<span>The most important difference was that the Articles of Confederation gave very little power to a central government while the Constitution created a strong central government.
Other major differences include:
Articles of Confederation:
- no Bill of Rights
- gov't has no power to collect tax
- to make amendment, vote of states had to be unanimous
- no president (executive branch)
- only one "house" in Congress (unicameral)
- states could coin there own $ (so there were multiple currencies)
- Congress had between 2 and 7 reps per state
- representatives in Congress were appointed by state legislature (no popular vote)
U.S. Constitution:
- Bill of Rights
- gov't can collect tax
- amendment needs 3/4 vote
- has an executive branch
- two houses in Congress (bicameral)
- only U.S. gov't can coin $ (one currency for nation)
- Congress has 2 senators per state and representatives depending on the size of the state's population
- senators appointed, but representatives elected through popular vote</span>
In 1788, in the 78th paper of “The Federalist, Alexander Hamilton argued for judicial review by an independent judiciary as a necessary means to void all governmental actions contrary to the Constitution. Marbury v. Madison 1803. Was an early Supreme Court case that affirmed the Court's power of judicial review by striking down a law made by Congress as unconstitutional. In his written opinion, Chief Justice John Marshall declared that “an act of the legislature repugnant to the Constitution is void.”
The Meiji Period in Japan is generally believed to last from 1868 to 1912 and was named after the emperor Meiji.
The era saw the Meiji Restoration take place, also known as Meiji Revolution, or Reform.
This saw the first formal consolidation of power in Japan and the development of a modern administration and standing army.
The Meiji Restoration saw a period of Japanese advancements in the fields of education, agriculture and technology. The Japanese understood that they were far behind Western Powers and would need to replicate their success in order to avoid being dominated by them.
Japan transformed from a mostly agrarian society into a modern country with skilled engineers and scientists.
This also greatly contributed towards the development of a capable Army.
