    Appeal To The Patriots Of Quebec Summary

    The era of late 1700’s was a period of great change in North America. After the French and Indian war ended in 1963, Great Britain’s control of North America’s east coast caused more interaction between the American colonies and Canada, which was a French colony prior to the war. In 1774, the Continental Congress wrote to the inhabitants of Quebec in an appeal which was entitled, “Appeal to the Inhabitants of Quebec.” In this appeal, the American colonists expressed their great joy that Quebec was now a part of the English colonies, and the main thesis of this appeal was that the inhabitants of Quebec had earned the right to have the same rights as the colonies under a just form of government, and that the best way for them to achieve that was by joining the American colonies. These ideas that the colonists had were very persuasive, and they provided a…

    The Revolution brought along much change in the now United States. Post war changes occurred in the republic, this included politics. One important event was that of the Constitutional Convention in which men formulated and revised state constitutions and also developed the method by which frames of government were written and approved. The status of women was being defined and the idea of abolition rose in the North. The central government’s power of the nation was too low. Unity and power lacked in the Confederation. National debt, trade, and protection against the Spanish and Brits were several of the problems facing the Confederation. Economic troubles also gloomed over the new developing country. A major issue dealt with paper currency and how quickly inflation had occurred. Shays Rebellion was an issues in which state governments would not come to the aid of debtors in New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina. During the reformation of the constitution, the question was whether to amend the Articles of Confederation or to write a completely new one. The Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan were two that were proposed. Conflict ensued between the states until the Great Compromise came to and established a bicameral congress which included the House of Representatives and the Senate. Men who fought against this new constitution were known as anti-federalists. But in the end the Federalists prevailed and the ratification of the Constitution…

    Pros And Cons Of A More Perfect Union

    As inevitable as the U.S. Constitution feels today as the foundation on which the United States of America and its political system are built, it was not the first document ratified by the former British colonies to establish a union. During the years of the American Revolutionary War and the years directly following it, the newly formed United States of America were essentially a collection of thirteen more or less sovereign states loosely held together in an alliance by the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union (Articles of Confederation). However, as a foundation for a functioning government, the Articles of Confederation were lacking, leaving the federal government essential powerless and unable to effectively execute the few powers explicitly bestowed upon it by the Articles. Fiscal issues and rebellion threaten to tear the young nation…

As the Politician of Canada East said: “ We have five colonies and in order to become a great nation they need only to be brought together under one central Government. The matter comes down to this, either we form a British American Confederation or we will be absorbed into the United States of America.” (Doc…

Nevertheless, by New Brunswick joining the…
