Early U.S. Government Foundations

The document summarizes key events and ideas surrounding the adoption and implementation of the U.S. Constitution between 1779-1800. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, including the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and Land Ordinance of 1785. It also discusses how weaknesses like Shays' Rebellion led to a call for a stronger central government and the ratification of the Constitution, which included compromises such as the Great Compromise and Three-Fifths Compromise. Additionally, it analyzes the challenges faced by the first five presidents, including Washington establishing precedents, Hamilton's financial system, and Adams passing the Sedition Acts.
