Articles of Confederation

Weak would be the best way to describe the national government created by the Articles of Confederation. Under the Articles of Confederation, the states held most of the power.

The James Madison Papers document the life of Madison. The collection includes extensive notes on the Articles of Confederation.

If you want to put someone in charge, then they need to be able to do their job unhindered. Saying "you can do whatever you like as much as you want, no limits. Except you need permission from this person and only after these other people have agreed to let you first" is slighty absurd.

Model Parliament was held. English king calls representatives together to advise him on governing England.

The youngest signer was 26 years old. His name was Jonathon Dayton.

Well that was one of the main reason the articles were scrapped, the government didn't have the right to institute taxes! Basically the states decided weather they paid taxes or not.

Under the Articles of Confederation, all representation was based on one vote per state. Each state was represented on an equal basis, regardless of size. Legislation under the Articles required a two-thirds vote majority. However, to amend the Articles an affirmative vote from all of the states was required.

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.

second continental congress

i dont know this is a questionstion my teacher gave me?

Aside from the fact that only 5 of the 13 states were represented (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia), the delegates had not been authorized to seek more than a limited agreement on commercial trade. The representatives of 4 other states did not arrive on time for the meeting. The remaining 4 states were absent.

The final report recognized that a wider convention would be required to address the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation, not the least of which was the requirement of unanimity (difficult if not impossible to achieve). That convention would be held in Philadelphia in 1787, and ultimately replaced the Articles with an entirely new framework, the US Constitution.

1. It soon became clear that the Articles of Confederation had some serious problems. To begin with, the Congress could not pass a law unless 9 states voted in favor for it. These strict voting requirments made it difficult for the Congress to accomplish anything. Thank you! Erik G BHS
