While [opponents of the Constitution] admit that the government of the United States is destitute of energy, they contend agains

t conferring upon it those powers which are requisite to supply that energy. They seem still to aim at things repugnant and irreconcilable; at an augmentation of federal authority, without a diminution of State authority; at sovereignty in the Union, and complete independence in the members. . . . This [requires that] a full display of the principal defects of the Confederation [is] necessary, in order to show that the evils we experience do not proceed from minute or partial imperfections, but from fundamental errors in the structure of the building, which cannot be amended otherwise than by an alteration in the first principles and main pillars of the fabric. . . . [T]he United States has an indefinite discretion to [plead for] for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either, by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America. The consequence of this is, that though in theory their resolutions concerning those objects are laws, constitutionally binding on the members of the Union, yet in practice they are mere recommendations which the States observe or disregard at their option. Which of the following experiences most likely influenced the perspective conveyed in the passage?
A) The increased centralization of power in the national legislature under the Articles of Confederation.
B) The debt crisis of the 1780s which the national government was unable to address due to lack of authority.
C) The tension between states relying on commerce and those relying on agriculture.
D) Passage of the Stamp Act and other taxes during the revolutionary period.

The answer is B.

The Articles of Confederation was extremely weak due to its lack of federal power, it gave most of the authority to the states. This is discussed in the passage as it talks about how the federal/national government had no authority to raise money, etc. Thus, the answer is B, as the answer says the national government had a lack of authority to control the debt crisis.

Identify the united states and soviet aligned states of europe, and contrast their political and economic characteristics
LenKa [72]

After World War II and throughout the Cold War, Europe was divided into two spheres of influence. On the one hand, most of Western Europe was aligned with the capitalist ideology of the United States. On the other hand, central and eastern Europe were aligned with the Soviet Union. This means that the wanted to implement a communist government in their country.

These areas were very different in terms of political and economic characteristics. The capitalists countries believed in the free market, and they supported an economy that was self-regulating. They also encouraged trade with other countries and were, for the most part, democratic states.

The Soviet countries usually had authoritarian governments. Moreover, they supported the idea of a command economy in which everything was regulated by the state.
