with a vast amount of debt as a result of the war. The Articles of Confederation, the first government to be set up in the United States in 1781, created a weak central government. Due to the of the Articles of Confederation, they were unable to address the problem the young nation was facing. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation caused the document to be revised leading to a new form of government. The primary weakness of the Articles of Confederation was its overall weakness, and the subsequent

Created on November 1777, the Articles of Confederation was America’s first constitution. A constitution is a written list of laws and plans for government. There were many strengths and weaknesses of the articles. A primary strength was that the states could control trade with other countries. Instead of going through Britain, the middle man was cut out and the states could trade with foreign countries directly. Another strength was that unlike in the past, congress could now maintain armed forces

When it was time for the ratification of the new Constitution, there were struggles faced by the state conventions of delegates elected by the people of each state and carried out 13 separate campaigns. It divided into two separate groups; Federalists and Antifederalists. The Federalists were those who supported the constitution proposed at the American Constitutional Convention of 1787 and preferred a strong national government. The Antifederalists, on the other hand, were those who favored strong

James Madison and Thomas Jefferson believed that the constitution should be read narrowly. Alexander Hamilton believed that the constitution should be read broadly. These views are very clear when it came to the creation of the national bank. Madison and Jefferson believed that it would be unconstitutional to create a national bank because there is nothing listed in the constitution allowing congress to do so. Alexander Hamilton's argument is that there is nothing listed in the constitution saying

some of the delegates that came there already had the full intention of creating a new constitution, “James Madison had come to Philadelphia battle-ready, determined to steer the convention away from the limited task of amending and correcting the Articles of Confederation and toward designing an entirely new constitution” (page 31). To include, one of the many risks of creating a new constitution was the potential of more riots and even states going into war with each other which would cause delegates

"Our founding fathers faced with perils that we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of the law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations." This quote was used by President Obama during his first inaugural address and its meaning is significant to the history of the United States especially the development of the country. It is easier to understand the significance of the quote by breaking down the quote and evaluating each part separately. The quote

executive articles. The constitution contains a preamble as well as sixteen articles that also have subsections to them. To list a few of these articles would be the Bill of Rights, the Powers of Government, the Legislative Department, Executive Department, and the Judicial Department.

The constitution helps guard against tyranny by not letting

stronger central government. I know that many of us are concerned that a strong central government would take away peoples freedom and the states’ powers, but right now our country looks weak to other nations and our security may be endangered. The Articles of Confederation do not give our country the strength and unity it needs to compete with other countries around the world. Right now we are a loose association of states fighting amongst ourselves, rather than a firm union standing against the world

I was on my third hour of reading about Federalism before I realized it is something that is so simple, but the intricate world we live in complicates it. Federalism is simply two or more levels of government share power (Wattenberg 2014, 70). It is something that can only change in the United States when one of the levels is eliminated not increased or diminished. Federal voting statues are the perfect example of contributing to the complexities and confusions about federalism. The federal government
