why did George Washington call the congress under the articles of confederation "a shadow without a substance"

1 answer:

4 0

George Washington called the Congress under the Articles of Confederation a "shadow without substance" because under the Articles of Confederation the Congress was given very limited powers. The Articles of Confederation gave most of the power to states and did not give much power to the national government. Therefore although it created national bodies like Congress they were just a shadow because they had very limited powers and not much of an ability to institute any real policies.

Domestic policy can be compared to rules that apply to certain members of a club to members and non-members of a club only to me

Ahat [919]

Answer:

<h3>to members and non-members of a club.</h3>

Explanation:

Domestic policy is a public policy under which rules can be exercised to all the members, citizens as well as foreigners, living within a specific territory or jurisdiction.

Every member and non-members who live within a controlled territory must follow certain rules of that territory. Thus, domestic policy can be compared to rules that apply to both the members as well as non-members of a club. In other words, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

However, once a non-member leaves the territory of a specific club, he/she does not become subjected to any rules of that club.
