5 0

Answer:

What was the Articles of Confederation?

It was a written agreement made in 1781 giving the central government no coercive power over the states or their citizens.

Explanation:

Why did it fail?

It made the national government weak with no power to enforce laws. The central government could not collect taxes to fund any of their programs or operations. They couldn't even properly fund and maintain their military ultimately ending this agreement.

How did the Failure lead to the Constitution?

When Shay's rebellion happened it made it even more obvious that a stronger national government was needed. So in September 17, 1787 the constitution was written. It gave all americans rights and protection of life. It made our national government stronger with more power and limits.

(have a great day!)

frutty [35]

Answer:

The two ways the 17th Amendment addressed the concern expressed in the cartoon is by establishing the election of senators by popular vote.  In the original articles of the Constitution, senators were elected by state legislators.  This was a political cartoon supporting the 17th Amendment.  It portrayed the amendment as a path to Democracy once covered by obstacles and/ or boulders.  The 17th Amendment - The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people there of, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote.  The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislators.  When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies:  Provided that the legislator may direct.  This Amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution.
