Anti-Federalists complained that a strong central government would give too much power to the federal government while taking too much power from state and local governments.

The biggest issue with the Articles of Confederation was that it placed virtually all power within the Congress. This Congress had power to draft and pass laws, but the Articles of Confederation had no provisions allowing an executive branch to enforce those laws within the states. Furthermore, there was no central judicial system to interpret disputes about the laws of the Congress. This meant that the Congress simply had no power behind the laws that it passed, which allowed the states simply to ignore any certain laws that weren't in their best interests.

Simply put, the Articles of Confederation created a central government that was far too weak to be of real value.

What was the goal of the confederate forces? John brown

faust18 [17]

The goal of the Confederate forces was to obtain their independence from the North and continue using slavery.

During this time, the Southern states were focused on agriculture, while the Northern states were focused on industrialization. The South would have plantations where they would grow cash crops, such as indigo and tobacco. These cash crops would sell for a lot of money overseas, but they needed manpower in order to produce more. This is why they were so adamant about keeping slavery, which they felt the North would try to take away from them. With Abraham Lincoln winning the election, this only caused them to worry more.

This made the South secede, or rebel against the Union. They wanted to be independent from the Union and felt as if they were not being heard or listened to. They strongly believed that the Union, along with Abraham Lincoln, would try to abolish slavery, which would cause them to lose income.

I live in Michigan. I went to Iowa and killed someone. I then went to Florida for vacation. I got caught for the Iowa murder whi

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

In this situation, you will be tried in Iowa, because that is the state where you committed the crime. It does not matter that you live in Michigan or that you went on vacation in Florida, and were caught there.

The reason is that section 2 of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution obliges states to return fugitives to the state where they are being prosecuted for a crime.

This section also obliges states to guarantee residents of oher states the same legal rights and protections that they guarantee to their own residents, so you as a resident of Michigan, will have the right to a fair trial in Iowa, as if you were an Iowa resident.
