  1. 1) What Roche meant by describing the constitutional Covention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus is "that it had to operate with great delicacy and skill in a political cosmos full of enemies to achieve one definitive goal- popular approbation".
    2) Some major political constraints operating during the constitutional covention was between a strong central government and the public interest."It is rather to argue that in politics there are no immaculate conceptions, and that in the drive for a stronger general government motives of all sorts played a part, common good or public interest that militated against their private status."
    3) Roche feels that the role of political theory at the constitutional convention was a "united front". "These men did demonstrate a willingness to compromise their parochial interest in behalf of an ideal which took shape before their eyes and under their ministrations.

    1. I Agree with Cecilias second answer. The greatest hurdle of the constitution was to make a basic draft that most would adhere on a basic level. Without public interest active in the constitution, there would be great difficulty in in defeating the political constraints.

    2. I agree with Cecilia's first answer because the Constitutional Convention of 1787 did try to "Achieve one definitive goal-popular approbation." It was important to make sure that they where careful in their decision making process in order to satisfy the wants of most people.

  2. 1. A caucus is a closed meeting of policians to decide on a matter. The 1787 Convention is a perfect representation of this because the representatives were going to completely reform the draft for government, and they had to do so in secrecy. As Roche says they were "plotting to establish a much stronger... than existed under the Articles".
    2. The major political constraints were achieving great support from the people, how to please the conflicting states needs, and set up a equal representation system. It was a matter of "inuduce the states, by democratic techniques of coercion".
    3.The role of political theory was to diffirentiate between abstract ideals and reality. "They had to take home an acceptable package and defend iT" Roche that the representatives took the working parts of political theory, and put them into one basic draft. "A number of them... with the history of political theory".

  3. 1)When Roche is describing the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus he tries to explain how the convention had to be operated "with great delicacy and skill" because it is a big decision. They have to make sure they're meeting not only their standards, but the nation's as well to receive "popular approbation".
    2)A major political constraint operating during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was the Constitutionalists. They "went forth to subvert the Confederation." Also, in order to accomplish their task " they utilized the mechanisms of political legitimacy."
    3)Roche feels that the role of political theory at the Constitutional Convention was something the "framers divided their time between philosophical discusssions of government and reading the classics in political theory." Roche said some of the "framers" had some "aquaitance with the history of political theory, and it was a poor rhetorician indeed who could not cite Locke...in support of a desired goal."

    1. I agree with Sandra's first answer. Their job was to make a government that has both the approval of the people and the stability that the Articles of Confederations lacked. Their decisions could affect the whole nation.

  4. 1. When Roche describes the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus, he meant that the Convention "had to operate with great delicacy and skill in a political cosmos full of enemies to achieve the one definitive goal - popular approbation". In other words, the delegates had to approach creating an effective but controlled national that would overcome the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.

    2. Some major political constraints during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was that there was a conflict on how the government would be shaped. Each state wanted the government to benefit them. Another major constraint was that there was a "large element of personality in the affair". There were people who supported the Constitution simply because the opposition had the "wrong" people against it.

    3. Roche felt that political theory jerked the delegates from their chased after Utopia. As discussions continued, they found that "they were not residents of Utopia or guardians of Plato's Republic...They were practical politicians in a democratic society.". It didn't matter what their private dreams were, they had to make an acceptable "package" to take back to their state.

  9. 1.) What Roche means by the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus is that it was a closed meeting that had to be held with "great delicacy and skill". That the decision they make would need to satisfy the people and they would gladly follow it.

    2.) One political restraint in the Constitutional Convention was that the states had a lot of power and had strong views on state having more than the central government which had to be compromised in many ways in the convention.

    3.)Roche felt that the role of political theory at the Constitutional Convention was to distinguish between what was reality and idealist ideas. That they had to make an "acceptable package" that people will accept.

  18. 1. Roche describes the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a "democratic reform caucus" because it was held to reform the old Articles of Confederation and make it fair for all 13 states. It took a very long time in that every state was given an equal and fair seat in the government.

