Launching a New Nation

Launching a New Nation
10/30/07

In 1815 the new nation was just getting started, and they were struggling to create the new government. The new government was formed as a democracy by our founding fathers. Through out this new government they did not want any part of the government to have too much power. They created the Federal system, which was made up of the federal, state, and local. They made George Washington our first president. There were people who supported the new Constitution, who were called the Federalist. Then there were people who were Anti-Federalist, who thought that it gave too much power to the government. In September 1789, Congress submitted the Bill of Rights.


Even though there are so many different issues and ideas when we were developing our new nation, I think they made it fair for everyone. Every time they had a conflict they would try to solve it as fair as possible. Everyone got a chance to vote, and got to put in their opinion. They could have just taken all the power in the government, just like the king. They didn't though, they stayed equal with the whole nation. They created the Bill of Rights, which showed us our rights we had as citizens. Even though we don't have all the problems solved in the nation, we do have most of the issues solved, and they are solved equally and fairly.
