Question

14) Why did the delegates at the second Continental Congress purposely create a weak government?

Answer 1

Answer:

14.) they purposely created a weak gov. because of their fear of recreating the tyranny of England which they so desperately tries to get away from. they wanted to give barely any power to the central gov so they couldnt boss around *for a lack of better words* the states.

15.) Shays' is so important because of Shays' rebellion. Although James Madison knew the Articles needed to be completely rewrote, he couldnt voice his opinion since so many others didnt believe him or feared the truth. so when shays rebellion happened it kinda woke up the delegates and forced them to see what no taxing and no central gov was doing to the newly founded country. Daniel shays was the leader of the shays rebellion, a group of farmers and unpaid veterans who needed their money that they rightfully deserved from the war.
