Explanation:
1. The Articles of Confederation prevented large amounts of trade between the United States and European nations because Congress could not pass laws about trade.
2.The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 divided a large amount of land into small territories (which would later become thirteen states).
3. Shays' Rebellion and other protests caused a push for a new type of government instead of the Articles of Confederation. Specifically, people wanted a stronger national government, which was formed when the Constitution was ratified.
4. There was fear among the delegates that the revised government would still be too weak. The Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plans were proposed to address weak points in the Articles of Confederation.
5. The delegates had to compromise because it was their job to create a plan for a new government that would be good for the United States.
6. The Federalist essays were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. They wanted to show the weaknesses in the arguments of the Antifederalists so that people would vote to ratify the Constitution.
7. The Bill of Rights places limits on the government. This helped soothe the worries of the people who were concerned that the new government would be too powerful.
8. The Constitution provides an outline for government, but it is not extremely specific for everything. This was done so that amendments could be made as time progressed to keep the Constitution up to date.
