Poverty is one of the main reasons for social problems but I believe that the worst social problem we have is social inequality, which is the main generator of problems. There is no formula for how to end wealth or social equality given that most people who are rich have no interest in sharing or helping people who have little or almost nothing.
Capitalism generates more and more inequalities, which leads to more poverty, because the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
This is what is in psychology called cognitive complexity. Cognitive complexity allows us to imagine and construct many different scenarios and analyze certain behaviors and though are thinking processes find out what the causes for those behaviors are. This is a characteristic of how complex a persons perceptual skill is.
The Articles of Confederation failed because they did not give Congress and the national government enough power. The new U.S just fought a war to end what they considered arbitrary rules of a strong government that controlled the local government and the leaders of the U.S. They did not give the Central government the power it needed to rule effectively.
It did not give the Congress the power to tax, to draft troops, to place tariffs on foreign goods, to control interstate commerce or stop states from printing their own money, and the list can go on.
