Birth+of+the+Constitution

= Birth of the the Constitution = ==

Here is what we learned!


Some people wanted only the rich men to vote, while others wanted equality in the voting system. Some people believed in equality while others did not, it was a hard time getting along. People were worried that if the 55 delegates didn't get along there might be a Civil War among the 13 colonies.

The Constitution was written in 1787, this meeting was held in Philadelphia. General George Washington was asked by the delegates to preside over the convention. At the time the colonies were ruled by the Articles of Confederations. When the meeting was over, the delegates all agreed on the new Constitution.

Some people thought that a new king and queen should be the leaders of the colonies, just like they had in Britian. Other people thought 1 to 3 men should be chosen to be the National Executive.

If we didn't write the Constitution in 1787 we would probably not have the United States we have today. 55 men attended the convention, these men were called delegates. This was done in July of 1787.

When we watch this movie we learned about the Constitution and how it was written. We also learned that they made the Constitution in the summer of 1787 it took months to get it done.

The delegates were all arguing about who should be in charge of the colonies. In the beginning they could not agree on who should be in charge. Some thought a queen, some thought a king, others said a National Executive should be in charge. A couple of months later the delegates decided one man should be in charge. They called him the National Executive.
