HELP HELP 1. Describe the failings of the Articles of Confederation and how the
Constitution addresses those failings. Be sure to fully explain your answers.

Answer:

On November 17, 1777, Congress submitted the Articles to the states for immediate consideration. Two days earlier, the Second Continental Congress approved the document, after a year of debates. The British capture of Philadelphia also forced the issue.

1. The states didn’t act immediately. It took until February 1779 for 12 states to approve the document. Maryland held out until March 1781, after it settled a land argument with Virginia.

2. The central government was designed to be very, very weak. The Articles established “the United States of America” as a perpetual union formed to defend the states as a group, but it provided few central powers beyond that. But it didn’t have an executive official or judicial branch.

3. The Articles Congress only had one chamber and each state had one vote. This reinforced the power of the states to operate independently from the central government, even when that wasn’t in the nation’s best interests.

4. Congress needed 9 of 13 states to pass any laws. Requiring this high super-majority made it very difficult to pass any legislation that would affect all 13 states.

5. The document was practically impossible to amend. The Articles required unanimous consent to any amendment, so all 13 states would need to agree on a change. Given the rivalries between the states, that rule made the Articles impossible to adapt after the war ended with Britain in 1783.

6. The central government couldn’t collect taxes to fund its operations. The Confederation relied on the voluntary efforts of the states to send tax money to the central government. Lacking funds, the central government couldn’t maintain an effective military or back its own paper currency.

7. States were able to conduct their own foreign policies. Technically, that role fell to the central government, but the Confederation government didn’t have the physical ability to enforce that power, since it lacked domestic and international powers and standing.

8. States had their own money systems. There wasn’t a common currency in the Confederation era. The central government and the states each had separate money, which made trade between the states, and other countries, extremely difficult.

9. The Confederation government couldn’t help settle Revolutionary War-era debts. The central government and the states owed huge debts to European countries and investors. Without the power to tax, and with no power to make trade between the states and other countries viable, the United States was in an economic mess by 1787.

10. Shays’ rebellion – the final straw. A tax protest by western Massachusetts farmers in 1786 and 1787 showed the central government couldn’t put down an internal rebellion. It had to rely on a state militia sponsored by private Boston business people. With no money, the central government couldn't act to protect the "perpetual union."

These events alarmed Founders like George Washington, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton to the point where delegates from five states met at Annapolis, Maryland in September 1786 to discuss changing the Articles of Confederation.

The group included Madison, Hamilton and John Dickinson, and it recommended that a meeting of all 13 states be held the following May in Philadelphia. The Confederation Congress agreed and the Constitutional Convention of 1787 effectively ended the era of the Articles of Confederation.

In this lesson you learned about time lines and how Thematic Time Lines show events pertaining to a particular historical theme. You will create a time line of important events related to a single theme from prehistory to A.D. 1600. ( You will have three lessons in which to complete): 1: Themes)--> For this assignment you will create a thematic time line of five events. To begin with, however, you will first decide on two possible themes for the time line. You will choose one of these themes. Choose two themes from the list below that you would consider for your Thematic Time Line: • Politics, The Miltary, and Economics. • Religion, Philosophy, and Learning. • Science, Technology, and Innovations. • Literature, Visual Arts, Theater, and Music. To give you some practice in associating events with themes, choose the event that would be included on a time line for each of the following themes: ---> I posted a picture of the practice sheet. ( 2: Events ---> Choose five events for each of the two themes you chose in Step 1 ( for a total of ten events). Your final time line will cover only five events for one theme. The events must have occurred within the period under study ( Prehistory to A.D. 1600). You may wonder how you can represent such a long time span, from prehistory to A.D. 1600, with only five events. It won't be easy. You must choose events that you believe are major milestones of this period; events that had a major impact on history. Later in the assignment, you will defend your choices and explain why you included each event on your time line. ( To give you some practice choosing events, choose the one event in each group below that you believe is the most important; the one event that had the biggest effect on history. Below, you will defend your choice by explaining why you think it was the most important. (Group A--> •Second century B.C: Romans build aqueducts to supply water to cities. •A.D. Second century: Pulp papermaking process is invented in China. • Seventh century: Muslim architects build mosques with domes. ( Group B--> • c. Second century B.C: Zhang Qian helps establish the Silk Road. •c. A.D. 1080: Venice and Byzantium sign a treaty governing commerce. • 1158: Munich, Germany, becomes center of salt trade in Europe). Now it's time to choose five events for each of the two themes you chose. First you'll need to review the major events from prehistory to A.D. 1600. A convenient way to do this would be to look at the time lines for Chapters 1 through 17 that appear at the beginning of each chapter. As you review this time period, write down events that are good candidates for thematic time lines related to the themes you chose. Remember that you are only interested in events that are related to these two themes. Try to compile a list of about 10 events for each theme. Don't write long entries; just jot down key ideas. Now choose the five most important events for each theme. Write these events in the corresponding section of the Graded assignment sheet. Include a time for each event ( such as 509 B.C., A.D. second century, 1066, and so on). (Part 3. Select a Theme: Select one of the two themes you chose earlier. You will create a thematic time line based on this theme. Write this theme in the corresponding section. ( Part 4: --> Rationale/Defense of Entries: You now have a theme and five events for a Thematic time line covering prehistory to A.D. 1600. You need to defend your choices for the events by explaining why you included each one. For each event, be as specific as possible as you answer the following questions: 1) Why is this event important?, 2) What impact did this event have on society?, 3) How is the world different because of this event?, 4) Why is this event more significant than most other events within the theme? For each event you selected in groups A and B above, write a short paragraph that defends your choice and provides a rationale for why you think it is the most important of the three. Group A: and Group B: Write a short paragraph for each event that explains why you included the event on your time line. ( Part 5:--> Create a thematic time line for the theme you chose that includes, at a minimum, the five events you selected for that theme. Follow these guidelines as you develop the time line. 1) Your time line can include up to ten events.( Tbe time line must included at a minimum five events. 2) Each entry on the time line should include a date( year or century), a description of the event, and an image. The image can be something you illustrate or find on the internet. 3) Include a title for the time line that incorporates the time line's theme. [ Will Mark Brainliest ]. Need Help ASAP Please. ​

How did the popular products of the 1920s change the way people lived?

“I was immediately handled and tossed up to see if I
were sound, by some of the crew, and I was now
persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits,
and that they were going to kill me. Their complexions,
too, differing so much from ours, their long hair, and the
language they spoke . . . united to confirm me in this
belief. . . . The closeness of the place and the heat of the
climate, added to the number in the ship, which was so
crowded that each had scarcely room to turn himself,
almost suffocated us.”
