Why did the framers decide only 9 of 13 states would need to ratify the constitution, rather than 13 of 13 needed for the articl

es of confederation?

Because they believed in majority rule. They felt that the majority of the people’s approval was enough.

Plus, it was much easier for all 13 former colonies to accept the Articles of Confederation than the Constitution because it basically just handed the states governmental power and told them to cooperate with all of the other states. The Constitution, however, sought to take away some of the powers they had received such as the ability to regulate their own taxes. Understandably, it would be much more difficult to get a unanimous vote for for the Constitution due to this so the 9/13 rule seemed more reasonable.

(even though the Constitution ultimately ended up getting ratified unanimously)

Which is NOT a God-given right? Liberty pursuit of happiness life wealth liberty pursuit of happiness life wealth
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Wealth

Explanation:

Among the listed option in this question which is not a God-given right is "Wealth."

This is evident in some of the philosophical works during the middle ages till the time when the American colonies and the French Revolution were occurring.

For example, in the Declaration of Independence, it was noted that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

And the fact that not everybody can get wealth, while everybody has inherent access to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Hence, the correct answer is "WEALTH."

How successful was the youth involvement in Vietnam ?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Well this was i guess you could say part of the US involvement in the cold war. They supported south Vietnam because they didn't want communism from china and Russia spreading their. So when the two together planned an invasion of south Vietnam they announced their involvement to help try and stop it. Also they got involved because they threatened that since they were an ally of ours any attempt to gain land would be met with hostile reinforcement of the area. They were losing heavy casualties and american involvement in the war was not widely supported by the public. Fighting in Vietnam was life and death. Many attacks were deadly as heavy losses on both sides tolled up. We withdrew because most of american citizens hated the war and didn't support it. So the president facing battles on the home front and facing battles in Vietnam decided to withdraw to appease the public. The effects of the withdrawal were that many young soldiers got to see their families again. Many families also were happy as with less money being funneled into the war many new buildings and public services were built. A bad part of the war was after the US left the south was invaded and they ended up with a communist government. Another effect was that the Us pride was hurt and some countries viewed us as weak.

How did the us and russia differ in their plans for germany?
Ymorist [56]
If you're referring to the post WW2 period, then it was fairly simple, the United States wanted to create a democratic liberal country that would share their political goals in Europe, while the Soviets wanted to make it into a Communist state that would share their goals and ideals in Europe. Each would have their own central European country to control the remainder of Europe.
