The Constitution, the Articles, and Federalism: Crash Course US History #8
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 06. 2024
- In which John Green teaches you about the United States Constitution. During and after the American Revolutionary War, the government of the new country operated under the Articles of Confederation. While these Articles got the young nation through its war with England, they weren't of much use when it came to running a country. So, the founding fathers decided to try their hand at nation-building, and they created the Constitution of the United States, which you may remember as the one that says We The People at the top. John will tell you how the convention came together, some of the compromises that had to be made to pass this thing, and why it's very lucky that the framers installed a somewhat reasonable process for making changes to the thing. You'll learn about Shays' Rebellion, the Federalist Papers, the elite vs rabble dynamic of the houses of congress, and start to find out just what an anti-federalist is.

When the Founding Fathers finally wrote the Constitution, they realized that they needed to add The Bill of Rights to get citizens on board with the new government: www.commonlit.org/texts/the-b...

The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays, the work divided evenly among the three men. In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays, in the span of six months. John Jay got sick after writing five. James Madison wrote twenty-nine. Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one!

6:16 Hamilton: *giggles excitedly* “I WAS CHOSEN FOR THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!!!”
So, I'm a 29 year old graduate student, and I'm totally hooked on John Greene's history videos. I've been marathoning through these videos. If only my K-12 education made history this entertaining!
jonh: mentons the constitutional convetion.
Me, thinking in hamilton's voice: " I was chosen for the constitutional convetion!
lol. HAMILTON!
So, im currently reading the federalist papers. Probably almost 5 years since I left high school and 7 years since I left my AP US history class when I saw this video for the first time. I highly recommend anyone that is genuinely interested in American history to please read the constitution and the federalist papers as well to get a better grasp of our government and truly appreciate how beautifully written it was. (Minus the slavery and Native American parts obviously) it's important to judge history with a non biased viewpoint and not look at it from a modern lens because you don't know what people went through at the time.
These videos are STILL shown in college courses. Thanks for helping me through AP in high school, and for giving my professors easy homework to hand out!
This video was shown a couple of days ago in my High school class
Is anybody else here the day before the AP exam trying to make up for months of procrastination??
Yup
Excuse me but I would appreciate it if you didn’t call me out lol
big facts!! yessir
Lol
Yes.

My thoughts precisely.
WHY DO YOU WRITE LIKE YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME
+Aerial Dane Write day and night like you're running out of time
Why do you write like you're running out of time? Are you running out of time? Are you running out o-(NOOON-STOP!)
I admire the US constitution in spite of flaws. Its start with, in caps, We, the people.
I live in Norway and our constitution starts with "Kingdom of Norway"
who else is here cramming everything for the ap exam in 2020 like me
i'm stress binging
Me
yessir
😬
You bet 😂
"Constitutional convention"
Hamilton at the constitutional convention! "I was chosen for the convention!" There as a New York Jr delegate. "Now what I'm about to say may seem indelicate."
He goes and proposes his own form of government
WHAT
'Bright young man!'
'Yo, who the eff is this??'
fellow hamilton lovers !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhahhhhhh
Hamilton was a crazy war hungry loon.
Talks for six hours, the Convention is listless
Hamilton wrote
THE OTHER FIFTY ONE
why do you write like your running out of time
write day and night like you're running out of time
every day you fight like you're running out of time
why do you write like you're running out of time?
back before fan fiction
Yay we love cramming in all of US history in less than 48 hours for an APUSH class! WE LOVE PROCRASTINATION! Also crash course helped me get through my world history honors class with my crazy teacher (yes we’re looking at you ms. Snyder)😇
I _love_ how people are admitting to cramming and are lowkey roasting their teachers here.
Wow haven’t seenn this guy since I was in high school in 2016 when the teacher used to put you up on the board all the time for us to watch. So much nostalgia came back from just trying to learn about the constitution more.
Although Crash Course is Walmart and I am just a small grocery store, I always enjoy CC. And while I may not talk as fast as John, I do believe I blink far more than he can ever dream of.
this made me like your channel a lot more 😂 i wanted to let you know you are an idol at my high school, we walk into history class and go “HIP HUGEHS TODAY”. you are an icon. never stop being great.
My college history class uses both CC and your channel quite frequently in the lesson plan.
i just came from your vid
Your videos are awesome and really helped me, especially the ones about the federalist and ant-federalist papers. Thank you so much.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!
Weaponry had advanced past the musket. The puckle gun (patented in 1718) was a rapid fire weapon (in the right hands) that predates the Gatling gun. They had pepperbox pistols as early as 1790 and an array of different weaponry far more dangerous than a musket. And many Founding Fathers liked this sort of stuff. May I remind you that the cannon existed John.
"Hamilton wrote tHE OTHER FIFTY ONE" I'm sorry but I had to do it
YAY HAMILTON THE MUSICAL!
There's so much shade in this video. I love it.
John: 'Shoot Alexander Hamilt-'
Me: "THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH"
IM THE DAMN FOOL THAT SHOT HIM
I AM ALEXANDER HAMILTON
YAY HAMILTON THE MUSICAL!
"And shoot Alexander Hamilton"
THROWING BURR UNDER THE BUS MAN
Burr was a great man
+James Crabb also a super duper sex addict
I like to imagine Lin Manuel-Miranda watched this when he was writing Hamilton and needed a refresher
Thank you, John. I have an LEQ in an hour and I don’t know what I’d be doing without this video
OKAY EVERYONE LETS ADMIT 5:59 WAS WHAT WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR.

