What defects in the Articles of Confederation does Morse see?

Could the articles of confederation regulate trade?

Yes, the Articles of Confederation granted the national government the power to regulate trade among the states. However, the national government had limited authority and lacked the ability to enforce its trade regulations effectively. This ultimately led to economic difficulties and a need for a stronger central government, which resulted in the drafting of the United States Constitution.


What exposed the defects of the Articles of Confederation?

One event was Shays Rebellion in 1786, which threatened the state government of Massachusetts until put down by a private militia force.


What are the Defects of the articles of confederation?

My assignment was the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation. There were many difficulties when this great nation was first getting started. If I were alive at that time and saw how they treated one another and the way that things were conducted I would never had imagined that we would have what we have today. According to the text some states began to coin their own money because of the chaos that came from the trading among one another. (O'Connor & Sabato, 2009, p. 10) Another weakness that the Articles of Confederation had was that they didn't allow Congress to regulate commerce among the states or with foreign nations. (O'Connor & Sabato, 2009, p. 10) If we didn't have this type of trading today we would not be one of the most powerful nations on the planet. The articles also had provisions against the executive branch and the judicial system. The provision with the executive branch of government was that it would be responsible for executing, or implementing, laws passed by the legislative branch. The text also stated that the President was just merely the presiding officer at meetings. The judicial system which is there to handle the growing number of economic conflicts was also a problem with the Articles of Confederation. This type of system today would be a disaster waiting to happen. This country would not be where it is if it were not for the countless of allies this country has and for setting boundaries on states and who can own what and for what cost. (O'Connor & Sabato, 2009, p. 10) If this were the case in today's world we would never get anywhere with anything that was brought to their attention and we would be a country that is always at war with either ourselves or with the rest of the world. The greatest weakness that the articles had was the lack of a strong central government basically saying that the states acted individually and made their own rules and laws and it didn't matter what the rest said. In today's government some of this is still true today with the different states having their own rules and regulation but in the end it comes down to what the president has to say, they don't just ignore him as they did in the past

A proven manufacturing process that produces a specific product with absolutely no defects either in quality or performance. Zero defect basically is a ideal case, put forward by Philip Crosby.

Did the people of Rhode Island want the a national government?

Yes, most saw that it would be essential for their mutual defense but they had no interest in a US Constitution that failed to contain a Bill of Rights or that allowed large states to rule over small states with impunity. Until these defects were remedied they would sit it out on the sidelines.Rhode Island persisted and it won the argument on both counts when the Legislature was modified to include a US Senate where each of the states had equal standing and assurances were given that a Bill of Rights would be added.
