This week we will begin our investigation of the U.S. Constitution & why it replaced the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution is the foundation on which American government & society are based, and it effects our lives everyday. We will investigate the many debates between the men that were part of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. We will discuss the leadership of George Washington, the different compromises that were made, as well as the different camps of people with differing opinions on what the new government should look like. As the week progresses, we will break down each part of the document & examine the structure of our government within the three branches.
