Federal means “formed by a union

1 answer:

6 0

Federalists wanted a stronger federal government, based on their argument that, in order for the Union to last, the national government would need powers that the Articles of Confederation denied it. This included the power to enforce laws. In short, three important leaders, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, wrote a series of 85 newspapers essays in support of the Constitution. These were called the Federalist Papers.

On the opposing side, there were the Antifederalists. While they did, in fact, agree that the Articles of Confederation were not strong enough, they were opposed to the Constitutional Convention, as they believed it had gone too far. They argued that the Constitution weakened state governments by giving too much power to the national government, which they feared would wipe out state freedom, as well as individual power.

I hope this help you!

What could have been done to end racial discrimination against nonwhites in the united states at the turn of the century?

Verizon [17]

Well, to start, the Supreme Court could have ruled differently in Plessy v. Ferguson.

In Plessy, the Supreme Court condoned the practice of "separate but equal" making it permissible for the white south (and north) to create discriminatory practices.

Describe what the cotton gin was and explain how it impacted the United States in the early to mid- 1800s

Alekssandra [29.7K]

The cotton gin was innovated by Eli Whitney and is important to the 1800d because of what it did to the innovation of cotton production in the south. Prior to the machine, enslaved people were forced to hand process cotton, now with the machine, more cotton was able to be processed faster which allowed for slavery to continue and expand in the south so that more cotton could be sold to Britian (who did not have the land for cotton growing) and the northern factories to be made into clothes (increasing production of the industrial revolution especially with the Lowell mills). This will be important later with the Civil War as the south believes that Britian will support them because of their trading history and need for cotton (which of course is not done, due to racial tensions between the newly freed persons of Britian and the enslaved system of the South).

How did the Union's victory strengthen the federal government?

postnew [5]

How did the Union's victory strengthen the federal government? The war demonstrated that the federal government would not tolerate states acting on their own (by making the Union more powerful than the other states). A stronger central government is more effective (the Union's victory), and the federal government owned the south for years after that to help rebuild from the civil war (giving them more power over the south). It also freed millions of African-Americans.

States rights were largely made irrelevant, and the federal government took on powers forbidden by the Constitution.
