The Silk Road began in the Chinese city of Chang'an and this is the only thing fixed about it. The route does not end in one specific place or country. It split in numerous directions and so has different end points. Some of the places where the silk road has ended are Damascus, Alexandria, Ganges Delta and Tyre. The Silk route actually started or originated in 2nd century BC and it was an important trade route for trading Chinese silk for other materials.The route was created under the Han Dynasty of China to protect the traders from the hand of the bandits that were trying to loot the traders.
California is the present day state that was part of the original Nova Albion.
Hope this helps :)
The Articles of Confederation was the United States' first constitution. It was known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.
The Articles of Confederation was ratified in 1781 and was the first constitution for the United States. It was written to be very weak, as this was written soon after the American Revolution and many Americans were scared of power being abused, like with what happened with Great Britain. With the Articles, the government could not tax the states directly, create and enforce laws properly, draft soldiers, regulate trade, amend the Articles without the approval of all of the states, and other important matters that needed to be handled.
The Anti-Federalists approved of the Articles of Confederation, they associated the government having power with British tyranny and wanted to keep the power to the people. On the other hand, the Federalists wanted to change the Articles of Confederation and felt as if it was doing more harm than good, they wanted to have a stronger government.
Eventually, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called to amend the Articles of Confederation. Many people were realizing how it was harming the United States and the Federalists became a big impact on changing it. Instead of changing it though, it ended up getting scrapped completely. They replaced the Articles of Confederation and made the United States Constitution instead, which granted power to the federal government.
The weaknesses affected many future policies of the United States. Thanks to the Anti-Federalists and their concerns about the government abusing power, along with the weaknesses of the Articles, there are many policies and regulations for the United States government. Policies also exist to protect citizen's rights and making sure they have power as well. Many of this has to do with the Bill of Rights, which protects the citizen's rights and was pushed for by the Anti-Federalists.
<span>The broadest and most open gateway to participation is offered to the American people by political parties.
If you want to engage in any type of political activity, you will have to become a member of one of the political parties. That is probably the only way to have any influence when it comes to politics, and to participate in the political life of America.
