Brief Explanations

This is a fill - in - the - blank exercise related to the history of the United States during the period of building a new nation. The subfield of Social Science that best applies here is History, as it deals with the historical events, political developments, and the formation of the United States during this time.

Question 1

Under the Articles of Confederation, the government was weak (because it had limited power, especially in terms of taxation, regulation of trade, and enforcement of laws) and unable to effectively govern (it couldn't raise an army easily, resolve interstate disputes, or manage the economy well).

Question 2

The Land Ordinance of 1785 (1785) and Northwest Ordinance of 1787 (1787) organized western lands; the failed attempt to form the American System (this was a later economic plan, but the failed attempt here might refer to something like the effort to have a stronger economic or political system, or more accurately, the failed attempt to form a more unified economic structure, but the more accurate historical event is the failed attempt at the Annapolis Convention? Wait, no, the Shays' Rebellion highlighted weaknesses, and the Shays' Rebellion exposed unrest (1786 - 1787, it was an armed uprising in Massachusetts by farmers who were upset about debt and taxes, showing the weakness of the national government under the Articles). So correcting: The Land Ordinance of 1785 (1785) and Northwest Ordinance of 1787 (1787) organized western lands; the failed attempt to form the (maybe the Annapolis Convention was a failed attempt to address trade issues, but the Shays' Rebellion highlighted weaknesses, and the Shays' Rebellion exposed unrest (B.21).

Question 3

At the Constitutional Convention, George Washington presided (he was the respected leader who led the convention), and James Madison played a key role (he is known as the "Father of the Constitution" for his extensive contributions to the drafting of the Constitution).

Question 4

The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature (a legislature with two houses: the Senate with equal representation for each state and the House of Representatives with representation based on population), and the Three - Fifths Compromise addressed representation of enslaved persons (it determined that three - fifths of the slave population would be counted for the purposes of representation and taxation).

Question 5

The Constitution included separation of powers (dividing government into legislative, executive, and judicial branches), federalism (sharing of power between the national and state governments), and popular sovereignty (power of the government comes from the people) as key principles (B.23).

Question 6

Federalists supported ratification, while Anti - Federalists feared a strong central government (they were worried that the national government would become too powerful and trample on the rights of the states and individuals) and demanded the Bill of Rights (a list of individual rights to protect people from the government, which was later added to the Constitution).

Question 7

George Washington's presidency set precedents (like the two - term limit, the creation of a cabinet, etc.), responded to the Whiskey Rebellion (an uprising by farmers in Pennsylvania against the whiskey tax, which Washington responded to by leading a militia to show the government's ability to enforce laws), and warned against political parties and foreign entanglements (in his farewell…
