Hi! Today I want to show you what we?ve done this morning in Social Sciences class.At the beginning of the class, we?ve reviewed what we did on Tuesday. Paqui has made a short summary which included: the Reasons of the discontent, how they declared independence and the American War of Independence.
Then, Paqui has explained us the ?First Representative Government of USA?.

The USA was a presidential Republic ( the president holds the power) and federal State (every state has important powers)
A big part of the population was excluded from these rights. They didn?t reform the Constitution, but they added things.
