  2. Unit 2: Creating a Nation • I can. . . • Evaluate the influence of Enlightenment ideas on the development of American government as embedded in the Declaration of Independence • Identify and evaluate the ideas and events that contributed to the outbreak of the American Revolution, and determine the key turning points of the war • Identify the impetus for the Constitutional Convention (limitations of government under the Articles of Confederation), and analyze the events and outcomes of the Convention (i.e. the “bundle of compromises”) • Interpret the ideas and principles expressed in the U.S. Constitution • Explain the development of the Bill of Rights, and assess various debates of the day • Evaluate, take, and defend positions on the development of U.S. foreign policy during the early nineteenth century (e.g. Embargo Act, Monroe Doctrine)

  3. Colonists Move West in the early-to-mid 1700s • Causes • Population of colonies increases quickly due to high birth rate and immigration • Colonists begin to feel crowded • Many colonists lack enough fertile land for growing population • Effects • Settlers take over Native American lands • Native Americans forced onto land already occupied by other tribes • British build trading posts in areas claimed by France • France responds by preparing for conflict

  9. The Tea Act, 1773 • To save the East India Company from financial ruin • This act eliminated all remaining import duties on tea entering England and thus lowering the selling price to consumers • The company could also sell its tea directly to the people • Both of these actions lowered tea below the cost of smuggled tea • The colonists didn’t care about the price; it was the principle of taxation without representation

  10. This law would corrupt Americans into accepting the principle of parliamentary taxation by taking advantage of their weakness for a frivolous luxury • Dec. 1773, the Boston Tea Party • 50 disguised men (plus others) dump forty-five tons of tea overboard

  13. First Continental Congress • Because of the Intolerable Acts • Suffolk Resolves was the first action: colonies owed no obedience to any of the Coercive Acts; provisional govt. should collect all taxes until the former Mass. Charter was restored; defensive measures should be taken • Voted to boycott all British goods and cease exporting almost all goods to Britain

  14. Not all delegates supported this plan • They settled on a Petition that stated the following: • Affirmed Parliament’s power to regulate trade – thus indicating they respect elected assemblies, but only if they have a voice • Also stated that all previous paramilitary efforts to impose taxes, enforce laws through admiralty courts, suspend assemblies, and unilaterally revoke charters were unconstitutional • Bad Britain!
