The Constitutional Convention (1787)

Below is a chart detailing various issues that faced the framers of the constitution. The solutions that they created became the Constitution of the United States of America.


Issue
Compromise/Solutions

Representation:
1. How would the legislature be chosen? The large states wanted representation based upon population; the smaller states wanted all states represented equally.

2. How would slaves be counted? The North wanted slaves counted for tax purposes, the south wanted slaves counted for the purposes of representation in Congress.

1. The Great Compromise: A bicameral legislature consisting of two houses was set up:
a) The Senate: Upper House, all states represented equally, 2 per state.
b) The House of Representatives: Representation by population. 435 members subject to change as per US census.
2. The 3/5 Compromise: Slaves were to be counted in the following manner; 5 slaves equaled three persons.

Slavery:
1. Would slavery continue?
1. Yes, but the Constitutional convention banned importation of slaves after 1808.

The Presidency:
1. How would the President be elected?
2. How long would the Presidents term of office be?
1. The Electoral College was created to vote for the President. Each state was given the same number of electors as they had representatives. In later years the Electoral college promised to vote based upon the what the majority of each state wanted. This became known as the electoral college promise.
2-- 4 Years.

Power of the Federal Government
1. How would the powers of the states (something very important to the colonists who at that time felt more like "Virginians or Pennsylvanians" then Americans) be protected?

2. How would the central government's power be limited do that it could not take away peoples rights?


​1. Federalism - The Federal system (also known as Division of Powers) was created. The federal government was given certain powers, the states were given certain powers and there were certain powers that they shared.

2. Checks and Balances: The government was divided into three branches. Each branch (Executive, Legislative and Judicial) was given certain powers that limited the powers of the other branches. In this way no one branch can gain too much power. This is also known as separation of powers.
The founding fathers also wrote the Bill of Rights.
These solutions and compromises formed the basis of the new American government written in a document called the Constitution of the United States.

How does the Constitution give us a voice in Government?
As of 2015, there are 318.9 million Americans, so with 435 members of the House of Representatives, that gets you to 733,103 Americans/district.
We in NJ have 12 Representatives in the House (see below).
LODI is in the 5th NJ District and our Representative is  Scott Garrett, Republican. He serves on the Budget and Financial Services Committees. But Mr. Garrett just lost an election this November, so after January, our Representative will be JOSH Gottheimer.

Besides the House of Representatives ,each State gets 2 Senators. Since there are 50 States, there are 100 Senators.
The two NJ Senators are Cory Booker and Robert Menendez, both Democrats.


As of the 2010 Census, New Jersey has 14 electoral votes in a Presidential Election, representing 8.8 million people. 
That number comes from the amount of Representatives (12)  and Senators (2, like every other state) from NJ.

Notes for your notebook!
The conclusion of the War of 1812 brought about a feeling altogether different than what had previously existed in America. For the first time America had fought a war as a nation, united. The feeling that resulted from this unification of spirit marked a rise of nationalism and a shift in both foreign and domestic policy.
I. The Presidency of James Monroe
           A. How did America respond to the end of the War of 1812?
                        1. A strong sense of nationalism swept the country in the years following the War of 1812.
                        2. This period of increased nationalism and prosperity was called the  Era of Good Feelings.
           B. What measures did the nation take to further our prosperity?
                        1. Monroe developed the idea of the American System
  •                     This divided the United States into 3 sections.
  •                      a) An industrial North would turn out manufactured goods
                         b) Farmers in the South would provided agricultural products.
                         c) Farmers in the West would provided agricultural products.
  •                      The purpose of this was to develop self sufficiency. Factory workers in the North would form a                market for agricultural products. Farmers in the South and West would buy manufacture goods.
                            2. Congress passed protective tariffs. (A tax on imports designed to protect domestic manufacturers.)
  •                     Tariff Act of 1816-Congress adopted a mild protective tariff. Then in 1828, it significantly raised the   tariffs.
                            3. Transportation Improvements were made.
  •                        National Road-Federal government authorized construction of a road from Maryland to Illinois, and also of canals so goods could move to market more easily.
                            4. Congress chartered the Second Bank of the United States to replace the first whose charter had expired.
  •                       To help the two sections of the country do business with each other; the federal government set up a new national bank.
  •                       Paper money quickly lost value because when the banks started to be regulated by the state banks, the banks issued a great deal of more paper money. This made it difficult to conduct business.
  •                        Second Bank of the United States-1816 Congress chartered this bank with 25 branches throughout the country.
  •                        The national bank issued its own paper money. These notes could be used anywhere, and by increasing the money supple they fueled a 2-year national business boom.
                C. What actions did the Supreme Court take at this time?
The Supreme Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice John Marshall, supported the trend toward national power. This should come as no surprise considering he was one of the Federalist judges appointed by Adams. During his term, he dominated the court, writing more than half the opinions. Marshall's decisions enlarged the power of the Supreme Court.
Week seven
The Land Of Cotton

1)The Cotton Economy
                   a)The Rise of King Cotton
                                      i)19th century upper South (VA, MD, NC) cultivated tobacco, but unstable prices and exhaustive of soil. By 1830s upper South began to grow wheat, tobacco growing shifted westward. Southern regions of South (SC, GA, FL) continued growing rice, Gulf some sugar—crops limited b/c hard to cultivate

