<em>A. The Northwest Ordinance was passed in 1787 which set guidelines for forming new states.</em>

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the United States' first constitution. It is known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.

The government could not tax the states, create and enforce laws properly, draft soldiers, regulate trade, and other important processes. This eventually led people to believe that the Articles of Confederation was hurting the country and needed to be revised, these people were called Federalists. On the other hand, the people who wanted to keep the Articles of Confederation and did not want the government to have power were called Anti-Federalists.

With the Articles of Confederation, the Congress really only had one success, this was the Northwest Ordinance, which was passed in 1787. This meant that the Northwest territories would be split and would set guidelines for forming new states.

When labor unions decided to strike for higher wages in 1945, President Truman had to choose between

nydimaria [60]

Answer: supporting the unions or getting the economy back on track.

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States. He assumed the presidency during the last months of WWII and at the beginning of the Cold War. He was a moderate Democrat and for the most part, he tried to continue the policies of the New Deal that Roosevelt had implemented.

However, Truman generally had an antagonistic approach to labor, particularly during the wave of labor strikes from 1945-46. Truman mostly chose to side with employers instead of unions in an attempt to improve the economy. This made him an unpopular character, receiving very low public approval poll numbers.
