Both countries were not receptive to the domination of Europe and America but Japan was less unyielding after witnessing the defeat of China in the Opium wars. The monarchy, the nobles, and the military were against the Western domination but the intellectuals, the peasants, and the workers were more open to the Westerners because of the prospect of new knowledge and opportunities for employment.<span />
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
To what extent was any level of the government (national, state, or local) of 1786-87 able to carry out the functions for which government is established?
Well, the big issue in those years was that the Articles of Confederation -the first form of Constitution in the United States- left a weak central government that was very limited. It only could manage the post office and deal with the Native American Indian tribe's issues, among other minor things. The states remained sovereign and had more power. The states could collect money through taxation. And if the central government needed money, it had to ask for it from the states.
To what extent were the purpose(s) of government listed in the Preamble threatened by anarchy during this period?
The risk was major and the government realized this with the incidents of the Shay Rebellion in Massachusetts. The central government could not raise an army, and the Shay Rebellion was a tough lesson to learn.
That is why the delegates of the states participated in the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 1787, to create a new form of government based in a new Constitution.

Answer:
John Baker was an American militiaman who fought on the patriot side during the American Revolutionary War. His most prominent participation occurred in 1777, during the battle of Thomas Creek, in the northeast of the State of Florida, near the current city of Jacksonville.
In that battle, an American militia was ambushed by a large group of British soldiers. Baker, who was leading the Patriot group, managed to avoid the massacre through a defensive strategy that allowed the Patriots to escape to Georgia.
