<span>Peter was concerned that Russia was falling behind other European countries in terms of economics, the sciences, art & literature as well as trade and manufacturing (this has been a constant theme throughout Russian history).
Peter wanted to create a new city, built in the Western, European style to reflect Russia's new, Western looking thinking. It, St Petersburg, was designed to be an architectural marvel, a glittering city on the Baltic to rival Paris or Venice or Vienna. The problem with the previous capital, Moscow, was that it was, in Peter's mind, a provincial, Eastern looking city, full of eastern minded people - the Boyars - and dominated by the Orthodox Church. He stipulated what clothes people could wear - and how they could cut their hair & beards, again adopting Western, rather than Easyern styles. St Petersburg was build to attract architects, artists, writers, as well as to create the perfect place for manufacturing new products - it had a port with easy access to Helsinki, the Hansa ports of Germany, Stockholm, Copenhagen as well as the Dutch cities and, the heart of World trade - London. The city was also sited to act as a deterrent to Swedish designs on the Southern Baltic coast - Russian territory.
The Boyars were noble families, traditionally associated with Moscow, who had a great deal of autonomy and influence over state affairs. Many Tsars had had difficulties controlling them. </span>
The Articles of Confederation

Hi. You have not shown the document the question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
The only way to answer this question is to read the document. As this document is not available, this reading must be done by you. During this reading, you will need to identify the type of language used to emphasize moral thoughts about the freedom of slaves.
Moral thoughts on this subject generally reported that slaves were human beings just like any white citizen and therefore it was not right to enslave them. In addition, documents usually use formal and cultured language, with flowery words, as they intend to establish seriousness in the subject presented, showing that it is important that this subject is formally considered.
<span>Federal government is the name for this system of government. Under this system, states get to retain their individual rights and maintain their own governments, but some duties, like currency and defense, are delegated to the federal government, which is elected by all the states working together. The Articles of Confederation was the first document establishing a federal government, in 1781, but the federal government created by that document was far too weak. In 1789, a new, stronger federal government was created by the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.</span>
