  2. Ch. 8 Section 3 Ratifying the Constitution

  3. Federalists and Anti-Federalists • In 1788, in Connecticut, 168 delegates met to decide whether or not to ratify the U.S. Constitution • The framers (writers) of the Constitution explained that the Constitution would be based on Federalism

  4. Federalism • A system of government in which power is shared between the central (federal/national) government and the states. • People who supported the Constitution were called Federalists. • People who opposed the Constitution were called Anti-Federalists.

  5. Federalists • Supported removing some powers from the states and giving more powers to the national government • Favored dividing powers among different branches of government • Proposed a single person to lead the executive branch (president)

  6. Anti-Federalists • Wanted important political powers to remain with the states • Wanted the legislative branch to have more power than the executive • Feared that a strong executive (president) might become a king or tyrant • Believed a bill of rights needed to be added to protect people’s rights

  7. The Federalist Papers • Essays written by Federalists like James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay • Used both emotion and reason to get people on board • “I am clearly of the opinion it is in your interest to adopt it. I am convinced that this is the safest course for your liberty, your dignity, and your happiness.”—A. Hamilton

  8. The Battle for Ratification • By February 1788, Georgia, Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania voted for ratification • The document was officially ratified, but still missing New York and Virginia • Without these states votes, the nation could be separated into two parts

  9. The Battle for Ratification Cont… • Patrick Henry fought against ratification • George Mason, from Virginia, was also opposed • Both men refused to sign until a Bill of Rights was added • With the promise of a Bill of Rights, Rhode Island became the last state to ratify in 1790

  10. The Bill of Rights • ¾ of the states had to ratify the amendments (Bill of Rights) • With Virginia’s vote, the Bill of Rights were ratified in 1791

  11. Follow Up • What were The Federalist papers? • Who wrote them? • Which states had strong opposition to the Constitution? • What was the purpose of the Bill of Rights?