    2.Major political constraints during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 dealt with things about fair frame work for all states and major figures in previous events in US history not wanting to show up. States all wanted what was best for their own state and everyone kept disagreeing. On the other hand Patrick Henry "smelt a rat" and didn't show up, while Samuel Adams was across the oceans.

    3. Roche felt the Constitutional Convention was "neither a victory" but more "democratic political action." The old government wasnt stable enough, and the leaders of the country got together only to form a better figure of government.

    A major political straint of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was the fact that each state wanted to shape the government to benefit themselves the most.

  22. 1.) I think that Roche described the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus because the 'Founding Fathers' were all trying to decide on the best decisions that the majority, if not all, of the states would agree on and that would also be fair.
    2.) Some major political constraints were that everyone had their ideas and opinions and trying to agree on just a select few was always a struggle. Another would be coming up with a plan that would be fair to all and come up with a way to reserve and restrict federal/national power.
    3.) Roche felt that the role of political theory was a place where everyone can start from and kind of grow from in the sense of it being based on a more philosophical foundation.

  23. -When Roche describes the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus, he means that within the government involved "democrats", there needed to come an agreement, which was a "nationalist reform", in order to retain popular approbation.

    -During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, some major constraints dealt with the many issues state's rights tended to come with and, the approval or dissaproval of a "strong central authority".

    -Roche feels that the role of political theory was to achieve and have established a better national government through the process of reforming the Articles of Confederation, but at the end, coming up with a new constitution. Politicians "reasoned,cajoled, threatened..., in order to end up with a form of government that the people accepted.

  24. 1) When Roche describes the constitutional convention of 1787 as a democratic caucus, he means that the convention "had to operate with great delicacy and skill..." because the future of the nation was on their hands.

  31. 1. Caucus means a meeting of members of a legislative body to decide policy, so when Roche describes the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus is that people met to reform the Articles of Confederation and strengthen our central government to get the people's approval and consent.

    2. Some major political constraints operating during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were that our Founding Fathers couldn't decide on how many members should each state get in our legislative branch, if slaves should be counted for representation and for taxes, and the big issues was just how strong should our central government be.

    3. Roche felt that the role of political theory at the Constitutional Convention was to come up with a plan that was realistic and would get the citizens' approval.

  33. 1) A caucus is a group of important people that gather to make important decisions. In the Constitutional convention, great minds gathered to make the important decision to amend the constitution while isolated from outer influences.

    2) A major constraint in the Convention was keeping in mind the consent of the people. To accomplish that, everyone present in the Convention had to agree on any decisions that were to be made.

    3) The Political Theory kept the discussions on track and distinguished between philosophical ideals and the reality they live in. The Political Theory helped construct a good basis of agreement to be in union.

  36. 1.First of all a caucus is a closed meeting of political members to decide an important matter such as the 1787 convention, and Roche described it that way because Framers had to be careful and wisely with everything they wrote.
    2.Some major political constraints operating during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was that each state wanted things that would benefit them while other states opposed them for the reason that it would not benefit them. Another constraint was the approval or dissaproval of a strong central authority.
    3.Roche felt that the role of political theory at the Constitutional Convention was the framers decision upon idealistic and realistic ideas.

  38. 1. A caucus is a closed meeting where important political members gather to decide important matters like the 1787 convention. Roche describes it in that matter because Framers needed to watch what they wrote.

    2.)Some political constraints operating during the constitutional convention of 1787 was creating an agreement between the Fathers where people would accept the new constitution and see if people actually follow it.

  41. 1. When Roche describes the Constitutional Convention of 1787 as a democratic reform caucus he says it had to operate with great delicacy and skill to achieve the definite goal of popular approbation. They had to meet not only their own standards but also the peoples. It was set to improve the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.
    2. Some major political constraints operating during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was on how the govt. would be formed. How to please the state's conflicts since everybody had a large element of personality, to achieve great support from the people, and set up a equal representation system.
    3. Roche felt that the role of political theory at the Constitutional Convention was to create an order and agreement so that there would be strength to all, none overpowering eachother. So they came up with an ideal package that everyone approved of.
