Articles of Confederation

No, but he contributed. The Articles were written by a committee of the Second Continental Congress between June 12, 1776 and July 1777. The committee was chaired by John Dickinson of Philadelphia, who in 1777 relocated to Delaware and was later both the President (governor) of Delaware and the President (governor) of Pennsylvania.

He did not Ike it I can tell you that. He was a man with federalist ideals, and pushed for a strong central government, which the confederation did not supply.

legislative, executive, judicial, relations between the states, national supremacy, and ratification

under tha Articles of Confederation, the federal government had little to no power. they could not control taxes and there was no president. The reason was that the early Founders did not want an overly powerful gvt.

The US did not have an actual national government under the Articles, which retained the sovereignty of the states and required them to cooperate in practically every aspect. This was always difficult and sometimes impossible. There was no executive except the President of Congress, no standing military, and no unified system of courts. The framers decided that the nation needed a stronger unifying force, and the weaknesses of the Articles had already vexed them for more than 7 years.

John Rutledge participated in the articles of confederation. He was from South Carolina so he supported the south and all of their decisions. In one of the arguments, he believed that slaves and Whites should be counted together when figuring the population for purposes of representation. When the question was asked: should the nationally legislature have the power to control trade and the slave trade? he was part of the south so he feared that the national legislature might place export duties on their crops, interfere with slave trade, and make commercial treaties favoring the north. He also helped make the constitution and signed it also.

Baby cme to me.

The first problem was that the new goverment could not settle disputes between states. The second problem was that foreign countries did not respect the nation. And the third was that the new goverment could not raise enough money

Fears were:

1. The citizens would think that the federal government was too strong, therefore being too much like the Great Britain they had just escaped from.

2. If the federal government held all the power, then the states would become dictated, and the states wouldn't have enough freedom.

3. This resulted in the states having too much power and not giving enough money to the federal government when in need.

Luckily, a few Founding Fathers fixed that...like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and so on...

The meeting was scheduled in Philadelphia.

The Articles were designed to meet the requirements of the Revolutionary War, which they did. The states at that time were highly independent and wished to preserve for themselves more power in deciding state issues.

The AofC is a short document. Read it. In its succinctness it shows that the Founders had only a temporary solution in mind for government. The Constitution is the next step in their government creation.

it was in 1781

National government with limited powers. Congress could settle conflicts among states, make coins, and borrow money. States had the power to refuse requests, and did not have a president or court system.

There were many reasons that led the people to call for changes to the Articles of Confederation. One such reason was because too many states fought among themselves which in turn weakened the government instead of united the colonies against Britain.

The power to tax. The power to enforce the laws that were enacted. A court system to resolve disputes among the states and interperet federal law. The power to force the states to abide by treaties negotiated in their name.

The Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Articles of Confederation were ultimately abandoned by our four fathers and the US Constitution was written.

The Articles of Confederation required unanimous consent of the 13 states to amend it. Two attempts were made to do so, each one failing by one vote.

The Articles of Confederation worked at the time.

The Articles of Confederation did not create the executive or judicial branches.