The mystery document is from Federalist No. 29, if anyone is curious.
Later, in 46, it is said that the standing army should no bigger than 4% of the size of the populace capable of bearing arms.
Did he just randomly come up with that integer?

Thank you so much!!!!
Why are you here?
“The senate was created to never pass anything”
*LMAO* 😂🤣
I'm south african and I've always admired U.S. History.Crash Course Just makes it more fun and interesting.Thanks again John
no
you should make one where you go through all constitutional ammendments and what they mean
People are here for two reasons, Hamilton, and Studying for exams.
I’m here for Hamilton
I'm sad now, I'm here cause im a nerd lol.
I'm here for history
I like to sleep to all crash course videos
Jade so true😂😂😂
It's kinda ignorant to suggest Hamilton wouldn't have thought that firearms would evolve, being that while they were penning the Constitution, numerous firearms were available that sought to end the Musket/Pennsylvania Long Rifle's one shot fire mechanism.
From the Puckle Gun to Congress's offer of the Belton Flintlock, there were many weapons in that time that tried to jumpstart rapid fire weapon evolution.
Also, James Madison confirmed that Cannons were consititutionally protected under the 2nd Amendment. A cannon then is what a drone is now.
@Jamie Owns that's the thing, nobody has the right to buy anything. You can be refused the sale of guns, you can be refused services of any kind, what can not be taken is the right to own it.
Also, it's a misunderstanding among even gun-rights supporters that the right to own guns comes from the Constitution. This is not true. The way the second amendment is written, along with all the amendments, doesn't say that it is granted, it says it exists. The Constitution acknowledges that these rights exist, rather than give them. The reason for this is that a right given by government or document can be taken away by the same means.
learn how to take joke loooool
That whole video seemed pretty anti-liberty, and vaguely communist.
@@mattsamuelson7990 Thanks for removing all doubt about yourself.
Jamie Owns so should we be able to own mini nukes and tanks as well as drones
"And shoot Alexander Hamilton"
*A A R O N B U R R S I R*
This video basically said everything in 3 chapters of my textbook in 13 minutes and more. I wish I knew about this channel before!
It's basically non-stop from Hamilton
okay important stuff starts here, count down to AP Exam
I have about 13 hours. John Green save me.
WillisnotFunny That is what I am doing as well... Oh boy.
WillisnotFunny OK, it's time to binge-watch every one of these videos and pray that this helps me tomorrow.
WillisnotFunny Oy Vay mate. We're all with you. What I love about Green's videos is that he helps us form distinct opinions about historical events. Really useful for the long essays. Also learnerator has a really good review, you might want to check it out
Also use Princeton Review! I am and this is all review now
Hamilton wanting a life term lmao
POV: your AP exam is in 24 min and you are last minute studying
John you have helped me realize how difficult it is to teach history without inserting commentary whether unintentionally or completely intentionally in animated form. Thanks.
This just summarized 4 months of history class in 13min 😐
too true
teachers should be more like John
Really!? I did this in a week
Then you go to a terrible school. I learned this when I was in 5th grade, and on top of that, this should not exactly that much of a shock.
😂
Lol
I would never challenge John to a staring contest. Its obvious that im gonna lose... XD
Yeah.... So true. Also don't EVER challenge John Green to a breath-holding contest. His lung capacity is HUGE! Like, he never paused ONCE in a 13:03 video. AMAZING.
oh yeah yeah me niether
2:24 Ohio joke 9 years before its popularity, oh the timelessness of CrashCourse.
9:55
Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a series of essays defending the new United States Constitution, entitled The Federalist Papers. The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays, the work divided evenly among the three men. In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays, in the span of six months. John Jay got sick after writing five. James Madison wrote twenty-nine. Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one!
I may have been humming Non-Stop throughout a good portion of this video... Hey, John, have you heard Hamilton yet?
He has, and he loves it.
+Kyber Serafino (wherethesidewalkends) i had the cabinet battle #1 in my head.
+Karis Daae wait for the t jeffs episode
I KNOW RIGHT
as soon as he said Hamilton I started fangirling
Why am I fangirling over a founding father

Anyone here last day for the 2020 APUSH DBQ?
@Allison Lundberg yes
"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing..."

All these years later I can come back to this video and it is still awesome and educational. Timeless.
9:14 Well if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton College!
You spit imma sit we'll see where we laaand
But the revolution is imminent. what do you stall for? If you stand for nothing Burr what will you fall for?

