hi do you know the answer to this question?
NOthing they dont care about the people
To pass laws all states need to agree
Yes, this was true under the Articles of the Confederation. The rule as put into place and passed to ensure equality between larger and smaller states by population.
The Articles required a unanimous vote in Congress, so single dissenting states could block any federal measures.
Under the Articles of Confederation the American colonists fought and defeated Great Britain and gained independence. By the end of the "Confederation era," Congers had created a bureaucracy to administer the day-to-day affairs of the government. The issue over the western lands was solved under the Articles. The large states holding vast amounts of western land ceded the land to the government under the Articles so that all the states could share in the wealth of those lands. The Northwest Ordinances were passed that provided for the creation of equal, self governing states in the Northwest Territories and the newly created states would have the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states. Congress also provided for a survey of the western lands to prepare the land for sale to all.
