Some people didn't really have enough money for this and another reason is because they tested them and if they even tried to vote they would fail because they didn't know how to write.

Shays rebellion encouraged national leaders to
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Create a stronger federal government and discard the articles of confederation. Under the articles of confederation, the federal government didn't have the power to control taxes. Because of this, the state governments made their taxes too high, which made farmers have a very large debt. The federal government couldn't do anything about these high taxes. Daniel shay led a group of farmers and rebels in rebellion. They didn't like the high debt they had, because they would be taken to court for it and could possibly go to jail. This rebellion made government officials realized that the federal government needed more power. That is why they discarded the articles of confederation, and soon established the U.S constitution. The constitution is now our supreme law of the land, and gave the federal government and state governments certain power. This practice is often called "Federalism", which is when power is divided/ shared between the federal and state governments

rjkz [21]
Average heights of American men and women have increased steadily since the 1940s because of the interaction of genes with environmental changes especially in the diet consumed over time. Thus, the healthier an individual, the taller they are based on their rich lifestyles.  In contrast, individuals who are malnourished tend to appear short in height. It is correct to infer that the living standards of individuals affect the aspect height with time.

In the presidential Oath/Affirmation, what three things does he/she swear to do for the Constitution, to the best of their abili
NISA [10]

In the presidential Oath or Affirmation, the three things do he/she swear to do for the Constitution, to the best of their abilities are:

  • preserve,
  • protect, and
  • defend the Constitution of the United States.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Oaths in the presidency are commonly done by the elected president and vice president as a form of commitment to their state and duties.

The oath in the United States was first made by the president George Washington on April 30, 1789. Since that moment, every elected U.S. president must say the same oath at the inauguration ceremony.

The presidential oath is written in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States. The oath reads:

<em>"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my abilities, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."</em>

This oath is generally administered by the Chief Justice of the United States. However, it is an agreement among legal experts, and there are no constitutional rules related to this matter.
