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.

Slaves were considered property. Their owners wanted to restrict their freedom so they wouldn't be as likely to escape.
Answer:
Yes. The Founding Fathers made the right choice in basing their new government on the beliefs of John Locke rather than Thomas Hobbes.
God actually created all men and women equal and free. This should be the basis of collective existence in any organized society. An absolute monarch is not necessary in such an organized society. The progress made in the US would not have been possible if the monarchical English government was continued. The creation of the US even helped the English government to do a rethink. The Queen has less power now than before the creation of the United States.
Explanation:
The beliefs of John Locke (1632 - 1704) are that God created all men and women free by nature and they are equal in the eyes of their creator. He fought against the contrary belief that people are made by God to be subject to a monarch.
On the contrary, Thomas Hobbes (1588 - 1679) believed that an absolute monarchy was "the only true and correct form of government." Hobbes in his Leviathan work held that "human beings are, at their core, selfish creatures," and therefore, needed a strong government for collective security, which the individuals cannot secure for themselves.
They wrote a new constitution in 1917 after a 7 year revolution against the former government. the constitution made many changes and the first constitution that was given social rights, rights for healthcare, the right for a place to live and lastly the right to work in any occupation that you want. all these right were given to the people of mexico.

I'm assuming you have the same answer choices as everyone else did on this question, so your answer is C, in the home of a Maryland slave owner.
Hope this helps!
