The Articles of Confederation was the first U.S. Constitution, ratified by the 13 original states of the U.S. in 1781. In overall, it was characterized for giving too much power to the states and establishing a government consisting only of a unicameral legislature with limited and clearly delineated powers. This lack of balance made it difficult to lead the nation properly, and some of its weaknesses constituted the following:

  1. <u>Congress could not levy taxes</u>, it could only collect money by selling lands or asking the states for funds, which had the option to deny.
  2. <u>Articles could only be changed by a unanimous vote.</u>
  3. <u>There was no federal court system</u> as we know it today, the Constitution did not establish a federal court system, instead, it gave Congress the power to establish courts, appoint courts for the trial of piracies and felonies committed on the high seas and for determining some cases.
  4. <u>Congress could not regulate trade</u> as this power was granted to the states only.
  5. <u>There was no national executive. </u>Back then, there was not even a President, the government consisted of a Congress only.
  6. <u>Nine states had to approve any new law in Congress</u> meaning that the Congress could not enact any type of legislation or make any change that was not outlined in the Constitution unless nine states approved it.

What is the effect of child labor on the US economy?
kodGreya [7K]

The main law regulating child labor in the United States is the Fair Labor Standards Act. For non-agricultural jobs, children under 14 may not be employed, children between 14 and 16 may be employed in allowed occupations during limited hours, and children between 16 and 18 may be employed for unlimited hours in non-hazardous occupations.[1] A number of exceptions to these rules exist, such as for employment by parents, newspaper delivery, and child actors.[1] The regulations for agricultural employment are generally less strict.

The economics of child work involves supply and demand relationships on at least three levels: the supply and demand of labor on the national (and international) level; the supply and demand of labor at the level of the firm or enterprise; the supply and demand for labor (and other functions) in the family. But a complete picture of the economics of child labor cannot be limited to simply determining supply and demand functions, because the political economy of child labor varies significantly from what a simple formal model might predict. Suppose a country could effectively outlaw child labor. Three consequences would follow: (1) the families (and the economy) would lose the income generated by their children; (2) the supply of labor would fall, driving up wages for adult workers; and (3) the opportunity cost of a child’s working time would shrink, making staying in school (assuming schools were available) much more attractive. In principle, a virtuous circle would follow: with more schooling, the children would get more skills and become more productive adults, raising wages and family welfare.20 To the extent that the demand for labor is elastic, however, the increase in wages implies that the total number of jobs would fall.  

The labor supply effects are the basic outline of the logic that underlies almost all nations’ laws against child labor, as well as the international minimum age standard set in ILO Convention 138 and much of the anti-child labor statements during the recent protests against the World Trade Organization, World Bank and International Monetary Fund. This model does describe in very simplified form the long-term history of child work in the economic development of developed economies. But in the short-term, the virtuous circle seldom occurs in real life as quickly as the simple, static model suggests. The reason for the model’s short-term failure is that child work results from a complex interweaving of need, tradition, culture, family dynamics and the availability of alternative activities for children.

History suggests that children tend to work less, and go to school more, as a result of several related economic and social trends. the political economy of a place plays at least as big a part as per capita income in determining the level of child labor there.
