A few questions? What are you trying to do, get us to do your homework?

1: When forming an independent nation, America was having trouble gaining international respect. TRUE, until the Battle of Saratoga. After that the prospect of the colonies actually gaining independence was reasonable. When King Louis XVI received the American ministers at court it was a signal to the rest of Europe that America was a real nation state, and not just a bunch of rebels.

2: Shay’s Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion were both examples of domestic frustration from the poor people suffering in America. FALSE. Both of these insurrections were challenges to the idea of strong central government. When Washington put down the Whiskey Rebellion with troops it made it clear that the Federal government was in authority, and that the duly enacted laws of Congress were to be obeyed. Shay’s rebels were just a bunch of armed scofflaws.

3: Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Articles of Confederation.
FALSE. The Articles were drafted by a committee of the members of the Continental Congress. Jefferson was their recording secretary.

4: Philadelphia was the primary location for the development of our national founding documents. TRUE. Philly was the site of the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution.

5: The delegates of the Constitutional Convention threw aside the Articles, rather than revising it, and started over with forming their new government. TRUE. The Articles were not sufficient for a united nation; they barely functioned well enough to fight the war. Washington, who had to deal and negotiate constantly with the leaders of the various states for the simple necessities of combat, knew all too well that a fresh start was called for.

6: A primary conflict when forming the Constitution was the allotment of power between the states and the central government. TRUE.

7: The Philadelphia delegates decided to give all of the nation’s power to the central government. FALSE

8: The Great Compromise dealt with state representation in Congress. TRUE. The Great Compromise gave the small states equal representation with the big states in the Upper House of Congress (the Senate), making it much harder for the more populous states to lord it over their smaller brethren.

9: The Three-fifths Compromise declared that three-fifths of the population would need to vote for a change in the Constitution in order for it to be revised. FALSE. The southern slave-holding states wanted to count their slaves along with their free citizens for purposes of determining their states’ representation in Congress, because the larger the enumerated population the larger their voting delegation in Congress. The North was indignant and said in effect “You southerners can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either you free the slaves, in which case we have no objection to them being counted in the census, or you keep them enslaved and uncounted.” The issue was resolved by counting a slave as 3/5s of a free white citizen.

10: Federalist wanted to ratify the Constitution, while Anti-federalists thought it needed to be changed before they would accept it. TRUE. This conflict led to the Bill of Rights.

11: The Federalists were responsible for the Bill of Rights, while the anti-Federalists were responsible for the strong central government. FALSE. The Federalists didn’t object to the Bill of Rights, they just thought it wasn’t necessary.

12: All states have their own constitution that works in conjunction with the national Constitution. FALSE. States have constitutions, but they are not adjuncts of the national constitution.

13: All state constitutions contain the three-branch system and the balance of power similar to that of our national government. As far as I know this is true.

14: State Constitutions can override the national Constitution if the Supreme Court rules it so. FALSE. The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land and Court hasn’t the power to change this fact. If a state constitution is at odds with the national constitution the state document has to give way on that point of law.

15: Our Constitution has never been revised FALSE. There have been 27 amendments (or revisions) so far.

Marc Anthony. Shang was the name of an ancient Chinese dynasty, but that's all I can think of at any rate. Olympics started in Greece. And the last part I believe was Alexander the Great, however I'm unsure on this. I do know he was from Greece and was Greek and eventually conquered the Persian Empire. Hope it helps!
