Term
| republican ideology that had grown out of the revolutionary republicanism that had fueled the war. |
|
Definition
| This ideology called for the expansion of control of the government to the people, though many limitations restricted who was included in that control. Slaves, women, and men without property remained largely outside of the new government. Within the group of individuals who could participate in the new republic, many different ideas on how to run the republic emerged. These differences, in combination with economic difficulties that emerged from the war, produced a number of struggles and tensions among Americans. In response, legislators called together a Grand Convention to address the inadequacies of the Articles of Confederation and draft a more effective document as the basis for the new government. Two main groups-the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists-emerged out of the debates about how to construct the politics of the new nation. |
