JA 8 B Civics: Feb. 14-18


This week we will continue looking at the events of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787. We will discuss the Virginia & New Jersey plans, along with the many compromises made during the convention. We will investigate the two groups that formed, the Federalists & the Anti-Federalists. These groups had very different visions for what the new government would look like, & both had good reasons for their opinions. We will discuss these in detail, as they are important philosphical viewpoints about the role of government in a society. We will also discuss the importance of the roles of George Washington & James Madison at the convention as well.
