Our commander, Lieutenant Major Reginald Brighton, wants a full report on what is happening in the United States. Specifically,

he needs information on the Articles of Confederation, and he wants to know why a stronger government is necessary for the country to survive. In your confidential letter of at least two paragraphs, be sure to include the following elements:
A formal tone used for writing, as you are addressing your commander
A heading or title including a date and greeting to the commander (for example, "Confidential Letter, December 1786.")
First paragraph:
An explanation of the powers that Congress has under the Articles of Confederation
A list of the strengths of the new government under the Articles of Confederation A list of the weaknesses of the new government under the Articles of Confederation
Examples of how people have reacted to the new government

Second paragraph:
An explanation of why a new, stronger government is necessary

If you do well, your commander may reward you with a promotion. After all, your mission is for the glory of Great Britain, which was humiliated by its defeat in the Revolutionary War. The commander is detail oriented and will want as many facts as possible.

Hints:
You should review the information you learned about the Articles of Confederation.
Shays' Rebellion might interest the commander.
Think about the economic trouble in the states and how it affected different social classes.
Your explanation of why a stronger government is needed should be based on the conditions in the United States in 1786.

Guidelines:
Since your audience is a commanding officer, the tone of the letter should be respectful.
Your letter should include a thorough explanation of the Articles of Confederation: the powers it gives to Congress, the strengths and weaknesses it gives to the government, and how people have reacted to it.
Your letter should include an explanation of why a new, stronger government is necessary in order for the country to survive.
Your letter should include a heading or title including a date and greeting to the commander (for example, "Confidential Letter, December 1786.")

Answer:

Dear Commander Lieutenant Major Reginald Brighton:

As you know the confederation has its constitution and this constitution has many articles. The present missive is to inform you what is happening in the United States with respect of this constitution.

The main article of this constitution states that the president is elected by popular vote and gives the congress many attributions. The congress has to approve the nation's budget and they just have spend the money that the country has. I think the best thing  of this people is that they have power balance and leaders that make many good things for their nation.

The strengths of this nation are many. For example it  has a good Army because the congress has bought many good weapons and also it has passed good bills in favor of the people, for example: this country has good hospitals and medicine for everybody. The weaknesses of this new government are many  but I think the worst thing can be that there is not so much Freedom of Speech. The ones that talk about the congress are immediately put under investigation.

People have reacted in different ways to the government, but I think people are started to get tired of the situation of not having the liberty of saying what they really want.

I will inform you more about this nation in my following missives.

Expressing my feelings of the highest esteem, I respectfully say good bye,

Attentively,

Sir William Shakespeare

How did science and technology improve art during the renaissance?
Nezavi [6.7K]

The printing press was invented which was probably the most important invention of all time because people could spread information at a rate that was never seen before. Copernicus discovered that the earth was not the center of the solar system, which people thought it was. It was discovered that earth wasn't flat. Isaac Newton discovered the laws of motion and founded physics. Advancement in medicine and anatomy was also doing better than before. The founding of Americas happened during this time period. Colonization followed the discoveries as well. The Renaissance is the most important part of history.

Hope I could help! :)

2 methods for ratifying an amendment and the number of times used.
salantis [7]

Answer:

Well, I answered your question before but this would not be the same from before :)

An amendment can be proposed by either a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or by a constitutional convention called by Congress at the request of the legislatures in two-thirds of the states. The constitutional convention method has never been used to propose an amendment.amendments are proposed by. Both houses of congress passing it by a 2/3 vote. 2/3 of state legislatures requested a national convention to make an amendment.amendments are ratified by. 3/4 of the state legislatures ratifying it. For a cloture: 16 senators must sponsor the bill.Article V of the Constitution prescribes how an amendment can become a part of the Constitution. While there are two ways, only one has ever been used. All 27 Amendments have been ratified after two-thirds of the House and Senate approve of the proposal and send it to the states for a vote. Then, three-fourths of the states must affirm the proposed Amendment.One of the main reasons for the 1787 Convention was that the Articles of Confederation required the unanimous consent of all 13 states for the national government to take action. This system had proved unworkable, and the newly written Constitution sought to address this problem.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