JayThePsychoi omg no! i have mine tomorrow
lol I'm sorry.
What an idiot
F
I don't have an AP class nor do I have an APUSH exam, this is literally just my textbook for American History
My inner fangirl sobs with pride when I see how the Hamilton fans have taken over this comment section. Never would have thought a founding father would get such a huge fan base.
"ALEXANDER HAMILTON DIED BY GUNSHOT" *goes to cry in the corner of the Richard Rogers*
"You know, the kind of good Americanswho take bribes and have adulterous affairs and patronize prostitutes and SHOOT ALEXANDER HAMILTON" DAMN YOU BURR

YAY HAMILTON THE MUSICAL! the world was wide enough AaRoN bUrR!
5:09 "more than half had an education"

I have one question. Why is Skrillex at the Continental Congress?!?!?!
lol
That’s what I noticed lmao
3:40 rise up
when you're living on your knees
you rise up
Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up!
When are these colonies gonna rise up?
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
If I see it coming, do I run or do I let it be?
When he was talking about the constitution convention and the little characters were all there, all i could think about was Alexander Hamilton being the one doing the arm wave thing. That and singing "HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER 51!!"
Thanks for helping me cram! Watched it twice, wish me luck.
Thank u John for teaching me throughout all of my schooling been with u since I was 15 now 22
I finally get why everyone is freaking out every time the guy in the video mentions Alexander Hamilton... Now, WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE THAT MUSICAL?
Bryan JR it's on CZcams right now. watch it before it gets deleted.
Kavisha Chandraratne im not much of a fan of musicals... and i've seen parts of it and it doesn't appeal all that much to me. I do really like the emphasis on Alexander Hamilton's beliefs on freedom and liberty though
@@bryanjr5745 i hope you also liked the emphasis on how much of an idiot he was
its... kinda good?
Anytime I hear "Hamilton" I feel a rush of happiness surging within me.
I had to watch this video for my Intro to Political Science class. I love the way he uses humor it really makes you pay attention and makes learning this information fun! Great video!
I need to say I am impressed by how you do not pass out trying to tell us everything in one breath... You speak so freaking fast!! But, Dear John, I love your videos.
who else is here because of A Push?

Love your channel. Not only do you do a good job conveying the content, but you do an even better job at using good cutaways and popup flash animations to make it actually entertaining. I actually laughed out loud at the rich people doing something comment and skrillex in the background. Great job
Friday is the AP exam... This sucks. Who's here CRAMMING and spending hours and hours of your life in an endeavor you won't even remember in five years? Good luck.
heheh.. me too my dude. good luck for tmrw
Damn I wish us all luck.
Taking it in an hour and a half!!! Go crazy stupid
Soo how did it go

ive been watching your crash course all semester for American Heritage and just wanna say thank you. These are sooooo helpful.
If one good thing comes from my business law class it will be this channel. So entertaining, well thought out, and informative. Thank you for all the hard work making this.

I love this too. I came here to learn for my test coming up, but as soon as john said Alexander...
Of course, Skrillex was a delegate. Why not? XD
I almost thought I was the only one who saw that! 4:42
I don't even have a test or anything, I just thoroughly enjoy these videos
My happiness is immeasurable and my day is fixed
I honestly learn more from your videos than I do from my college professor.
Alexander Hamilton agreed to the duel, he could have just said no. Even though I do not see dueling as a good thing at all.
Zandandido He should have said no to it
+Zandandido +Weena Kapunan
Lord show me how to say no to this, I, don't know how to say no to this, the situation's helpless...
I like how the first couple comments are from Hamilton. XD
Duels weren't called duels back then. They were called affairs of honor, and we're very rarely actually taken to the battle field. Had Hamilton backed down from the duel, he could've been marked as inhonorable, and his career literally could've come to an end. Hamilton was actually an advocate for the end of duels after the death of his son, but backing down from a duel would've put the nail in his coffin (So did taking the duel, but that's not the point.) He could've said no to the duel, but then he would've been marked as cowardly, and his career would be over, and he probably thought they could both walk away with their lives.

Hey John.... thanks for inserting your personal opinions into our history lesson... appreciate the unbiased approach. Signed, ~A Sarcastic Fan of Crash Course
My teacher sucks. He has us do busy work all day, and springs tests on us like, "Guys there's a test tomorrow so do your 50 page chapter outlines to study for it." So I resorted to the faithful and diligent John Green. I'll let you know if I ace my Constitution test Mr. Green.
I never understood why Crash Course sometimes resorted to cheap referential humour (ie. that guy whose name I don't remember from the Jersey Shore popping up briefly upon the mention of New Jersey) until we watched this episode today in world history. I understand that most high schoolers aren't interested in history, but that pop culture stuff is what caught their attention. So I understand now. Thank you for making Crash Course enjoyable for everyone, not just the nerds who are unironically interested, but the apathetic kids as well to the extent that maybe they'll remember the lesson more than if it was read from a humourless textbook.
No one but me laughed at the foreshadowing filter though and that I'll never understand.
