The two key provisions of the Platt Amendment required:

- The concession of Cuban territory for American military and naval bases.

- The permission to the Americans to intervene in the island to preserve order, life, property, and liberty.

The Cuban Constitutional Convention acceded to the demands, and the amendment started to regulate Cuban‐American relations until it was abolished in 1934.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The Platt Amendment, an amendment to a U.S. army support bill, set the terms under which the United States would stop its military invasion of Cuba (which had started in 1898 during the Spanish-American War) and "leave the government and power of the island of Cuba to its people." The Platt Amendment placed down eight requirements to which the Cuban Government had to agree before the withdrawal of U.S. forces and the shift of sovereignty would begin.

Galina-37 [17]

The Articles of Confederation was the first plan of government for the young United States. There were many flaws with this plan.

1. The Articles gave too much power to the states, and too little power to the national government. Because of this, many conflicts, such as the Shay's Rebellion arose. The national government did not have much power to prevent conflict between the states, and this basically caused chaos.

2. To make a change in the nation, all thirteen states had to agree. This, in itself, was extremely hard to do. Even today, only 2/3rd of Congress has to agree to ratify a bill. However, the Articles of Confederation did not give the central government enough power to levy taxes, or command a military.

Overall, the Articles of Confederation were weak. This eventually led to a Constitutional Convention, and the ratification of our US Constitution.
