Which was an area of weakness in the federal government under the articles of confederation

History

Answer:

Legislative power

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first American Constitution and they were replaced by the current Constitution because they carried a series of problems and weakness.

The main reason for that is that the States feared a too strong central government. To do so, they gave more power to the States.

The Legislative Power of the Central Government was very weak and did not have much power. Congress had only one chamber and each state had one vote, which gave more power to the States even when this power was not good for the nation’s interests.

Also, Congress needed 9 of the 13 states to pass any law, this is also called supermajority which eventually made almost impossible to pass any legislation.

16. What was the name given to the widespread fear of suspected Communists and radicals in the United States after World War I?
earnstyle [38]

A. The Red Scare

Communists were associated with the color red because of the red flag of the Soviet Union -- thus the "Red Scare." One manifestation of the Red Scare was how people's privacy was invaded. Accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people.  Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance.  But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that.  Those who aimed to protect the rights and liberties of each individual saw the Red Scare tactics as "witch hunts," where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.

Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the Red Scare (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.

How was US imperialism similar to Japanese imperialism
Svetach [21]

Answer: US: Modern imperialism started in the 15th century when European countries discovered, and fought to claim, the New World. American imperialism began in the 1890s. In 1896 the US annexed the Hawaiian Islands. After the Spanish-American War the US annexed Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.

Japanese: The United States forcibly opened Japan to the outside world in 1853. ... Japan emulated the imperialistic behaviors of the Western powers. From the beginning of the Meiji Period in 1868, Japan's leaders sought to make the country an industrial and military power on par with the Western imperialist powers.

Hope this helps!
