A Report On The Swiss Confederation

Articles of Confederation ~ A league of friendship. The original plan of government in which a state retains independence.

Last year, our new government was formed. We agreed to what the Articles had said. It seems that now we are having issues with what we had once agreed with. In this newsletter, I will only address four of the most problematic things in the Articles of Confederation. However there are many more that will not be brought to light today.

1) What accounts for Deutsche Brauerei’s rapid growth in recent years? Specifically, what policy choices account for this success?

The healthcare systems of Switzerland and the United States are quite similar in some aspects and vastly different in others. In Switzerland, the healthcare is universal and available to all. It is provided by private individual insurance companies and subsidized by the government when needed. Basic health insurance is required to be purchased within 3 months of residency or after birth and is an individual’s choice as to what carrier they choose. Of course, there are exceptions to this mandate but they are very few.("Healthcare in Switzerland," “n.d.”, para. 1) Because of this requirement, 99.5% of the population in Switzerland has

The Article of Confederation was a written document that was put in place in 1777 after the 13 colonies had gained independence from the British. During the time in which the Articles of Confederation were still in place; there were problems arising like: the Continental Army not being paid for their services, the struggling economy, and the people wanting to overthrow the government. But events that had taken place had brought the elite for a Constitutional Convention. In the Convention; the elite had discussed the problem that the Articles had caused for them and for the people. The elites during the convention had scrapped the Articles and wrote a new document; which was the Constitution. The Articles of Confederation had a lot of weakness, and this pushed the leaders to hold the Constitutional Convention, also the leaders had to make sure that the people didn't as much power over the government as they did.

The topic of this paper is the Constitution. The paper will cover the weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, which was addressed in the Constitution. The paper will cover the how the Constitution addressed the complaints in the Declaration of Independence. Another topic of the paper will be the Great Compromise and how the representation of states in Congress was determined. Finally, the paper will view the treatment of slaves for the purpose of representation and the effects thereof.

The Articles of Confederation is the first "constitution" for the United States. In lesson, it goes into more detail about how 13 thirteen single colonies became one to make decisions. The United States was the first nation in the history of the world to be created by colonial people fighting against their mother country for freedom. The United States government at the time was similar to England's. The people whom lived in America wanted a democratic republic, just without all the kings and queens. This type of government has never been seen before, thus America will be creating its own version and testing it out. The Articles that they had previously created had some issues. One issue is who owned the land in the west? Better yet, how were

For as long as I have been alive the US Constitution has been known as the supreme law of the United States of America, bestowing upon us the national government of America. This law provided us with many different rights, some which are basic human rights, such as slavery being illegal. These rights affected our future ways of living, such as black people having the ability to have a life other than being a slave. However, there was a form of government before the US Constitution known as the Articles of Confederation. However according to the website History (2009), the Articles of Confederation only lasted for about 8 years, while according to the website Constitution Center (2017) the US constitution has been in act for 230 years and counting.

The Great Law of peace is the oral constitution whereby the Haudenosaunee confederation was bound together. The haudenosaunee confederation influence can be seen in the similarities of ideas found within the Constitution of the United States. The Great law representatives are the chiefs, Clan mothers, faithkeepers, and Pine tree Chiefs. The founding fathers were influenced by the Great Law, it questions the basic tenets of Federal-Indian law and policy. In acknowledging that the Haudenosaunee had a complex centralized government, the Great Law of Peace, that was emulated by the founding fathers and existed before the first Europeans arrived, makes the U.S. judicial framework concerning Indians and federal-Indian policy.

A group of British colonies systematically broke away from Great Britain’s political and constitutional system by declaring their own independence in 1776. What started from the Revolutionary War, kicked into gear when colonists tried to boycott the Stamp Act, which was, in their terms, another taxation tyranny. The parliament, unwilling to negotiate, forced its army against the rebels. As the resistance to the British grew, delegates of Congress formed a small committee to propose a new form of government that would help build a stronger nation and ensure the safety and success of its people. Benjamin Franklin, a delegate to the Congress, took forth to draft the first form of the Article of Confederation of the United States with the help of the first 13 colonies. It proposed a system that protects its people from a strong central government along with a loose confederation of sovereign states. The Article of Confederation cultivated over several years with three major contributors; the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan and Connecticut’s Great Compromise, before it set the foundation for its movement.

In this lesson, the united States learn how to work as an intendent nations. In 1777, the Continental congress has made the Articles of Confederation, it was the first constitution for the United States. The Articles of Confederation was like a friendship bond between the 13 states. The 13 states bond wasn’t as strong as you thought. The continental congress meet every year to use the Articles as the key to keep the peace between the 13 states. The people in the United States wanted a democratic republic, but they didn’t want a king or queen. They wanted their government to be single and a unified democracy. I didn’t know the Greek had a government similar to us. The Greek had a city state democracies and the ancient Roman republic. The first

The Articles of Confederation significantly challenged the western expansion, foreign relations, and debt, as well as failed some needs of the new country (Schultz, 2009). Many Americans continued to pursue land in the west relentlessly. They slowly began populating areas that had charters in the west; thus, resulting in a jealousy and seemingly creating a competition for states with no claims to the western land. The Articles prevented the federal government from forcing states to cede their land to them, despite the potential benefits it may have provided for the new nation. Moreover, Congress established the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which formed territorial governments in the Great Lakes region and laid out a plan for future western development. The Ordinance created laws recognizing then a territory could elect a legislature and have representation in Congress, as well as when it could become an official state with

Today marks an important day for all Canadians. British Canada has finally been united by the "Fathers of Confederation" and is now officially known as Canada. After almost a century, it is still hard to believe that Canada was once merely called the “British Colonies.” United, Canada has a sense of identification and much more vigor.

Switzerland is not a member in the EU, but it closely partners with them (cia.gov). The country's economy is reliant on its European neighborhoods for raw materials and the purchase of half of its exports (cia.gov). Thus, our business must develop relationships with the EU and Switzerland's neighborhoods.
