Which of the following is a society’s first economic task?

As a New England farmer, write a letter to relatives in Europe describing your family’s daily life as subsistence farmers.

Genrish500 [490]

Dear family,

The past weeks have been quite rough. The corn stalks grow weakly, and the beans have hardly sprouted. We've slaughtered two pigs already, and haven't the funds to purchase more. On a better note, my son is now old enough to till the soil, so he can help on the farm. My wife and daughter have cleaned our wooden house these past days, and my daughter has made herself and brother a quilt. Do write soon.

Sincerely,
[name]

The Articles were written to govern a new country, the ______________________________________________. But the Articles were too

Talja [164]

Answer:

The Articles were written to govern a new country, the United

States of America. But the Articles were too weak to do that

effectively.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were written during the American Revolution. Ben Franklin wrote the first draft. It did not pass because the colonists thought it gave too much power to a central government. After a great deal of discussion and correction, the articles were rewritten and ratified in 1781. The ratified Articles stated that each state had one vote in a newly formed Congress.

According to the Articles, Congress COULD:

Conduct foreign affairs

Make treaties

Declare war

Maintain an army and a navy

Coin money

Establish post offices

According to the Articles, Congress COULD NOT:

Could not elect a president of the central government.

Could not enforce laws. Congress could pass laws, but Congress could not force the states to obey those laws.

Could not raise money by collecting taxes, not from the people, and not from the states. Without taxation, it was nearly impossible to run a government.

It was soon obvious that the Articles were too weak to create a functioning central government. In 1787, the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia. Two of its strongest supporters were Ben Franklin and George Washington. In 1779, a new document went into effect. They called it the Constitution.

In mid-1863 the Union gained control of the entire length of Mississippi River. What strategic advantage did this give the Union

Shalnov [3]

Answer: Some historians believe that the Mississippi River's control was a key factor that decided the victor in the war.

Explanation:

Statistics say that as many as 26 battles were fought around that strategic place during the civil war and countless smaller conflicts. Control of the Mississippi River was one of the key factors in the Civil War. After the Union gained control of the Mississippi River, it gained a huge strategic advantage. In the first place, it divided the Confederation into two parts, and since the communication was flowing along that river, communication with the Confederation was disabled. With this move, the Union also economically weakened the Confederation since there was a huge flow of goods along the river to be disabled. Thus the Confederation was economically in disarray.
