The Articles of Confederation was an agreement among the 13 original states of the United States, and it served as its first constitution. It came into force on March 1, 1787, after being ratified by all the states. The most important principle of the articles was to preserve the sovereignty of the states. The only powers given to the central government were those previously recognized as belonging to the English government. Two facts that epitomize this guiding principle are:

  • One vote per state: This requirement ensured that each state was recognized as equal among the others, and was allowed equal participation. This protected the independence of each state and their right to self-determination.
  • No power to tax: Another way in which the articles protected the sovereignty of each state was by allowing them to collect their own taxes. The federal government would then ask for a contribution from the states, which often left Congress and the Army short of money.

What is the geographical significance of dutch empire during WWI
lord [1]

The Dutch colonial empire (Dutch: Nederlandse koloniale rijk) comprised the overseas territories and trading posts controlled and administered by Dutch chartered companies—mainly the Dutch West India Company and the Dutch East India Company—and subsequently by the Dutch Republic (1581–1795), and by the modern Kingdom of the Netherlands after 1815.[1] It was initially a trade-based system which derived most of its influence from merchant enterprise and from Dutch control of international maritime shipping routes through strategically placed outposts, rather than from expansive territorial ventures.[2][1] The Dutch were among the earliest empire-builders of Europe, following Spain and Portugal.

xenn [34]
After the people of Illinois became too hostile for the Mormons to stay there any longer (and also, after their church's founder, Joseph Smith, was killed as a result of that violence), Brigham Young took over as leader of the Mormons and led the group out of Illinois and to the present-day state of Utah, where they established a colony on the shores of the Great Salt Lake called New Zion.
