The cartoonist who created the political cartoon " Rough Sailing Ahead" was expressing his belief that the Articles of Confederation was too weak to be an effective form of government.

Further Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was America's first government without British rule. This constitution was developed based on America's experience as colonists of Great Britain. This is one of the many reasons why this first constitution had a very weak central government. As shown in the cartoon, the federal government did not have the power to:

A) Enforce treaties (aka agreements).

B) Collect taxes- This made it extremely difficult to pay of their debt from the American Revolution.

C) Raise an army- This would become a problem when Daniel Shay and other farmers revolted against recently implemented taxes by their state governments. This was known as Shay's Rebellion.

These are just some of the many problems with the Articles of Confederation. This is why delegates from the 13 states met at the Constitutional Convention in order to fix the Articles of Confederation. After realizing that this was not a possibility, the delegates decided to get rid of the Articles of Confederation and create a brand new constitution. This lead s to the creation of the US Constitution we still possess today.

Ivahew [28]

The correct answers are A) confident and C) fearless.

The adjectives that best describe Jurgis's attitude are confident and fearless.

These are the correct adjectives to describe Jurgis's attitude because he would only laugh when he herd those intimidating stories. He had only been there for four months, and he was young, so he was reckless. The excerpt also tells us that he was a big guy, a "giant" it is written. We conclude that there was too much health in him. All of this made Jurgis show a confident attitude.

Upton Sinclair was an American author and journalist who published the book "The Jungle" in 1906. In the book, he referred to the unhealthy and harsh conditions of workers who labored in the meatpacking industry of Chicago and other large cities in the United States.
