Articles of Confederation

The biggest mistake in making the articles of confederation was the haste in which it was put together. The problem with it is that it really was not meant to last much past the Revolution and was really just to make sure that all colonies would fight the British in good faith. The articles were more of a knee jerk government in that the colonists despised the strong monarchy of england that they reacted to it by making a government that was too weak to do anything. However, much like grumblings we here in america today about taxes, the biggest problem that the articles had was no ability to tax. Without a consistent revenue stream a government, even if given powers cannot exercise those powers, such with the ability under the articles to have an army and a navy, but without funds how can you pay soldiers or build ships. However, one of the other issues that somewhat plagued the articles was the idea that all states had to agree to everything, an idea that you will find brought up again during the american civil war time period by none other than John c Calhoun and his idea of concurrent majority which lends itself to the states rights issue. States rights, anti-tax, and nullification crisis. You know Mark Twain was right, "History never repeats its self but it sure does rhyme a lot" The destruction of the current government in america will very likely come from these three topics, seeing as many states are in the midst of nullification with the federal health care law and the movement to take power away from our federal government along with the hatred of taxes, will cripple the power of our federal government. If only there was some other indicator in history to show us what the future will hold!

Article V of the Constitution spells out the processes by which amendments can be proposed and ratified.

The Articles of Confederation were weak and did not even give a semi-strong Government.

The Legislative Branch mainly consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Other state lawmaking bodies are also part of the Legislative Branch.

Since taxes could only be collected if the states willing gave money to the federal government, many state simply chose not to give sufficient moneys to the federal government. Without money to function, the federal government could not effectively coordinate policies within the United States.

No, In accordance with President Washington's directions, "the books, records, and papers of the late Congress, the Great Seal of the federal union, and the Seal of the admiralty" were delivered over to Roger Alden, deputy secretary of the new Congress, who had been designated by President Washington as custodian for the time being. This marked the last act of the Continental congress.

Many Federalists advocated for the creation of a new government because they thought that the Articles of Confederation did not give the makeshift federal government enough power to maintain a cohesive nation. For instance under the Articles, the federal government could not levy taxes or regulate any sort of relations between the states. Every state had the right to print its own money which created a huge number of problems with inflation and banking. To fix these problems, Federalists wanted a new, more powerful federal government, hence their Federalist moniker.

The document needed to be ratified by a unanimous vote of all thirteen colonies. The first state to ratify was Virginia on December 16, 1777. It did not become a binding document to legally establish the union of the states until March 1, 1781, when Maryland finally ratified the document.

A scientific opinion is normally held by a scientific body such as a 'learned society' or 'national organisation' or perhaps a science-based government body. It is the formal consensus position of the scientists of that organisation.

More abstractly, scientific opinion (analagous to public opinion) is the consensus between the various published scientific opinions, and need not be unique (eg: their could be two dissenting groups of opinions). Generally, inidividual scientists opinions do not contribute to 'scientific opinion' in the same way scientific organisational opinions do (because they are somewhat irrelevant, in the same way that fringe opinions of individual public do not necessarily impact on 'public opinion' generally)

As for 'scientific opinion article' I would guess it is an article which presents or explores scientific opinion as above. Normally scientific opinion is formulated from scientific bodies issuing 'position statements' and the like, not articles.

I really appreciate this article, I feel this was of great help

The three weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation were that it limited the powers of Congress and preserved the powers of the states, Congress had little economic power, and the new confederation government was weak since there was no president to carry out the laws.
