4 0

The Battle of Yorktown resulted in a British surrender by British Commander Charles Cornwallis. By surrending, the Continental Army, led by American General George Washington, won the Revolutionary War. Washington would not have won, however, had it not been for the French navy, who sent their ships to block Cornwallis' escape by sea. Washington blocked his escape by land, and so Cornwallis had no choice but to surrending.

Inessa05 [86]

<span>The most important difference was that the Articles of Confederation gave very little power to a central government while the Constitution created a strong central government.

Other major differences include:

Articles of Confederation:
- no Bill of Rights
- gov't has no power to collect tax
- to make amendment, vote of states had to be unanimous
- no president (executive branch)
- only one "house" in Congress (unicameral)
- states could coin there own $ (so there were multiple currencies)
- Congress had between 2 and 7 reps per state
- representatives in Congress were appointed by state legislature (no popular vote)

U.S. Constitution:
- Bill of Rights
- gov't can collect tax
- amendment needs 3/4 vote
- has an executive branch
- two houses in Congress (bicameral)
- only U.S. gov't can coin $ (one currency for nation)
- Congress has 2 senators per state and representatives depending on the size of the state's population
- senators appointed, but representatives elected through popular vote</span>
