This is an image of the Constitutional Convention or the meeting to create the rules for our government. Who is missing from this image? The Signing of the U.S. Constitution In 1787, delegates from every state met in Philadelphia at a Constitutional Convention to discuss ideas about how our new country should be governed. George Washington was chosen as the Convention’s leader as delegates set out to write a new plan for government, the Constitution of the United States. The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land that outlines a set of basic laws for organizing, granting, and limiting the powers of our government. It is the framework for a government that puts the power in the hands of the people. The United States Constitution was developed in 87 days and signed by 39 delegates on September 17, 1787. What was the Constitutional Convention? May 14- September 17, 1787 Philadelphia, PA Purpose: decide how America was going to be governed 55 delegates attended- Rhode Island did not send any delegates The delegates elected George Washington to be in charge of the Convention Imagine… It is May 1787 and you have come to Philadelphia to ﬁx the problems created by the Articles of Confederation Today we will debate the issues the delegates debated. Issue #1 How should states be represented in the new government? Option A : The number of representatives a state sends to Congress will depend on the state’s population. Option B : Each state will have equal representation in Congress, regardless of the state’s size. Issue #1 What Did They Decide in Real Life? Finally, a compromise was proposed based on a plan put forward earlier by Roger Sherman of Connecticut. The compromise plan kept a two-house Congress. The ﬁrst house, the House of Representatives, would represent the people. In this house, the number of representatives from each state would be based on the state‘s population. The second house, the Senate, would represent the states. Each state would have two senators, to be elected by their state legislatures. The vote was very close, but the compromise plan was approved. This plan saved the convention and became known as the Great Compromise. Issue 2: Should enslaved people be counted as part of a state’s population? We will not debate this issue, but the delegates did Option A: Count enslaved people as property. Enslaved people do not count as people for the purposes of representation in Congress. Option B: Count enslaved people as people to determine representation in Congress. Option C: Propose a Compromise Issue 2: What Did They Decide in Real Life? After a bitter debate, Madison proposed a compromise. Count each slave as three ﬁfths of a person, he suggested, when determining a state‘s population. The delegates approved this idea, known as the three-ﬁfths compromise. The delegates adopted the compromise because it seemed the only way to keep the convention moving forward. Issue 3: Ratiﬁcation Option A: Sign the Constitution Option B: Do not sign unless there is a bill of rights to protect people’s natural rights Option C: Do not sign because it gives the national (federal) government too much power over the states Option D: Leave the Convention before the vote in protest Issue 3: What Did They Decide in Real Life? By the end of summer, the hard work of designing the Constitution was ﬁnished. But the new plan still had to be accepted by the states. Approving the Constitution The ﬁrst question was how many states would have to ratify , or approve, the Constitution before it could go into effect. Should ratiﬁcation require approval by all 13 states? By a majority of 7 states? The framers compromise on 9 states. The Constitution would be ratiﬁed at special conventions by delegates elected by the people in each state. Signing the Constitution On September 17, 1787, the delegates declared the Constitution complete. Fourteen delegates left the convention before it ended, and three other doubters—Edmund Randolph and George Mason of Virginia, and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts—did not sign the Constitution either. Mason felt it gave too much power to the national government. Gerry refused to sign because he believed the new plan did not protect the rights of the people. When the signing was over, Franklin confessed that he had often looked at the sun carved on the back of George Washington‘s chair and wondered whether it was about to rise or set. “But now,” he said, “I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.” A new day was dawning for the United States. At the Constitutional Convention….. Delegates debated over how much power should be given to the new national government and how large and small states should be represented in the new government. The Great Compromise decided how many votes each state would have in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Constitution was signed at the end of the convention. Ratiﬁcation of the Constitution meant that a minimum of nine of the thirteen states had to vote in favor of the Constitution before it could become law. The structure of the new national government included three separate branches of government: Legislative (makes the laws) Executive (carries out laws) Judicial (interprets laws) Click on the infographic above to learn more about the three branches of the United States government.

Your Task: Your Task: 4 The Preamble Essential Standard: 🌎 USI.7.b Describe the historical development of the Constitution of the United States. (PRS 3) The Preamble The Preamble The Framers wrote an introduction, also called a preamble, to the Constitution. The Preamble states the purposes of our Constitution. It includes some of the basic ideas about government. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. What words are familiar and unfamiliar to you? Who are “We the People?” When you think about the words, “We the People,” as written in the Preamble, who were the framers thinking of? Who is included in this phrase at the time? Who is not included?

(PRS 3) Bill of Rights In the United States, the ﬁrst 10 amendments to the Constitution are called the Bill of Rights. many people wanted to protect individual rights and limit government power. Their demands led lawmakers to add 10 amendments to the Constitution in 1791. Among other things, those amendments guarantee freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the right to public assembly. The rights granted by the Bill of Rights are not absolute. Decisions by judges have expanded some rights and reduced others. Bill of Rights After the delegates at the Constitutional Convention wrote the Constitution, people in many states, including Massachusetts, were worried that they made the new government too strong. They knew Britain made something similar about 100 years earlier and it said what the King could not do. They also knew some states had these, such as Virginia and Massachusetts. To convince all of the states to vote for the new Constitution, they proposed a Bill of Rights, which would be amendments to the Constitution Amendment= to change something Bill of Rights Let’s read the student friendly version of the Bill of Rights. YOUR TASK After discussing each with your group, put numbers next to the amendments you think are more important (1 being most important) and less important (10 being least important). The Northwest Ordinance was an outcome of the Articles of Confederation. What is an ordinance? An ordinance is a law set forth by a local, state, or national government. The Northwest Ordinance was a law passed by the United States Congress on July 13, 1787. It provided for the government of the region north of the Ohio River and west of Pennsylvania, then called the Northwest Territory. It became a model for all territories that later entered the Union as states. This ordinance impacted many groups of people who lived in the United States at the time. [World Book Student] The Northwest Ordinance Territories could achieve equality with older states by passing through three steps leading to full self-government: (1) Congress, which governed the territory, appointed a governor, a secretary, and three judges. (2) When the territory, or any division of it, attained an adult male population of 5,000, it could choose a legislature and send to Congress a delegate who could speak there but not vote. (3) When the total population reached 60,000, the territory could apply for admission into the Union on terms of full equality with the older states. [World Book Student] The Northwest Ordinance…...

The Northwest Territory eventually became five states—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The territory included what is now the part of Minnesota east of the Mississippi River. The Northwest Territory's first settlement and its first capital was established at Marietta, Ohio, in 1788. [World Book Student] How has the land that became “The United States” changed over time?
