The PENGUIN GUIDE to the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION

by Richard Beeman

DeB 87 thisIDXX2Search=1071010000000-

Having exceeded their instructions from the Continental Congress by scrapping the Articles of Confederation and drafting a wholly new frame of government, the framers of the Constitution also ignored the provision in the Articles of Confederation requiring unanimous approval of the state legislatures in order to amend that frame of government. The decision to allow the Constitution to go into operation after the approval of only nine of the thirteen states made it much easier to secure ratification of the document. Moreover, the device of submitting the document for consideration by specifically called state conventions rather than by state legislatures avoided some of the natural tendencies of state legislators to protect their powers and interests. Most important though, the use of conventions, elected directly by the people of the states and called together solely for the purpose of considering the new plan of union, signified thst the proposed new government was intended to be a government founded on ''WE THE people of the United States,' rather than merely on ''we the states'.
