Document Summary
Pols 1602 , lecture 3 , the founding and the constitution (pt 2) Formal statement of many of the colonist"s aspirations. Gradually gets louder like a crescendo in music. Start out by listing the king"s abuses. A complete and forceful overthrow of an established political system. A radical pervasive change in society and social structure. A complete and marked change in something. A war between citizens of the same country. Failures of the articles of confederation (1st constitution) Drawn up by 2nd constitutional convention and took 4 years to ratify. Poor national government, weak trade, no national currency. No standing militia or army, weak defense. Conflict between farmers (debtors) and merchants (loaners) Colonial leaders got together and decided that maybe we need a central government. If there was an army, probably wouldn"t have had the rebellion. Desire building up to change national government so they call a convention in philadelphia.
