    POLS 201 The Constitution

    The Constitution of the United States has always been known as the lifeblood of our government and the rights of the people. This historical document was not always in place however. Before this “living document” and basis for United States rights and laws was formed there was the Articles of Confederation. Signed in 1777 by the original 13 colonies as a means of establishing the United States of American and served as our new founded countries first constitution. This document however, “did not provide the centralizing force necessary for unity among the new states and were soon found to be so fundamentally weak that a different political structure was vital.” (Breckenridge pg.19) Congress authorized a Constitutional Convention to revise the Articles in February of 1787. In the months that followed the delegates assembled and addressed the concerns within our fledgling nation. This was the beginning of our Constitution of the United States.…

    Philadelphia Constitutional Convention Report

    The simulated Constitution Convention that we held in class today was very eye-opening. Reading about the events that took place that day in Philadelphia, and actually participating in the tedious act certainly put things into perspective. It was interesting to take the concerns of the colonists in 1787 and fight for them as they did 230 years ago. By conducting this experiment, we got the chance to put ourselves in the delegates shoes and voice our apprehensions and get a sense of the hardships they had to face in that Pennsylvania State House the hot summer of 1787. Anyone can research the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention, but by reenacting, and actually revising our own Convention in class, we got a real appreciation of what occurred…

    Constitution Paper

    From March 25, 1787 to September 17, 1787, 55 delegates from 12 of the 13 states of the United States of America met at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia to draft a new Constitution. The bundle of compromises set forth by the Constitution solved the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation by establishing clear principles of how the federal government would be run. These Constitutional compromises were the Great Compromise or the Connecticut plan, the Three-Fifths Compromise and the Electoral College compromise.…

    Constitution

    The term parchment is a general term for an animal skin which has been prepared for writing or printing. Parchment has been made for centuries, and is usually calf, goat, or sheep skin. The term vellum from the French veau refers to a parchment made from calf skin. The manufacture of parchment is quite involved. After the skin is removed from the animal and any hair or flesh is cleaned away, it is stretched on a wooden frame. While it is stretched, the parchment maker or parchminer scrapes the surface of the skin with a special curved knife. In order to create tension in the skin, scraping is alternated by wetting and drying the skin. The parchment is scraped, wetted, and dried several times to bring it to the right thickness and tautness. Sometimes a final finish is achieved using pumice as an abrasive followed by chalk in order to prepare the surface of the skin to accept ink.…

    The Constitution Café written by Christopher Phillips is mainly about the viewpoints of Americans around the country and what could be different about the Constitution. While the majority of Americans he met from the meetings felt like there should be a few things added to the articles of the Constitution, because things are different today than when it was first written in 1787. The book informs the readers on the basics of our rights and understanding more about the Constitution itself.…

    The First Constitution

    The first constitution in our nation 's history was the U.S. Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was formed by the Continental Congress on November 15, 1777. However, sanction of the Articles of Confederation by all thirteen states did not occur until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, which resulted in most of the power residing with the state governments. The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The present United States Constitution replaced the Articles of Confederation on March 4, 1789 (Researchers, 2013).…

    The Constitution

    The United States Constitution is a document of much significance. It replaced the Articles of Confederation due to the fact that they did not meet the appropriate standards of our quickly evolving nation. Numerous years have passed since its creation, and over time historians have taken the time to make judgment on it; some positive and some negative. Amongst many historians, there is the question of the documents meaning and its origin. All historians believe that the Constitution was written in means of helping the common good of the people, however some believe it favored a certain wealthy class and it wasn’t fair for the complete population. This is where Federalists and Anti-Federalists came into play. Federalists were typically of higher class who owned property and wanted a stronger central government for land security purposes. This group included merchants, financers, and manufacturers. The Anti-Federalists were of lower class including small farmers, debtors, and laborers who feared a strong central government. National, Progressive and Consensus historians including; John Fiske, Carl Becker, Charles Beard, Merrill Jensen, Robert Brown, Forrest McDonald, and Gordon Woods took part in reviewing the constitution itself. All of which had their own observations and ideas with varying reasons why they came to the conclusions that they did.…
