The United States would be very different if we still lived under the Articles of Confederation. Here are a couple examples
1) There would be no such thing as a federal income tax.- According to the Articles of Confederation, the federal government cannot tax citizens. This would greatly reduce the power of the federal government.
2) There would be no president- The Articles of Confederation did not have an executive branch, meaning there was no president under this constitution.
There are some ideas from the Articles of Confederation. This includes the ability of Congress to declare war. This is an important part of our society today, as it checks the power of the president and ensures that a majority of elected officials in the federal government want to go to war.
Without big farms to run, the people in the North did not rely on slave labor very much. In the South, the economy was based on agriculture. ... The North wanted the new states to be “free states.” Most northerners thought that slavery was wrong and many northern states had outlawed slavery.
