Lesson 2 A New Constitution
A.Main Idea: Although delegates to the Constitutional Convention intended to revise the Articles of Confederation, they realized a new plan of government was needed. 1. 1787; Philadelphia 2. George Washington 3. Virginia 4. three; population
B. Main Idea: Because the delegates found themselves divided on the issues of representation and slavery, compromise was necessary. 1. Great Compromise; representation 2. two; population; equal 3. Three-Fifths; three; five
C. Main Idea: The new Constitution was based on the idea of popular sovereignty and established a federal form of government. 1. separation of powers 2. write the laws 3. executive 4. judicial
Summary and Reflection Answers will vary, but they should recognize that the government laid out by the Constitution has more power than that laid out by the Articles of Confederation (such as the power to enforce treaties, levy taxes, and regulate trade), but separates its power among branches that check and balance each other (for example, through the presidential veto, the impeachment process, and judicial review).
