First in the Heart of His Countrymen
A look back at George Washington and why he deserved devotion and praise.
The Gap in Ideology Widens
While Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both served as advisors to President George Washington, their advice differed.
The Father of Our Country
Our first president had not lobbied for the job. In fact, he did not want the position.
Political Parties — Oh, My!
The strongest factions morphed into our first political parties and are now an accepted part of our republic.
A New Government for the People
We have a Constitution and, thanks to George Mason, a Bill of Rights will be a reality! The hard work has been done — or has it?
Talking Individual Rights
The Anti-Federalists argued that English common law would only be valid if they were a part of the United States Constitution.
Let the Voting Begin
Imagine if all the work had been done by the Founders but then the states had chosen to negate the compromises reached.
The Federalist Papers
Those urging the ratification of the U.S. Constitution were not sitting idle. Three prominent political theorists decided to take their position to the people.
Now It’s a National Debate
The Anti-Federalists were hesitant to trust a centralized government designed to represent all the people from across the new nation.
Almost Finished!
After all the diligent work by the Constitutional Convention delegates, state approval should be relatively easy, right? Maybe not.
May It Please the Court
Since many of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention were lawyers, they were able to debate and then compromise on the best design for a judicial system.
Oh, Wait — We’re Not Finished!
Creating a trustworthy executive branch after having just won independence from a tone-deaf English king was a daunting task.
One More Step Toward Unity
What powers were specifically enumerated to the Congress?
The Raging Debates
The question was who holds the power — small states, big states, or a balance of power between the states?
Returning to Philadelphia
Most historians agree it was George Washington’s support of the new constitution that ultimately assured its ratification.
