Simulation Report 1 Introduction I knew that I would enjoy the simulations because I have always enjoyed hands-on projects in my classes. Before I did any of the simulations I started the three simulations I looked at their titles. The first simulation, “You Are A Founder” really caught my attention because The Founders had many issues that they had to compromise on while making our Constitution. Since I knew some of The Founders issues they dealt with I figured I would not learn as much from it and thought I knew a lot about a police officers duties. Therefore, I thought I would learn the most from You Are A Federal Judge. All three simulations were very informational and eye-opening, but the simulation I enjoyed and learned the most from was You Are A Police Officer. I had never really considered how quickly they have to survey a certain situation and know exactly what to do. Since I found out so much from the You Are A Police Officer simulation I believe it was my favorite. All three were very cool and fun to participate in though. Title You Are A Founder Results The Founders had many obstacles that they had to overcome to write and ratify our Constitution. If James Madison had not made the correct decision on how to handle certain situations our country would not be where it is today. I made correct decisions on all of the challenges as James Madison in the simulation. All of the questions If I did not have any knowledge of the compromises that The Founders made when writing and ratifying our Constitution I do not think I would have been as successful. Chapter 2 in our textbook really helped me figure out the best solution for each challenge. For instance, one of the challenges was deciding if slaves should be counted in the census. If I had no prior knowledge of the Three-Fifths Compromise I would have had a much harder time figuring out the best solution.

    The responsibilities would include managing debt, creating national monetary and fiscal policies, as well as managing the national tensions that lead to crisis. Men like Alexander Hamilton, George Washington and John Adams, were in favor of the Constitution, supported the Bill of Rights and subsequently, a larger more powerful federal government. In their views for support of a federal government they proposed the Constitution and later added the first ten amendments that make up the Bill of Rights (Lecture). While framing the Constitution issues taken into consideration were states boundaries, representation quotas and veto rights (Countryman 172). Two main plans were proposed to solve the plethora of issues facing the country – one by James Madison and one by Patterson. The fundamental differences was where the federal government derived their power. Patterson advocated for the federal to obtain their power from the states rather than the people, whereas Madison advocated for the power of the centralized government owing its power directly to the people (Countryman 178). After years back and forth conversations, a three tiered system was created that would ensure the integrity of the system by separation and complete independence from each other, thus listing specified duties and power allotted to the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary powers of the United States

    When the Founding Fathers got together at Philadelphia to draft the Constitution, they had many different views and opinions as to how to govern our country. At the convention, the founders fought over the issues of slavery, representation and the Congress’s powers. Their personal lives had influenced their ideas and some of the compromises made at the Constitutional Convention. The founders’ different personal experiences, economic backgrounds, and coming from states of different sizes, economy and needs, led to the creation of the Three-Fifths Compromise, The Great Compromise, and the Slave Trade Compromise.

    During his entire life, James Madison, who is one of the founding fathers, contributed many dedications to the States, especially when creating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As the fourth president of the U.S, he consciously chose to create a new model of presidential power that he thought would fit better with the system of the separation of powers after seeing “the danger overwrought executive power poses to republican constitutionalism” (Kleinerman). Despite of having such good intention, some of his actions led the country through some significant suffers.

    ...ared that the ratification was not going to be achieved. For instance, John Jay wrote a letter to George Washington in 1786 explaining how at least during the American Revolution all people were united for the same goal, but now their objective is unclear and chaotic, (Document D). All together majority of the people demanded a full presentation within the government, “yet if it is deficient in this essential principle of a full and just representation of the people, it will only be a painted sepulcher,” meaning that without a solid list of rights protecting people and balance within the branches of government everything will collapse, (Document F). The main doubts created by the writing and ratification of the United States Constitution evolved from the between the federalists and the antifederalists, who had different visions of how the government should be run.

They needed to keep the people’s interest in concern at all times. Roche said that the “Founding Father’s'; relied on experience not reason.

    James Madison was a very intelligent man and was one of the forefathers for our country. In Madison’s Federalist Paper Number 10 he describes the need to control factions in the United States and how the government is to do so. The Federalist papers are a key point in describing how to control “factions” that are so dangerous to the young government, or so Madison feels. In Madison’s paper he clearly lays out his idea on the sources of factions, his feelings on democracy versus a republic, and how to control factions.

  • Democracy In The 19th Century

    1358 Words  | 3 Pages

    During the construction of the new Constitution, many of the most prominent and experienced political members of America’s society provided a framework on the future of the new country; they had in mind, because of the failures of the Articles of Confederation, a new kind of government where the national or Federal government would be the sovereign power, not the states. Because of the increased power of the national government over the individual states, many Americans feared it would hinder their ability to exercise their individual freedoms. Assuring the people, both Alexander Hamilton and James Madison insisted the new government under the constitution was “an expression of freedom, not its enemy,” declaring “the Constitution made political tyranny almost impossible.” (Foner, pg. 227) The checks and balances introduced under the new and more powerful national government would not allow the tyranny caused by a king under the Parliament system in Britain. They insisted that in order achieve a greater amount of freedom, a national government was needed to avoid the civil unrest during the system under the Articles of Confederation. Claiming that the new national government would be a “perfect balance between liberty and power,” it would avoid the disruption that liberty [civil unrest] and power [king’s abuse of power in England] caused. The “lackluster leadership” of the critics of the new constitution claimed that a large land area such as America could not work for such a diverse nation.

  • Summary Of The Quartet Orchestrating The Second American Revolution Harvard

    He did not perceive the founding fathers to be experimental in nature. Ellis introduces each member of “The Quartet” with high praises, calling attention upon Washington’s organizational abilities, Hamilton’s financial skills, Madison’s drafting abilities, and Jay’s diplomacy tactics. Ellis advocated that through the superior leadership of each member, the creation of the American republic was inevitable. He argues, “To say, then, that ratification represented a clear statement about the will of the American people in 1787-1788 would be grossly misleading. What ratification really represented was triumph of superior organization, more talented leadership, and a political process that had been designed from the start to define the options narrowly” (Ellis 174). Each member excelled in his own field and persuaded fellow colleagues and the American people for the need for a document to replace the Articles of Confederation. Ellis additionally expounded on the built-in advantages these founding fathers had. He stressed upon their strengths, such as their ability to convene with similar ideas, versatility in many fields, persuading members of the opposition, and developing tactical propositions. After the founding fathers defeated Patrick Henry, a strong adversary and a harsh critic to the Constitution, Ellis wrote, “For better and for worse, the Constitution was destined to become the law of the land” (Ellis 187). These innate built-in advantages of the founding fathers were what helped them to achieve their goals. After analyzing these traits, Ellis concluded that the creation of the republic and the success of the founding fathers was indeed a special destiny, which was bound to

In the case of preventing corrupt or mischief by factions, he believes majority and pure democracy is not a solution. The method he advocated is a large republic with checking system. He converts human ambition to provide internal checks and balances in government. His point of view stimulated the approval of the proposal of the United States Constitution.
