Answer:
they were keeping secrets from the people
Explanation:
The first line contains alliteration. Alliteration is when consecutive words begin with same sounds. In this case, you have Having Harrowed H.e.ll, which all start with the H sound. It refers to spoken sounds, not just letters, as some letters or letter clusters might be pronounced differently, so it has to begin with same sounds.
The second line contains a.s.sonance. A.s.sonance is a figure of speech used in poetry in which words contain the same vowel or dipht.hong in numerous words in consecutive order. In the second line, you have Light, Smiles, Drives, which all contain the dipht.hong /ai/ which repeats to give of a joyful sound when spoken
The third line contains consonance. It is basically the opposite of a.ssonance, instead of vowels and dipht.hongs, you have consonants that repeat in sequence over numerous words. In the third line, you have Mortal To Immortalize, where you have the strong T sound that is used in consecutive words.
The Articles of Confederation withheld many powers of governance from the federal government, causing it to be simply too weak. For example, the federal government could not collect taxes, which is necessary to governance. The federal government could not properly enforce laws, since any states could decide to ignore a law it didn't like. It didn't even have judicial power as the Courts weren't invented under the Articles of Confederation.
It created a federal government that was too weak to even govern.
Hope that helped.
