Why did it take the states so long to ratify the Articles of Confederation

1 answer:

8 0

The reason why it takes a long time to ratify the Articles of Confederation is that U.S. just declared independent from Britain, in other words, they just passed the Declaration of Independence, and in order to keep a country on track, they need some sorts of form of government, and they don't want to repeating the history, or have another tyrant, or a king, to rule over them again, which is a part of reason why they declared independent (the actual reasons is the king taxes us for no reason and we can't participate in the government), so they need all of the 13 states to approve, or sign, the Articles of Confederation, majority of them signed it, some of them having issues about the rights in the Articles of Confederation, so someone, I forgot his name, promised to includes all of the rights into the Articles of Confederation, which they can't do it instantly, which later known as the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments), so it takes longer to get the whole Articles of Confederation to be approved, or ratified.

Hope this help, my English is not that well so please excuse for it.

Define "paranoia." How was the paranoia of the 20s expressed? How was it related to isolationism?

elixir [45]

Paranoia refers to a feeling that can exist in humans and which is heavily influenced by anxiety or by fear. People who suffer from this often feel themselves to be persecuted, or hated and threatened by everyone. These people might also believe in conspiracies, which can result in irrational fear.

During the 1920s, the country experienced a period of paranoia. The trauma of World War I was fresh in people's minds, and many were fearful of ever being threatened in such a way again. This led to a strong fear of the "other." This was expressed in practices such as increased racism (ex. the rise of the Ku Klux Klan) or political intolerance (ex. the Red Scare against communists). This was also expressed through isolationism, as many people believed that by keeping the country free of foreign influence, they would be less threatened by dangerous foreign forces, such as communism.
