Introduction: The Declaration of Independence kicked off the American Revolution. The war lasted until 1783, but as early as 1781 the colonies adopted the Articles of Confederation as their first constitution.
Task 1 - View the PowerPoint to Review the Articles of Confederation - AOC.ppt
Task 2 - Read the textbook excerpt about Shays’ Rebellion - Shays' Rebellion Textbook Exerpt.docx
--- Things to think about as you read (No need to write out)
- What happened in Shay’s rebellion?
- How is it connected to the Articles of Confederation?
- According to the textbook, how did Americans respond?
Transition: The common story about Shays’ rebellion is that the Founding Fathers realized that the Articles of Confederation were too weak and thought that the central government needed more power to control popular uprisings.
Task 3 - Read the Thomas Jefferson Letter on Shays’ Rebellion - Jefferson Letter.docx
--- Things to think about as you read (No need to write out)
- What are the pros and cons of a strong central government?
- Why might Jefferson oppose having a strong central government?
- Why would the idea of poor farmers rebelling be scary to many of the people at the Constitutional Convention?
- Do you agree with Jefferson’s assertion about the “tree of liberty?”
- How does this letter challenge or expand the textbook’s account?
- Why might many textbooks make it seem like everyone wanted a strong central government after Shays’ Rebellion?
