<span>To divide we the people to weaken us, set us against each other with blame games and propaganda. Party loyalty blinders keep us from watching too closely what our own party representatives are doing against our own interests.
Like professional wrestlers they appear to be bitter rivals in public but are the best of friends behind closed doors. They have led us to think that only someone from their parties can win an election. If we vote for a third party candidate we have "thrown our vote away" on someone who stands no chance of winning and let that "evil other party" candidate win. We feel compelled to vote for the "lesser" of the two evils being offered.
Consider this: Both parties of the Senate said that the TARP bill lacked oversight to protect the taxpayer's money (concerning the original 3 page one passed by the House of Representatives). They claimed they were going to add protection and oversight to it. Then behind closed doors they added 137 pages of earmark spending and NO oversight or protection. Bush signed it and they closed the 110 Session of Congress knowing that they had an automatic pay raise in place. Both parties were involved so no evil other party blame games could be played.
Instead they faked outrage when the AIG bonus news came out and blamed the Management for not following rules which they had failed to put into the TARP bill in the first place. Watch this video

Answer:
The Articles of Confederation was an agreement within the 13 states in accepting the us as confederation of sovereign states and created it's 1st constitution. The articles allowed the Continental Congress to run the revolutionary war, perform diplomacy within Europe, print money, and find out territorial issues.
However, the articles created a weak government and one house legislature congress wasn't allowed to tax and do any type or foreign trade. It left the govt to be short in money and therefore the people were allowed to manage their own trade.
In 1787, the state delegates called to revise the articles of confederation, called the Constitutional Convention. Congress of Confederation was the new governing body.
In 1775 colonies started calling themselves states and creating new constitutions. They wanted bicameral state legislatures, strong executive leaders, less restriction on the people, and continuance of established religions by the state. Also people wanted less restricted voting or holding office requirements.
With the assistance of Hamilton et al. the constitution was created. The constitution tried to limit the power of the govt and distribute it into the checks and balances. People didn't want to simply accept the constitution because the bill of rights limited the government's power, provide a constitutional reassurance the people would keep their rights and liberty.
