1.) The right to vote was originally denied to all but the children of rich parents. To determine this, you can look at the history of voting rights in most states. It was common for early voting laws to restrict voting to property-owning white men. Women and those without property were typically excluded from the voting process.
2.) The Framers of the Constitution would have disagreed with the statement, "As long as a government is founded with good ideals, it will always govern its people well." The Framers believed that a government with well-constructed institutions, a balance of power, and checks and balances was essential to ensure that it would uphold its ideals and govern effectively. They recognized that good ideals alone were not sufficient without the proper institutional framework.
3.) The statesmen who was the strongest supporter of liberty as a political value was Thomas Jefferson. To determine this, you can study the beliefs and writings of these statesmen. Thomas Jefferson, one of the Founding Fathers and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, placed a strong emphasis on the preservation of individual liberties and the idea of limited government.
4.) The former colonies retained most of their power under the Articles of Confederation. To determine this, you can look at the powers and structure of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government that granted significant power to the individual states. The central government had limited authority, and most of the powers were retained by the states.
5.) The Northern states supported the Connecticut Plan, which called for a bicameral legislature in which states would be represented according to their population. To determine this, you can examine the debates and discussions during the Constitutional Convention. The Connecticut Plan, also known as the Great Compromise, proposed a compromise between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan. It suggested a bicameral legislature, with one house based on population (favoring larger states) and the other with equal representation for each state (favoring smaller states).
6.) General George Washington was a leader of the movement to create a stronger central government. To determine this, you can study the role of George Washington in the formation of the United States government. As the first president of the United States and a key figure in the Constitutional Convention, George Washington advocated for a stronger central government to address the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and ensure a more stable and effective government.
