Hi there!

The correct answer is D) to prevent abuse of power and tyranny by the central government. Letter D is the correct choice because it explains why the central government was given very little power - the people feared the government would abuse the power they had.

Hope this helps!! :)

The Second Continental Congress established a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation to prevent abuse of power and tyranny by the central government. Their past experiences with the British monarch and Parliament influenced their decision to make a weak central government.

2. What was an effect of the building of the Berlin Wall? (1 point)
MariettaO [177]
2. The correct answer is C. "East Berliners could no longer visit West Berliners."

The Berlin Wall split up Berlin into two distinct parts with two very different societies. East Berlin became controlled by the Soviet Union while West Berlin was controlled by the US and other members of the allied forces from World War II. Citizens were not allowed to access the other side. This split up families, caused people to lose their jobs, and resulted in violence/death (as many tried to escape to West Berlin but were killed by armed guards).

3. The correct answer is B. "He did not want to lose the support of Southern Democrats."

Kennedy feared that losing this huge block of voters would make it more difficult to pass laws in Congress and would make re-election efforts much more difficult as well.

4. The answer is B. "sex."

Kennedy signed this law into place in 1963 as part of his "New Frontier" policy. This was aimed at closing the gap between the wages of men and women in the United States.

The Articles of Confederation had a Weak ___________ government
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{Central}}

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the newly formed country of the USA's government set. It was mainly written by John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware. It placed 13 laws that controlled state and country governments.

However, these laws put main power on the state governments while giving the central government almost none. This was due to the fact that they had just gone through a revolution against Britain, and they were controlled by a monarchy. The Americans were afraid that with a strong central government, it would become a monarchy just like Britain. They wanted to avoid this due to the taxes that a monarchy placed on them.

This led to a weak central government which caused all the states to act as independent countries. It also lead to different currencies in each state, which was a problem for farmers, as they couldn't pay their debts from money earned in the war.

Farmers were sometimes put in prison for not paying their debts, and they lost their farms. This caused Shays Rebellion, which called for a new system where the central government had more power.

This system was revised into the Constitution we have today.

Hope this helped!
