As some of you may know, and all of you will learn, our first constitution was the Articles of Confederation. As your text and readings point out, the Federalists (pro new constitution) and Antifederalists (pro keeping the Articles of Confederation) debated whether to replace the Articles with the new Constitution. In fact, the Federalist won. But what if the Antifederalists prevailed in 1788 and the people voted not to adopt the new constitution. What would be the characteristics of our country today if the Articles of Confederation had remained our constitution? Give details and examples. Be specific. Be sure to use citations and documentation. Although you are REQUIRED to use the assigned readings, you may, but are not required, to do outside research. Regardless of whether you use the required (or outside sources), be sure to properly use MLA citation to acknowledge all the sources you use. Be careful not to plagiarize. This means that you use parenthetical documentation in the narrative of your essay and a list of works consulted at the end. If you only use and properly document the text book, a list of works must be included and contain a proper citation for the text book.
