Article VI, Clause 2 (National Supremacy Clause) – The Federal Government, in expressing any of the powers

After all a war had just ended and the new country was in debt. This article also established the idea of National Supremacy, where the Constitution, Federal Law, Supreme Court decisions, and any treaties entered into by the Government would be the supreme law of the land and that no state law could contradict it. The supremacy clause has been a factor even recently in the Supreme Court decision that same sex marriage was legal in all states regardless of what the state’s constitution said. The last part of Article Six was the oath of office, where all politician whether in the federal or state governments would be required to take an oath to uphold the Constitution before taking

independence of each state. The document guaranteed each state sovereignty and granted each state one vote in Congress. Under the Articles, Congress could not change taxes, regulate trade, or force states to fulfill their obligations. However, the Articles did allow Congress to declare war and peace, manage foreign relations, establish and command an army and navy, and issue and borrow money.

The individual states had quite a bit of power. It says how the states are in charge of supplying money to a national government treasury. (How much money you put in depends on how big or small your state is). The states had to agree upon taxes for paying for warfare as well, the national government hadn't just forced these ideas upon them. (Article VIII Section 15-18).

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

Articles I, II, and III of the Unites States Constitution outline the importance of dividing government into 3 branches, this system was designed by our forefathers to serve the people. With any division of power obstacles are bound to arise, usually when attempting to enact important legislation.

This paper will address these three aspects associated with the first three articles of the United States Constitution.

Second, Article 4 section 3 of the U.S. Constitution states"No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein,

The Articles of Confederation was one of the first official documents of the United States. The purpose of this article was to create a confederation of states whereby each state retained its sovereignty, freedom, and independence. Every state was as independent as possible with the Federal government only responsible for the common defense, security of liberties, and the general welfare. There were several problems that soon became obvious with time, as the Articles took effect. The Articles contained more weaknesses than strengths which let the authority to get rid of them and create a new document.

In chapter 3, lets go over question number three. Question number three says which type of power was given to the state under the Constitution? The answer is c, the reserved power. According to the book, the U.S. Constitution addresses the lawful authority of the national government. (Paterson, 61). The states that are left will have a reserve powers. The reserve power is actually not part of the main body of the document. It's the 10th Amendment, and put simply, it says whatever is not explicitly stated as a responsibility of the federal government, is under control of the states.

The 10th Amendment said, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States.” This amendment first allowed the

In Article II, states were granted sovereignty, freedom, and independence. This means that the Articles of Confederation didn’t have much strength to unite and keep the states as one nation. In Article V, each state was to be represented by more than two and less than seven delegates. Even though this did allow the voice of every single state to be heard, it did not achieve equal representation, which was problematic when attempting to achieve democracy in a nation. Article IX stated that no president was allowed to serve more than three terms, with each term being one year. Because every

Under the Articles of Confederation, the state governments were stronger than the federal government as we had a weak central government, therefore the states were sovereign under the Articles of Confederation. However, with the Constitution, power of the government has been divided with federalism. Under the Constitution states share power with the federal government, and have limited power. Therefore under the Constitution states are not

Edward Marshall Boehm, a farmer, veterinarian, and nature lover living near New York City was convinced by his wife and friends to translate some of his clay animal sculptures into pieces for possible sale to the gift and art markets. So E. M. B. Inc was founded. Boehm recognized that porcelain was the best medium for portraying his creations because of its translucent beauty, permanence, and fidelity of colour as well as form. But the finest of the porcelains, hard paste porcelain, was largely a secret art about which little technical literature existed. Boehm studied this art relentlessly, absorbing whatever knowledge art books, museums, and the few U.S. ceramic factories offered. Then after months of experimentation
