Answer: The Bill of Rights is the name given to the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution.

The Bill of Rights consists of guarantees of civil liberties and checks on state power; it was added in order to convince states to ratify the Constitution.

Explanation: By the time the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, it had become clear to many American leaders that a more powerful federal government was necessary in order to effectively deal with the challenges facing the young nation.  

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government had neither the power to raise taxes nor the authority to regulate interstate commerce. Additionally, there was no established mechanism through which states could adjudicate conflicts. Many of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention understood that the Articles of Confederation would need to be supplanted entirely, not merely revised.  

To this end, the delegates spent months debating and shaping the scope and contours of a new and more powerful federal government.

sattari [20]

Answer:

1. High Tariff Taxes.

2. Disputed Claims on the Continent.

3. Social Engineering Gone Wrong.

4. Religious Tensions and Resentment of Canada.

Reasons for South against Union:

1. Centralization v.s. States Rights.

2. Slavery.

3. Cultural Differences.

<em>4. Religion.</em>

Explanation:

<em>There are many alikes and differences between the two revolutions. The most common cause was "tension" between the two sides that fought for contrasting yet similar reasons. Colonists were trying to escape the rules from England, such as the South trying to pry itself from the North's laws. All the goals that the colonists were trying to acheive were for all their representation, not discluding any peers. The South however were using their objectives to intentionally continue the crimes  and free labor against african americans, not for their own freedom. </em>
