The correct answer is C. Checks and balances. The Checks and balances system is crucial for constitutional and tripartite governments. Since it allows for the different branches of a government (judiciary, executive and legislative power) to share and control their power. It prevents the risk of power centralization and defines the specific duties each branch government has to fulfill.

Option B

How did the u.s make their new government (articles of confederation) different than britian.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Articles of Confederation established the first form of constitution government to establish the powers of the new national government. Here are some of the reasons why the Articles of Confederation did not work out for the USA:

The Articles provided for a weak national government.

The Articles gave Congress no power to tax or regulate trade among the states.

The Articles provided for no common currency.

The Artices provided for no executive or judicial branches of government.

The Articles gave each state one vote regardless of size.

The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation led to many problems in the United States. Edit

The lack of federal judicial branch led to many land disputes between the states.

Congress did not have the power to collect taxes; therefore, they could not raise enough revenue to pay the Continental Army. This weakness led Spain and Great Britain to take advantage of the USA.

Finance was a serious issue. The more money was printed, therefore decreasing the value which leads to inflation. Profiteers try to get money out of the Revolutionary War by taking a well-wanted object and raking up the price. This is a nasty cycle, causing the economy to collapse. This affects the military, in which about 1783, they conspire to take over the Congress. George Washington was absolutely livid with his officers!

Borders, reduction of trade, states arguing over boundaries and debt were issues also included.

Shey's Rebellion was the last straw for Americans. Many realized the Articles of Confederation was not working for the new country. In the Summer of 1786, Captain Daniel Shays at age 39 leads a rebellion after the government comes after his land after he is unable to pay the crazily high state taxes. They could not pay the taxes because they have not been paid. He attacks debtor prisoners which house soldiers who couldn't pay their taxes. The congress of Massachusetts attempts to garner an army to fight the rebellion but no one showed up for the fight. The Massachusetts militia had to come and break it up.

Although not very important, some accomplishments were met Edit

They won the Revolutionary War and established a type of governance for the Western Territory. They establish two good ordinances that benefit the country.

Land Ordinance of 1785: Lays out a grid system to survey the land west of the Appalachians (Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio, etc.). Inside each township, one plot of land should be reserved for public education. This must be away from the churches/places of worship, representing the policy of separation of church and state. Selling land can be used as a way of making money.

Northwest Ordinance of 1787: 1. Congress will practically govern the area by appointing governors and judges; 2. If 5,000 adult males are residing in the territory, the voters can agree on a temporary constitution and appoint a legislature; 3. When the population reaches 60,000 votes, they're able to ratify the state constitution. Congress will approve and therefore, statehood will be granted. Though, in each of these statehood constitutions, slavery was prohibited.
