Articles of Confederation

I nedd this anwer either

Congress was made up of delegates chosen by the states and could conduct foreign affairs, make treaties, declare war, maintain an army and a navy, coin money, and establish post offices. However, measures passed by Congress had to be approved by 9 of the 13 states. Congress was severely limited in its powers. It could not raise money by collecting taxes; it had no control over foreign commerce; it could pass laws but could not force the states to comply with them. Thus, the government was dependent on the willingness of the various states to carry out its measures, and often the states refused to cooperate.

Yes, it is true that some of the smaller states without Western land claims, such as Maryland, would not ratify the Articles of Confederation unless the larger states such as New York and Virginia abandoned their claims to land in the Ohio River Vallery. Since the Articles had been written so that they had to be ratified, or passed, by all thirteen colonies before they became effective, and the colonies were eager to proceed as a confederation of states, the larger states eventually gave up their claims. This enabled the Confederation to resolve the disputes over conflicting claims to these western lands and to set up the "Northwest Ordinance" which provided for a system of organization and development for these lands.

The powers of congress were weak

It is kept in the National Archives, along with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

The meeting between Maryland and Virginia was called the Mount Vernon Conference. The main discussion was regarding commerce, fishing, and control of water navigation for their common borders.

The colonial delegates met in Philadelphia to plan a better form of government after the Articles of Confederation.

The articles of confederation were garbage, written by a group of people that were deathly afraid of having too much power vested in one person. The AoC had no power to tax or raise armies. A rebellion caused the founding fathers to realize that something else had to be done.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government had very little power and no judicial branch. When states had conflicts, there was no arbitrator to judge or enforce solutions to problems. Therefore, the founding fathers decided that a stronger federal government was needed, so they wrote the Constitution.

The Articles gave more power to the states and kept a weak central government.

do your own homework trough research, not the internet

The constitution was written by our founding fathers and the article of confederation was written by mad Slave owners whom were afraid they had to to do their own work! This is AMERICA RED and WHITE stripes and Stars on a Blue background is the only color we know! Don't like America or Americans then

1. Learn tolerance

2. Leave the country!

this couintry was built on the blood sweat and tears of all races!

Get in a fire fight against an enemy and ask yourself "Do you really only want the white bullets"? or would you take any color bullet to defend our way of life? God created each and every human on this planet and God id Pefect MANKIND is flawed! Racism is a Cancer it will consume one and kill all things beautiful in ones life! Hatred is the devils Nephew!

Did not give congress the power to tax

There were a number of problems with the Articles of Confederation. Some of the weaknesses included the Congress lacking power to collect taxes, the national government could not regulate trade among the states and so many more.

Drafted during the years 1776 and 1777, while the colonists were still fighting for independence, the Articles of Confederation created a weak national government with most of the governmental powers retained by the states. The Articles provided no separation of branches. There was no president or any other independent executive, nor was there a federal judicial branch. Congress, the legislature, was the only branch of government. Laws required unanimous votes. Members elected to congress did not vote as individuals, but as states. While congress did have some powers, it could not enforce its laws on the states or the people. States were permitted to coin their own money. There was no regulation of commerce between the states and states could even enter into treaties with foreign nations and declare war, "with the consent of Congress." Congress could not tax the states or the people, it could only request funds to run the government. The government under the Articles proved to be so weak that a convention was called to revise the Articles. This became known as the Constitutional Convention because the delegates decided to throw out the Articles and start creating a new government for the nation.

The Articles required a unanimous vote in Congress, so single dissenting states could block any federal measures.

Speaker 2 After experiencing the tyranny of Great Britain,Americans know how important it is to limit the goverment's power.

Apex(:

There was no foreign policy, and states printed their own currency. The federal government could not tax; there was no Federal Army, no judicial system, and a lack of national compulsive power over states.

It was a weak alliance, it needed approval from 9 of all 13 states to be amended, no executive or judicial branch, only a one house congress where every state had 1 vote. It couldn't regulate interstate trade, impose taxes, or coin money. They also had no leader to run the country.

The Second Continental Congress was responsible for writing the Articles of Confederation

There were nothing rawr

They believed in the article of confederation.

The South was unable to trade or import/export after the Union had blockaded the ports of the South. The south also had very few factories to provide necessary guns, amunition ,uniforms ,and most of all shoes. The South had only 8500 miles of railroad compared to the North's 21000 miles connecting all of its major and important cities, enabling the North to quickly and easily move supplies and soldiers around. The South had only around nine million people while 3 million were slaves. They needed more to be able to fight in the armies and they were greatly outnumbered by the Union Army.

Because the articles didn't provide a strong enough basis for the nation, under the articles the US was more like 13 small countries with a loose alliance. The Constitution allowed them to have an army, unified form of government, etc.

the met the Indians or Native American in the north east

While the Articles of Confederation had many weaknesses, it was able to accomplish much. It held the states together until the Constitution was written. It developed a fair policy for the development of the western lands. The states ceded their claims to the lands west of the Appalachians to the central government. This helped forge a feeling of national unity and congress under the Articles enacted laws to organize the western territories and admit new states on an equal footing with the original states. The Articles successfully negotiated a peace with Great Britain ending the Revolutionary War. Congressional departments of Foreign Affairs, War, Marine, and Treasury were established, each under a secretary. This set the precedent for the creation of the executive cabinets under the Constitution. The Articles also encouraged cooperation among the states. Though not always successful, the Articles provided that each state gave "full faith and credit" to the legal acts of the other states.