                                       ii)Decline of tobacco in upper South led not to industrialization but growing of short-staple cotton- could grow in difft env’ts, w/ cotton gin now profitable. Demand for cotton growing b/c of rise of textile industry in GB 1820s/30s and New England 1840s/50s—new lands and expansion to meet new demand
                                                        iii)Beginning 1820s production of cotton moved westward into Alabama, Mississippi, LA, TX, AK. By 1850s dominated economy
                                                        iv)“Lower South”/ “Cotton Kingdom” attracted many seeking profits, also slaves
                                        b)Southern Trade and Industry
                                                        i)Business classes and manufacturers unimportant, slow growth + mainly in upper South. Non-farm commercial sectors mainly served needs of plantation economy- brokers who marketed crops, acted as merchants and lenders
                                                       ii)Primitive banking system did not allow for structures necessary for industrial development. Inadequate transport system: few roads, canals, nat’l railroads
                                                      iii)Some southerners recognized economic subordination to north and advocated for economic independence- New Orlean James De Bow- De Bow’s Review
                                       c)Sources of Southern Difference
                                                      i)Despite “colonial dependency” South did little to industrialize b/c agricultural system + cotton so profitable, little incentive to look beyond. Wealthy had already invested much of their capital into land + slaves

                                                     ii)Lack of commercial growth also b/c traditional values distinctive to South discouraged cities + industry- elegance, more refined life than rapid growth                                                               2)White Society in The South
                                         a)The Planter Class
                                                        i)Majority of ppl didn’t own slaves (only ¼ did), of those small % owned many
                                                        ii)Planter aristocracy (those earning 40+ slaves and 800+ acres of land) exercised power and influence greater than their number. Political economic, social control. Saw themselves as aristocracy, though most wealth was recent
                                                       iii)Growing crops profitable but as competitive and risky as industry in North
                                                        iv)After struggling to reach their position in society they were determined to defend it—perhaps why defense of slavery and South’s “rights” stronger in booming lower South and weaker in more established areas
                                           b)“Honor”
                                                       i)White males adopted code of chivalry that obligated them to defend their “honor”.         Ethical ideal and bravery but also public appearance of dignity & authority- anything to challenge dignity or social station a challenge
                                           c)The “Southern Lady”
                                                        i)Lives of affluent centered in home, little role in public activities or as wage earners. White men more dominant + women subordinate than in North- solitary farm life w/ no access to “public world” led to main role wife, mother
                                                        ii)Less educational opportunities, higher birth rate and infant mortality rate
                                               d)The Plain Folk (Yeomen)
                                                          i)Typical person not planter + slaveholder but modest yeoman farmer. Mainly subsistence farming- lacked resources for cotton or to expand operations
                                                          ii)Little prospect of bettering position b/c southern educational system provided poor whites with little opportunity to learn and therefore advance
                                                          iii)Majority excluded from planter society, but opposition to elite limited mainly to “hill” and “backcountry” ppl who were secluded, unconnected to commercial economy, and loyal to whole nation and above sectional fighting
                                                          iv)Most nonslave-owning whites lived in middle of plantation system and were tied to it, relied on planters for markets, credit, and linked thru kinship. Also large sense of democracy + political participation gave sense of cnxn to societal order. Cotton boom of 1850s gave them hope of economic betterment
                                                          v)Belief that assault on one hierarchical system (slavery) would threaten another hierarchical system (patriarchy)
                                                         vi)Even the south’s poorest members (“clay eaters”) who owned no profitable land did not offer great opposition to society—greatest factor binding all classes together was perception of race and members of ruling race
 3)Slavery: The “Peculiar Institution”
                  a)Varieties of Slavery
                                  i)Called “peculiar” by Southerners b/c was distinctive from N., Western world
                                  ii)Slavery regulated by law, slave codes forbade property, congregation, teaching a slave. Anyone suspected w/ trace of African blood defined as black
                                 iii)Despite provisions of law variety within slave system b/c white owners handled most transgressions, conditions. Size of farm, # of slaves varied
                                 iv)Majority of slave-owners small farmers, but majority of slaves lived on medium + large plantations-less intimate owner/slave relationship
                      b)Life Under Slavery
                                 i)Generally received enough necessities to enable them to live and work; lived in slave quarters. Slaves worked hard, women labored in fields w/ men and had other chores, often single b/c husbands sold away (single parents)
                                  ii)High death rate and less children survived to adulthood than whites
                                 iii)Some say material condition of slavery may have been better than some northern factory workers, less sever than slaves in Caribbean + South Amer. Law preventing slave import incentive to Southern elite to provide some care
                                iv)Other cheap laborer (such as Irish) used to perform most dangerous and least healthy tasks to protect investment. Still overseers hired by owners often treated slave badly, and household servants often sexually abused by master
                     c)Slavery in the Cities
                                  i)On isolated plantations masters maintained direct control. Slaves in cities were often hired out to do labor and unskilled jobs in cities + towns
                                 ii)In cities line btwn slavery + freedom less clear, white southerners viewed slavery incompatible w/ city life- sold slaves to countryside, used segregation
                   d)Free African Americans
