The answer is:

The pilgrims drew lots and he drew the shortest straw.

In "The Canterbury Tales," by Geoffrey Chaucer, Harry Bailey, the host and guide of the pilgrimage and owner of the Tabard Inn at Southwark, comes up with the idea of telling tales to pass the time on the journey. For that reason, the pilgrims draw lots to determine that the knight will tell the first tale. Nevertheless, the narrator does not think this is by chance. Actually, the knight is the first character to be portrayed because of his high social rank.

Also, due to the heat and the still water, mosquitoes carrying different diseases like malaria and dengue, swarmed the area biting and infecting the workers, ultimately killing most.

Before all states would agree to ratification which part of the constitution needed a compromise
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The Article of confederation needed a compromise before the agreement of all the 13 states.

Explanation:The Article of confederation created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government.The need for a stronger government was soon felt and led to constitutional convention in 1787.The purpose of this article was to plan the structure of new government and create confederation.It was created by second continental government.

The main power of congress was to make the laws.

Since congress could not collect taxes so government was always short of money.There was no executive branch so there was no one to enforce

the laws.

The major problem of this article was weak central government.The central government kept powers in the hands of state government.

Each state having one vote each was a problem,because states with small population was overriding the larger ones,which was unfair.
