Why did the Second Continental Congress establish a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation?

Social Studies
2 answers:
xxMikexx [17]3 years ago
8 0

There was a number of reasons. The articles of confederation didn't enable the central government to collect taxes. There was no National court to solve international conflicts. And many states took advantage of a missing strong leading figure in the form of a president. The Articles of Confederation was week due to giving too much power to the central government.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The best response of the options provided is Option B: Conflict theory.

Explanation:

The best choice of the options provided is conflict theory because conflict theorists take a critical stance toward existing social arrangements like the way that illness is defined. This can affect the access that people without power have to services or to livelihood, if the way that the powerful define illness works to their disadvantage in some way. An example would be denying someone disability status because their condition is not recognized as an illness that can affect productivity. This could make it so the person who is less powerful has to continue working despite their illness or disability and it may deny them benefits.

Why is America's knowledge of the constitution so poor?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Many Americans are poorly informed about basic constitutional provisions, according to a new national survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center.

The annual Annenberg Constitution Day Civics Survey finds that:

More than half of Americans (53 percent) incorrectly think it is accurate to say that immigrants who are here illegally do not have any rights under the U.S. Constitution;

More than a third of those surveyed (37 percent) can’t name any of the rights guaranteed under the First Amendment;

Only a quarter of Americans (26 percent) can name all three branches of government.

“Protecting the rights guaranteed by the Constitution presupposes that we know what they are. The fact that many don’t is worrisome,” said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania. “These results emphasize the need for high-quality civics education in the schools and for press reporting that underscores the existence of constitutional protections.”

Illegal immigration and constitutional rights

The APPC survey, conducted Aug. 9-13 among 1,013 adults in the United States, finds that 53 percent think that people who are here illegally do not have any rights under the Constitution. That incorrect belief is especially strong among self-identified political conservatives – 67 percent think it is accurate, compared with 48 percent of moderates and 46 percent of liberals.

[The civics survey drew attention from national and local media and many sides of the political spectrum. Read about the coverage here.]

In fact, immigrants who are in the United States illegally share some constitutional protections with U.S. citizens. More than a century ago, in Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886), a case involving a Chinese immigrant, the Supreme Court ruled that non-citizens were entitled to due process rights under the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. Other cases have expanded upon those rights.* (For more on Yick Wo, see this video on Annenberg Classroom’s website.)

Most respondents, though not all, know that under the Constitution, U.S. citizens who are atheists or Muslim have the same rights as all other citizens. Seventy-nine percent of respondents know it is accurate to say that U.S. citizens who are atheists have the same rights as other citizens, and 76 percent know it is accurate to say that citizens who are Muslim have the same rights as other citizens.

What does the First Amendment say?

Nearly half of those surveyed (48 percent) say that freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the First Amendment. But, unprompted, 37 percent could not name any First Amendment rights. And far fewer people could name the other First Amendment rights: 15 percent of respondents say freedom of religion; 14 percent say freedom of the press; 10 percent say the right of assembly; and only 3 percent say the right to petition the government.

The First Amendment reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Contrary to the First Amendment, 39 percent of Americans support allowing Congress to stop the news media from reporting on any issue of national security without government approval. That was essentially unchanged from last year. But the survey, which followed a year of attacks on the news media, found less opposition to prior restraint (49 percent) than in 2016 (55 percent).

Many don’t know the branches of government

Only 26 percent of respondents can name the three branches of government (executive, judicial, and legislative), the same result as last year. In the presence of controls, people who identified themselves as conservatives were significantly more likely to name all three branches correctly than liberals and moderates. The 26 percent total was down significantly from APPC’s first survey on this question, in 2011, when 38 percent could name all three.

In the current survey, 33 percent could not name any of the three branches, the same as in 2011.

The phone survey, conducted for APPC by the research firm SSRS, has a margin of error of ±3.7 percent. For more on t

True or False? It is unrealistic to expect to succeed at a randomized controlled trial that requires people to alter their behav
adell [148]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is not realistic because experiments with people are very diverse and complex. All people are different and adjust in one way or another in their way of being and in the changes. Time may not change anything when a person is not intending to change their actions or thoughts. The analysis is complicated and with the possibility of not getting the expected results.
