a. Why did the Continental congress make federal government weak when it drew up articles of Confederation?

1 answer:

4 0

To summarize this, they were afraid. During that time, we had just managed to successfully leave the British government, and the whole reason we declared independence was because of an all-powerful king who controlled our lives through massive taxation, without listening to anything we said. We had developed a fear of a strong, central government like the British, so we did as much as we could to weaken our new government, even abolishing federal taxes, which meant no federal military or funding for anything like education, health, or safety at the federal level.<span />

kirill [66]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

In her small reading group, Mrs. Casey discussed new vocabulary words with the students. She explained that the new word dugout is used to describe a place in the hillside that was dug out by the pioneer family in the story and used for shelter. She asked students to draw a picture to represent the new vocabulary word dugout to help them remember the meaning. Which of the following students used divergent thinking to represent the word's meaning?

a. Maria drew a hole in the side of a hill with tall grass growing on top.

b. Julio drew a bear curled up in a dugout at the side of a rocky mountain.

c. Karmen drew a small opening in a hillside and put a door on it.

d. Stan drew a cave in the side of a hill with trees growing around it.

Answer:

b. Julio drew a bear curled up in a dugout at the side of a rocky mountain.

Explanation:

Every student's representation of the dugout was creative. They've all added detail they believe to be pertinent. Since the dugout served as shelter, Karmen put a door on it. She probably associates shelter to a home. However, Julio's thinking was the one that went the furthest. He is the student who used divergent thinking - a process in which many solutions are explored, generating different creative ideas. Divergent thinking is spontaneous and non-linear, being thus quite surprising. It flows freely in several possible directions, allowing for more possibilities than convergent thinking. That is why Julio was able to come up with a bear when the teacher didn't mention anything that even resembled it.
