Reforming the National Government and The 1787 Constitutional Convention
Reforming the National Government
by mid-1780s, elite leaders agree change is needed
political divisions echoed those of the revolution:
most former moderates:
nationalist, wanted strong central government
most former radicals:
localist/regionalist, suspicious of central government
1786 Annapolis Convention
failure, only 5 states attend
plan to meet in philadelphia, summer 1787
meanwhile, shays’ rebellion and economic crisis and congressional stalemate
The 1787 Constitutional Convention
philadelphia, summer 1787
55 delegates (all states but Rhode Island)
tight secrecy
dubious legality/legitimacy
mostly moderate nationalists
young (30-40s), elite, aristocratic
about 25 owned slaves
agreed on basics:
government needed to be more powerful
should be a republic
two key sets of disagreements:
how to determine each state’s representation in new government
big vs small states
free vs slave states
the future of slavery
should it end/continue and how?
who should decide, states or federal government?
