There were many battles fought and the colonies gained their freedom and became the independent country of the United States. The American Revolutionary War lasted from 1775 until 1783.?13 Colonies? Before the American Revolution, there were several British Colonies in the Americas. Not all of them participated in the revolution. There were?13 colonies?which ended up rebelling. These were Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island.?Representation? One of the main reasons that the colonists rebelled against Great Britain is that they felt they were not represented in the British government. The British government was making new laws and taxes on the colonies, but the colonies had no say. They wanted to have some say in the British government if they were going to pay high taxes and have to live by British law.?War? War didn't happen right away. First there were protests and arguments. Then some small skirmishes between the colonists and the local British army. Things just got worse and worse over the course of years until the colonies and Great Britain were at war.?Independence? Each colony had its own local government. In 1774 they each elected officials to represent them at the First Continental Congress. This was the first effort of the colonies to unite and make a single government. In 1776 the Second Continental Congress declared the independence of the United States from Great Britain.?New Government? The new government of the United States was different than the government of the colonist's homeland, Great Britain. They decided that they didn't want to be ruled by a king anymore. They wanted a government that was ruled by the people. The new government would be a democratic government with leaders elected by the people and balances of power to make sure that no one could become king.?Fun Facts about the American RevolutionThe first shot fired in the American Revolution was on April 19, 1775 and is called the "shot heard round the world".John Adams was the defense attorney for the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre. He would later become a great leader in the Revolution and the 2nd president of the United States.George Washington, the first President, only attended school until he was 14 years old. He became Commander of the Virginia Militia when he was just 23.The Battle of Bunker Hill was actually fought on Breed's Hill.Although the war was between the colonies and Great Britain, other countries got involved as well. The French were a major ally to the colonies and there were French, German, and Spanish soldiers who fought in the war.What country did the American colonies rebel against? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How many of the American Colonies were a part of the revolution? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How long was the Revolutionary War? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What year did the Revolutionary War begin? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What was the main reason that the American Colonies rebelled and fought for their independence? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What was the name of the group that declared the independence of the United States? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What year did the United States issue the Declaration of Independence? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________When and what was the first shot in the American Revolution called? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Which European country became a major ally to the United States during the Revolutionary War? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What type of government did the new country of the United States form? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Name: ________________________________________________Date: ___________ Saunders/Mrs. McNerneyUS History/_______Do Now: What was one political, social and economic effect of the American Revolution? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Constitutional Foundations: Notes 2American Thought during and after the American RevolutionColonists thought that the National Government should be?____________________.The British government was too?_________________________Colonists believed that the _________________________?could make all the decisionsThe idea of?_________________________________________________Thought that direct democracy would take?__________________________Believed that most people are?_____________________________________________________The United States?FIRST?government: The Articles of?ConfederationAccording to our previous definition of Confederation, what would it mean as it pertains to the 13 colonies?That all the colonies are?_____________________That to pass a law?___________________________ have to agreeDownfalls of the Articles of ConfederationThe?____________________________?had all the _________________________The?States?were the only ones that could?___________________________________________________The?_____________________________?had their own armiesThe?States?created their own ___________________________The?_________________________?made their own treaties with natives and nationsCould?___________________________________________________?the national debtThe national government had to?_____________?states for money to pay __________________________There were many states that were ready to go to war?__________________________________Overall which level of government had more power?

This is the branch of government that has the power to make laws for the nation. States with large populations wanted the number of representatives in the House of Representatives (one of the two houses of Congress) to be based on the size of a state's population. Those states with the most people would have the most representatives. States with small populations wanted each state to have the same number of representatives, like under the Articles of Confederation. This argument carried on for two months. In the end, the delegates agreed to the "Great Compromise." One branch, the House of Representatives, would be based on population. The other, the Senate, would have two members from each state.Under the proposed Constitution, the size of a state’s population would determine three matters:(1) How many members each state would have in the House of Representatives. (2) How many electoral votes each state would have in presidential elections. (3) The amount each state would pay in direct taxes to the federal government.Part of this compromise included a question that divided the convention on North-South lines. The question was: “Should slaves count as part of the population? “Only the Southern states had large numbers of slaves. Counting them as part of the population would greatly increase the South's political power, but it would also mean paying higher taxes. This was a price the Southern states were willing to pay. They argued in favor of counting slaves. Northern states disagreed. The delegates compromised. To figure out the number of representatives each had they would count the free population and add 3/5 of the number of slaves held in that state. In Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution, the 3/5 Compromise is stated:"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Number of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons[slaves].Source: Constitutional Rights Foundation Questions:1. Why did the Southern states want to count slaves as part of the population to be counted towards their number of representatives in Congress? ________________________________2. Given this information, what might the impact of the 3/5 Compromise on slavery? Would it be more likely to support its existence and growth, or more likely to lead to its abolition? Explain.________________________________Part II – CalculationsCalculating how many representatives in Congress a state would have if all the people living in the state were counted.The chart below provides 1790 census (population) data for four states.

Ohio (1957): In May 1957, three police officers arrived at Dollree Mapp’s home after having received a tip that a fugitive had hidden there. Mapp, who had phoned her attorney, refused to admit the police officers. Three hours later, they knocked on the door, and when Mapp did not immediately answer, they forced the door open and entered. Mapp demanded to see a search warrant. One of the officers held up a piece of paper, claiming it was the warrant. After a scuffle, the officers handcuffed Mapp. The police then began to search the house. They did not find a fugitive in the house; however, in the course of their search they turned up some material they deemed obscene. Mapp was charged and eventually convicted of having offensive books and pictures in her possession. ?Engel v. Vitale (1962): In 1951 the New York State Board of Regents, which supervises the state’s public school system, approved a brief prayer at the start of each day. The prayer read: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our Country.” School districts were not required to use the prayer, and students were not required to recite it. In 1958, the New Hyde Park school board adopted the prayer and directed that it be recited each day in every class, although students could be excused from reciting it. Steven Engel, the parent of two children in the New Hyde Park schools, objected to this practice and asked a state court to order the prayer dropped. Tinker v. Des Moines (1969): Throughout the 1960s, television broadcasts carried graphic images of the Vietnam War. In December of 1965, John Tinker, his sister Mary Beth, and their friend Christopher Eckhardt decided to protest the war. They planned to wear black armbands to their schools in Des Moines, Iowa. When the school board learned of their plans, it adopted a policy that banned the wearing of armbands. Any students who violated this policy would be suspended. Several students, including the Tinkers, went ahead with their protest. The students were suspended when they refused to remove their armbands.Amendments 11 through 27 cover a range of rights as well as limitations:Amendment 11 establishes judicial limits.Amendment 12 outlines the process for electing the President and Vice President.Amendment 13 abolishes slavery.Amendment 14 describes the privileges of citizenship.Amendment 15 states that the right to vote shall not be denied on account of race.Amendment 16 gives Congress the power to collect income taxes.Amendment 17 establishes the election of Senators by popular vote.Amendment 18 prohibited the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors.Amendment 19 states that the right to vote shall not be denied on account of sex.Amendment 20 sets the beginning of congressional and presidential terms of office.Amendment 21 repeals the eighteenth amendment.Amendment 22 defines presidential term limits.Amendment 23 gives presidential voting rights to the District of Columbia.Amendment 24 states that the right to vote shall not be denied on account of any poll tax.Amendment 25 delineates presidential succession.Amendment 26 establishes the right to vote at age eighteen years or older.Amendment 27 limits congressional pay increases. ................
