Why was a weak national government created under the Articles of Confederation

1 answer:

8 0

The articles gave the government no separation of powers. The government was too weak, the Articles left much of the power to the states (if I remember correctly, states basically went by their own state constitution). Congress didn't have the power to tax. To change the Articles, it had to be decided unanimously by all states. Also, 9 out of the 13 states had to approve any major law before it was passed and Congress couldn't regulate commerce. There was no president to lead, no established court system, and every state had only one vote in congress. Basically, the articles created no separate executive department to carry out and enforce the acts of Congress and no national court system to interpret the meaning of laws.

The correct answer is bilateral (D).

<em>A bilateral system</em> means a government with two legislative houses.The federal government in the USA uses the bilateral system and so do all the states with the exception of Nebraska. The bicameral system in the U.S consists of: The House of Representatives and the Senate. Each house has different requirements to serve and each house has unique powers.

The correct answer is checks, balances (C).

<em>Checks and balances </em>are a tool used in a political system to decrease the risk of centralization of power. They ensure that no one person or department has an absolute control over decisions. Checks and balances create separation of powers. In the U. S. checks and balances are exercised through its three branches of government: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. Each branch has special abilities. The legislative branch makes the laws but the executive branch gives the veto power to the president to veto these laws if necessary. The judicial branch may deem certain laws unconstitutional thus making them void.
