The AOC (Articles of Confederation) really limited the power of Congress. They could not...
• Collect Taxes
• Conduct foreign policy
• Could not enforce laws
There were many other problems with the AOC as well. A huge one was that it was practically impossible to amend; all 13 states needed to unanimously agree on a change. Given the rivalry between the States, and the fact that Rhode Island hardly showed up for anything, it would be impossible to fix the AOC.
Congress also could not pay off the national debt. The US owed a whole lot of money after fighting the war. However, due to the fact that Congress couldn’t collect taxes, the government had to print more money which caused massive problems with the economy.

For decades prior to the Prohibition (i.e., the legal ban of alcoholic drinks) made possible by the Eighteen Amendment, different Christian churches and organizations had been objecting to the consumption of alcohol since they considered it as the source of most debauchery and moral decadence.

Every man had only one occupation and that was the soldier. They were a fierce and unmatched fighting force in Greece at the time but only on land. On sea Athens dominated with its superior navy with a ship design called the Trireme. It was a lot more powerful in battel than previous ships at the time.
Who really was Andrew Jackson? Most people know that he was a United States president and a war commander. However, he was much more than that. He was a self-made man that didn't come from money or power. He was a major slave owner. Also, he and his brothers were in poverty when they were younger. He was a lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee. Jackson made inadequate choices during his presidency. In my opinion, Andrew Jackson was a far bigger hero than a villain.<span>
