What was the most important difference between the articles of confederation and the constitution?

The Articles of Confederation were made before the Constitution. The Articles of Confederation was lacking in many things such as balance between states, taxes, and how to ratify amendments. The Constitution solved all of these problems.


How were the articles of confederation and the constitution similar?

· They were established by the same people· Both were the official government of the United States· Both were the laws of the United States government· Both called the nation the United States of America


How does the Constitution relate to us?

In the most general sense, the Constitution is the foundation upon which all the federal laws of the United States Government are based. Also, and equally important, the Constitution tells citizens how they can participate in government. It's important to realize that the People created the Constitution, and it is the People who can change the Constitution. The government works for the people. If every citizen fully realized this, I think many things would change.


What are the parts from the constitution that no longer apply?

Parts of the Constitution as originally approved have been changed by amendments. The first ten amendments to the constitution were, in general, additions to the constitution. Parts of the original constitution that have changed include amendments such as the one that provided for the direct election of United States Senators (they were once appointed by the individual State Legislatures.) Although the Fourteenth Amendment profoundly changed the relationship between the constitution and each citizen (by saying that all citizens had equal rights under the law and making the Bill of Rights applicable to all citizens) it was not an amendment that repealed any part of the original constitution specifically. But it did directly and fundamentally change portions of the original constitution in many ways. The Fourteenth Amendment changed the qualifications for elective national office by saying that officers of any state in rebellion against the United States were ineligible for such office, but this provision has essentially 'died off' as no one alive today meets that disqualification.


For how many years were the Articles of Confederation in effect?

The Articles lasted from March 1, 1781, to March 4, 1789 after that the ratification process took place, and the new constitution still used today was set in place.
