the making of the us constitution 美国宪法制定.ppt

The making of the US Constitution 151110402 冯慧 ? When the war of dependence was over , the United States was not a unified nations as it is today. Each new state had its own government and was organized very much like an independent nation.Each made its own laws and handled all of its internal affairs. During the war ,the states had agreed to work together by sending representatives to a national congress patterned after the “Congress of Delegates. After the war was won , the states agreed to this agreement that set a plan of cooperation ,which was called the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation failed because the states did not cooperate with the Congress or with each other. The failure made many Americans believe that the Congress needed more power. In order to strengthen its power, the Congress asked each state to send delegates to a convention in Philadelphia to discuss the changes which would be necessary to strengthen the Articles of Confederation. The meeting was later known as the Constitutional Convention, began in May of 1787. The plan for the government was written in a document called the Constitution of the United States. Thank you !
