The American Republic of the United States and its Constitution
1787
Representatives of the 13 independent British colonies assembled again
in the Pennsylvania Colonial Legislative Building (called
Independence Hall today) to draft a constitution
Constitutional Convention, Philadelphia, 1787
George
Washington presided over the Philadelphia Convention Scene at the Signing of the Constitution
of the United States painted in 1940 by Howard Chandler Christy (1872 – 1952)
First page of the Constitution of the United States of America, supreme law of the land
The Constitution consisted originally of seven Articles. Diagram of banches of federal government and separatiion of powers with checks
and balances Articles 1, 2, and 3 describe the separation of powers, dividing the federal government into three separatel and equal
branches, with checks and balances: the Congress - a bicameral legislature: the senate, with an equal number of representatives from each state, and the house of representatives, with the number of representatives from each state in proportion to its population.
The executive - the President; The judiciary - the Supreme Court and lower federal courts Diagram: Federalism, States' Rights goes here Articles 4 and 6 - describes the federalist system: the relationship of the states among themselves and the relationship
between the states and the federal government Article 5 - describes the procedure for amending the Constitution Article 7 - describes the procedure for ratifying the Constitution The Constitution was adopted by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787 and ratified by conventions of
11 of 13 states. Effective 1789 Bill of Rights (1791) (The 10 Amendments) The Bill of Rights - the first ten amendments - proposed by Congress in 1789 and ratified by the required three-fourths
of states in 1791 The Electoral College In the U. S., voters do not elect the country's president directly. In a concession to states' demands for states' rights, the electoral college was created. Each state has a certain number of electors, determined by the state's population. The more populous
a state is the more electors it has. The presidential candidate getting the most votes in a state gets all of that state's electoral votes
and the state's electors must cast their votes for that candidate. The winner in the national presidential contest is the candidate who receives a majority of all the
electoral votes. Note that the winner of the country's total electoral vote is
not necessarily the winner of the country's total nation-wide popular vote. The First American President George Wasington, first president of the United States, served two four-year terms (1789 - 1797)
Painting (ca. 1899) by Ramon de Elorriaga of the inauguration of George Washington
as the first President of the United States in Federal Hall of New York City on April 30, 1789. The Vice-President was John Adams, who was later elected the second president. The Oddities of the First American Election
