
pursuit of
Happiness...”
Second Part Concept
![Page 16: NS1 3.2 Foundations Of Us Government](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55546741b4c905a5798b4dd4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

18
Instead of accepting
the “divine right”
concept, Founders
concluded:
• governments derive
“just powers” from
“consent of the
governed”
• governments exist
for people, not the
other way around
King George IIIruled by
divine right

37
Shay’s Rebellion and the Need
for a Stronger Government
1786-Daniel Shays—leader of
Massachusetts farmers heavily indebt, losing homes and farms to taxes.
Sympathetic mobs intervened to keep
farmers’ (many Revolutionary War
Veterans) properties.
![Page 38: NS1 3.2 Foundations Of Us Government](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55546741b4c905a5798b4dd4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
On January 25, 1787, to arm themselves,
the group attacked the Continental Army
Arsenal in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Rebellion failed when fired upon but it
was a warning to authorities.
Articles of Confederation requiredunanimous consent of all states before
Federal action so this was a state matter.
This demonstrated the weakness of the
Articles of Confederation. 38
![Page 39: NS1 3.2 Foundations Of Us Government](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55546741b4c905a5798b4dd4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

“We are either a united people or we are
not. If the former, let us act as a nation.
If we are not, let us no longer act a farce
by pretending to it.”
George Washington
(private citizen 1783-1787)
wrote to James Madison
(future drafter of
the Constitution):
![Page 40: NS1 3.2 Foundations Of Us Government](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55546741b4c905a5798b4dd4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Under the Articles of Confederation, the
government had no:
• real taxing authority
• executive or judicial branch
• power to regulate trade
• power to regulate relations
between states, or a state and
a foreign country40
![Page 41: NS1 3.2 Foundations Of Us Government](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110118/55546741b4c905a5798b4dd4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
States could not
agree on a national
currency, each
state printed
its own.
It required a two-
thirds vote by the
delegates to pass a
law.
