~U.S Constitution Preamble
~U.S Constitution Preamble
The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. Orginally, it was where The Articles of Confederation were to be revised, but it was decided to create an entirely new constitution. It is the place where the modern day Constitution was discussed, argued over, and created.
Thesis: The ratification of the Constitution was a revolutionary event that led to the formation of the new nation. It eventually set up a strong, functioning government for America, but the journey was a challenge. In reaction to the proposed constitution, the American people split into two opposing groups called the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. To settle the conflicting reactions between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, they compromised by creating The Bill of Rights, which ultimately reformed the Constitution.
By Jimmy K. and Jacob S.
