Prior to the constitutional convention, what two models of intergovernmental relations predominated throughout the world?

History

N76 [4]3 years ago

Governments typically had been either unitary or confederated.  Or another way to say that is that they either focused on centralized power (in someone like a king) or particularized power -- the power in the parts of a kingdom rather than at the center.

So, for instance, in France (prior to its Revolution), all the power in the kingdom centered in the hands of the king.  For 175 years, they didn't even have a meeting of the Estates General which was their version of a representative body.  And the power of nobles on their lands was reduced while the king's power grew.

Meanwhile, in the German territories, there was a loose confederation called the Holy Roman Empire.  One of the kings or princes held the title of "emperor," but he really had no imperial power.  The confederated German states retained control over their own kingdoms or territories.

The American experiment mixed something of the best of both approaches. There would be strong central power in the federal government, but putting checks and balances on that power by retaining certain aspects of control in the hands of the states within the union.

1. Imagine you write
Lorico [155]

Answer:

1.) The Boston Massacre was a confrontation on March 5, 1770, in which British soldiers shot and killed several people while being harassed by a mob in Boston. The event was heavily publicized by leading Patriots such as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams.

2.) The phrase comes from the opening stanza of Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Concord Hymn" (1837) and refers to the first shot of the American Revolution at the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, where the first British soldiers fell in the battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

3.) If the patriots had lost the Revolutionary war, the Americans would still be under British control and have to deal with the treatment they dealt with before such as paying taxes from over seas and having to house soldiers in their homes. You could also say that if they lost the war, they would probably be horribly punished for their actions in trying to separate from Great Britain. I don't know if treason is the correct word, but they could maybe see it as that.

Hope this helps!
