Founding a Nation

Today we'll begin to explore the creation of the Constitution of the United States. We'll supplement our homework for today with a look at the film, Liberty that will help us to answer the following key questions:
1) What were the primary weaknesses and strengths of the Articles of Confederation?
2) How would the new Constitution balance competing claims of local self-government, sectional interests, and national authority?
3) Who would be considered full fledged members of the American people, entitled to the blessings of liberty?
4) What were the arguments for and ratification put forth by the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?
As you watch the film today, please use this GUIDE to take notes as you watch.  If you need to review the film, you can see it below.
