+The compromises made between Federalists and Anti-Federalists to form a
+Constitution
+
+Both sides needed to work together to form this Constitution, and the
+Federalist papers were meant to build a framework amicable to
+Republicans.
+
+Commonalities between the two sides
+- Republicanism
+- All founders wanted to protect personal liberty from gov
+- "Science of politics": a more perfect union
+- The role of interests and factions
+- Public opinion and consent of the governed
+- The desire for happiness: meant "property"
+    - The founders were landowners
+    - Personal property to the general public
+
+Constitution ratified by 9 states in 1788
+- Bill of rights is a compromise
+    - Federalists didn't want Bill of Rights
+        - Wanted constitution to be about structure of institutions,
+          which were supposed to make laws corresponding to rights
+    - Anti-federalists did
+    - Originally only applied to national government (states were free
+      to infringe)
+    - 12 original, 10 ratified. The two unratified
+        - Reapportionment (populations for areas) returns as legislation
+        - 27th amendment in 1992: Congressional pay, etc
+
+Amendments
+- One of the most difficult processes
+- Two formal ways to propose amendments
+    - A 2/3 vote in each chamber of Congress
+    - Nationwide convention (never used)
+        - Called by Congress at request of state legislature
+        - State representatives vote towards the amendment
+        - Also requires 2/3
+- Two ways to ratify
+    - Positive vote in 3/4 of state legislatures
+        - Time limit to vote on amendment
+    - Special Convention (used once)
+        - States send delegates
+        - Faster
+- Divisive issues being proposed means that amendments haven't happened
+
+Government Under the Constitution
+- Confederal system ruled out by AoC
+- Unitary system would be national giving out power to subnationals
+- Federal system sets more concrete national/subnational bounds.
