What challenges did the United States encounter during the construction of the canal?

1 answer:

6 0

There were many obstacles to such a project. The first was Great Britain. Fearing that either side would build an is thmathian canal and use it for national advantage, the United States and Great Britain agreed in the 1850Clayton-Bulwer Treaty that neither side would build such a canal. A half century later, the now dominant United States wanted to nullify this deal. Great Britain, nervous about its South African Boer War and an increasingly cloudy Europe, sought to make a friend in the United States. The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty permitted the United States to build and fortify a Central American canal, so long as the Americans promised to charge the same fares to all nations. One roadblock was clear.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation, ratified by the Second Continental Congress in 1777, gave the central government very limited powers that in the end proved ineffective.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government could not collect taxes or raise an standing army. In a time when Britain was still a threat to the American independence, this was inconvenient.

This is the reason why the founding fathers decided to meet again and draft a new constitution that adopts a federal system with a central government that can collect taxes and keep an standing army. It is the current U.S. Constitution.
