It lead to the rise of the Roman Catholic Church. It's influence and power still controls governments world wide.
B: A character wants something but can’t get it
The reason why it takes a long time to ratify the Articles of Confederation is that U.S. just declared independent from Britain, in other words, they just passed the Declaration of Independence, and in order to keep a country on track, they need some sorts of form of government, and they don't want to repeating the history, or have another tyrant, or a king, to rule over them again, which is a part of reason why they declared independent (the actual reasons is the king taxes us for no reason and we can't participate in the government), so they need all of the 13 states to approve, or sign, the Articles of Confederation, majority of them signed it, some of them having issues about the rights in the Articles of Confederation, so someone, I forgot his name, promised to includes all of the rights into the Articles of Confederation, which they can't do it instantly, which later known as the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments), so it takes longer to get the whole Articles of Confederation to be approved, or ratified.
Hope this help, my English is not that well so please excuse for it.
None are "better" it depends on the country
one can work for another country, but not for this country, each has its good things and bad things
for example: communism vs democracy
the government controls everything in communism, giving the citizens no chance to voice their own opinions, however, that means everybody is "equal" in a sense
in democracy, there are poor people, and rich people, the poor people want more money, the rich want to keep their titles of "rich", which may spark hatred and other things.
These are two examples. Again, none of them are better than another, it really depends on the people.
hope this helps
