<u>The ratification Americans debate before the U.S. Constitution:</u>

The ratification of the constitution of the United States took place in the year 1787 and this was not favoured by the anti federalists and they were totally against it.

The ratification of the constitution of the United States according to them would lead to

1) threat to the liberties of the people because there was too much centralisation of power with the government.

2) the people who framed the constitution had a debate on the issue of slavery and wanted each slave to be counted as one whole person and the slave states should have power to vote.

Explain why the Articles of Confederation proved too weak to meet the needs of the 13 new states. Describe at least two examples
Elodia [21]

The Articles of Confederation were far too weak to meet the needs of the newly created United States because of the massive decentralization the Articles contained.

They did not give the government any right to tax the people, and had to ask the states for taxes, and the states were not keen to pay them unless it benefited them. Often found were states not contributing to the pay of the Continental Army because it was not in their territory and defending them. This was also the reason Valley Forge was a disastrous winter for the Continental Army.

The Constitution fixed this by mandating budgets and making sure the states did in fact pay dues to the Gov't, later amended with (the supposed temporary) Federal income tax, starting after The Great War.

The other big failure is the lack of a requirement delegates be there, and the fact it requires every state to vote yes, an amendment to let the Confederation place import taxes to help pay the army was a washed failure because Rhode Island feared having their economy impacted horribly as they were so small they only had trade.

The New Constitution fixed this by making it so 3/4 of the states had to vote Aye to an amendment to the Constitution itself, and made the Federal Government itself handle passes legislation at it's own level with a majority rules, rather than all.

A four episode series from Extra History delve with a good amount of detail as to the Articles' other short comings, and what I elaborated on. Would strongly recommend a watch: https://youtu.be/C6rHSiN0vKk

Which statement BEST describes Rousseau’s view of the relationship between governments and the rights of the people?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

<h2>B) When governments are created with the consent of the people, the people are more likely to retain their natural rights.</h2>

Explanation:

Jean Jacques Rousseau is best known for his work A Conversation on the Arts and Sciences, which was published in the 18th century. The Social Contract contains the most famous words he ever wrote: "Men are born free, but they are chained everywhere." From this intriguing start, Rousseau goes on to explain the various ways in which civil society's chains thwart man's natural birthright to natural freedom.
