WHAT IF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION FAILED , AND THE UNITED STATES CONTINUED TO USE THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION

History

Answer:

The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777, but the states did not ratify them until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. Once peace removed the rationale of wartime necessity the weaknesses of the 1777 Articles of Confederation became increasingly apparent. Divisions among the states and even local rebellions threatened to destroy the fruits of the Revolution. Nationalists, led by James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Wilson, almost immediately began working toward strengthening the federal government. They turned a series of regional commercial conferences into a national constitutional convention at Philadelphia in 1787.

“An opinion begins to prevail that a general convention for revising the articles of Confederation would be expedient.”

John Jay to George Washington, March 16, 1786

What was the direct outcome of the 1948 Arab-lsraeli war?​
Zanzabum

The direct outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war was in favor of Israel where not only did Israel could expand her territories but the Jews also fended off the invading Arabs although most of the residents of Palestine had to flee at first.

Explanation:

The Arabs wanted to take complete control and were against any sort of Jewish settlements, especially in Palestine.

After the Jewish buses were ambushed, the war erupted quickly and became a civil war where both the Arabs and Jews fought against each other.

After Israel was declared independent, more lands were added which led to its expansion and the signing of the armistice by the Arabs for peace to reign in the area once again.
