Articles of Confederation

Start with:

"The Articles of Confederation were an important part of American History" and then go from there. Good luck!

Each State had the power to collect its own taxes, issue currency, and provide for its own militia. The government could not govern efficiently because of a general lack of power to compel states to honor national obligations. The government's main activity was to control foreign policy and conclude treaties.

Attempted to anticipate problems that might occur in the operation of the new national government as well as its relations to the states.

The Congress

The people that lived in the north, because it ment that the south was now separate and had its own form of government

The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses that made it necessary to consider amending it. First, the Articles gave the government no power to tax and raise money. Second, there was no mention of a national army or navy, which would make it difficult to defend the country. Third, There was no central agency to issue money for the nation, leaving each of the former colonies to issue their own which created a chaotic situation.

It happened right after the stamp act in 1761. The time was 1762.

Yes he did help write it. the Second Contental Congress wrote and rattified the Articles of Confederation.

It depends entirely on which country's constitution is being considered. In the United States Constitution, it is Article I.

Yes. In establishing a republic with a strong central government, the US Constitution resolved many of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.

The powers of the new federal government included taxation, printing money, establishing treaties, providing a standing military, and the regulation of interstate commerce. The three branches of the government encompassed the full range of law in the US.

The main reason was that the articles of confederation allowed for too weak a government to provide for common defense, this original constitution drifted to far towards Anarchy. If you do not understand the American political system the way it was let me explain. on the extreme left side is Tyranny which has great control over the people and is unfair, monarchies, oligarchies and to a lesser extent democracies fall under the category of Tyrannical government systems. On the extreme right side of the of the political bar is Anarchy which has no law and the people have no protection or laws save themselves. In the center of the bar is a republic which has the correct balance of government and freedom and is controlled by the people. With the articles of confederation being too far to the right side the government would destabilize and probably be turned into an oligarchy or other tyrannical government. So the founders developed a new constitution that was a Republic and in the center of the political spectrum and could remain strong without infringing peoples natural rights.

hi do you know the answer to this question?

because the articles lacked an outline for a tax system that would pay debts. -apex

A revised estimate is the difference between the former budget estimates and the actual expenditure, which is usually presented in the next budget.

Focus on one element of your writing at a time.

They said that the national government consisted only of a Congress, which was made to make laws for the good of the country. In Congress each state was given 1 vote, but was allowed to send between 2 and 7 delegates to represent the vote. Congress was given the power to declare war, make peace, regulate the currency, borrow money, establish a postal system, manage Indian affairs, and settle disputes between the states.

All changes to the confederation would have to be unanimous from thereon.

The Articles of Confederation were written to provide a form of government for the newly-united 13 colonies.

They did not work because they gave the federal government little power and gave the states too much power. The states acted as separate nations, yet still expected the federal government to handle everything. For example: the federal government was expected to pay the army, but had no means to do so.
