This chapter delves into the transformative period of American governance, exploring the Continental Congress, the Articles of Confederation, and the establishment of the Constitution. It highlights the governance structure, including the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance, and addresses key weaknesses that called for reform. The social climate, featuring figures like Benjamin Banneker and Abigail Adams, and foreign challenges from Britain and Spain are examined. The 1787 Constitutional Convention, marked by debates between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey Plan, culminates in the Great Compromise and the ratification of the Bill of Rights.
