Articles of Confederation

1. The Government couldn't enforce laws because there was no national Judicial system.

2. The Congress was always short of money because the states could refuse to give some to them. They didn't have enough money to fund an army because none of the colonies agreed to pay their taxes. So they only made them pay for running their government.

3. The States would print their own money and use it instead of the money the congress printed. That caused a messed up system because each state wouldn't accept another states money because no one could decide what the states were worth.

4. There wasn't a very strong Army because of the articles. Because states could refuse to give money and or troops. Spain quickly took advantage of that situation. They closed up the New Orleans port meanwhile Britain refused to move from the Ohio Valley.

5. The states couldn't handle arguments among themselves because there was no President to help resolve issues.

6. They fought over boundaries and river boundaries. They complained about a lot of things.

The people faced problems with inflation high state taxes rebelilon and unrest

The Articles of Confederation gave power to the States even though Congress was still the main power.

AW 107 refers to the Articles of War number 107. It was under this authority that a service man was honorably discharged from the army/navy/etc during or after WW2. AW 107 authorized the the issue and wear of a lapel pin to be worn for up to 30 days on his uniform and then later on his civilian clothes signifying his honorable discharge. This pin later became known as the "ruptured duck." The pin was first issued in a metal version, but because of material shortages it was later issued in gilded plastic and a cloth version.

Answer I think AW107 has to do with AWOL and not authority to issue an Honorable Discharge and wear a ruptured duck.

Answer I am looking at two Army Separation Documents WD/AGO Form 53-55. On each it has a remarks block. On each it has entry: "Time Lost Under AW 107: __ days". I think AW107 is Article of War covering Absence Without Official Leave.

Answer I can't believe how many web pages contain "Articles of War". I quickly found the original British version from 1749 and US version of 1806, but Article 107 was a much later addition.

"ART. 107. SOLDIERS TO MAKE GOOD TIME LOST. Every soldier who deserts the service of the United States, or who without proper authority absents himself from his organization, station, or duty for more than one day, or who is confined for more than one day under sentence, or while awaiting trial and disposition of his case, if the trial results in conviction, or who through the intemperate use of drugs or alcoholic liquor, or through disease the result of his own misconduct, renders himself unable for more than one day to perform duty shall be liable to serve, after his return to a full duty status, for such period as shall, with the time he may have served prior to such desertion, unauthorized absence, confinement, or inability to perform duty, amount to the full term to his enlistment." So, if your grandpa wasn't court-martialed (which would certainly be noted in his discharge papers), he probably partied a bit too much and over-stayed his leave or came back too drunk for duty. All Hat No Horse Answer My Dad also has the "1 Day Lost Under AW 107" noted on his separation papers. I remember him saying that he and a buddy got drunk, passed out and missed the bus back to camp one night. He said that they busted him back to PFC and gave him KP duty for awhile. We have a picture of him peeling potatoes. I would go with the AWOL and unable to perform duties as being the cause of AW 107.

The Articles of Confederations could not regulate commerce or tax the stated directly; where the 16th amendment comes into play. It however did help untie the west with the NW ordinance and land ordinance.

concregation

true...this is my opinion

Yes. The Articales of Confederation was a quickly thought up government built to protect the "states" after the American Revolution. They were able to tax and raise an army, but only if all the states agreed to it.

The Articles of Confederation created only a legislative branch of government as to prevent Congress from gaining full control. Their method of doing this was creating a "firm league of friendship" rather than a strong central government and allowing states to retain the most power.

In doing so, however, many feared that some states would retain too much power and dominate others in the national government. The Articles of Confederation dealt with these fears by giving each state only one vote regardless of its population and ordaining that on important issues, nine states would have to agree in order to come to a solution.

Under the Articles of Confederation, a law could be passed with the 3/4 majority of the states' delegates voting in favor. At the time of the confederation, there were 13 states, so in order to pass a law, there needed to be 9 states voting in favor of it.

Congress couldn’t pass laws because state representatives did not always attend congressional sessions, so the constitution made it a crime for legislators to skip sessions of congress.

They attempted to revise the Articles of Confederation at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, but found there were too many problems with this method. They threw out the Articles completely and came up with United States' current government, based on the US Constitution.

The continental congress's plan for a central government is called Articles of Confederation. This is part of the government.

1. No legislative branch

2. President who was too strong

3. Not enough power to the federal government

4. No state courts

The Six Reasons For Confederation:

1. Political deadlock led to the Great Coalition in the United Province of Canada. Political Deadlock is when two parties have the same rights and power. he two main party leaders John A. McDonald and George Brown were enemies until John stated that he will join forces with any party to help his home.

2. A railway linking to the colonies was needed to increase trade and to move troops. And it would be less expensive for moving goods. However the two railways both met financial troubles.

3. Cancellation of the Reciprocity treaty by the United States in 1865 ended free trade between British North America (BNA) and United States (US). This was because when US wanted to attack and take over (If below does not happen), they wouldn't feel sorry for themselves when Canada was taken over.

4. There was a threat to American expansion into the British North America (BNA). This is called Manifest Destiny.

5. Great Britain wanted her colonies to be more self sufficient. Otherwise known as the end of the corn laws. Another thing is that they wanted to not pay tariffs or taxes

6. Some people (especially in Canada West) want to expand settlement into Rupert's land and the North West Territories. The government thought this as well so that this area would not be easily taken over.

It did not give the central government enough power

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. 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.

No they are not the same. The Articles of Confederation didn't provide the power for the government to collect taxes, for example.

No, they "were" not the same*
