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

The Articles of Confederation was ratified in 1781 and was the first constitution for the United States. It was written to be very weak, as this was written soon after the American Revolution and many Americans were scared of power being abused, like with what happened with Great Britain. With the Articles, the government could not tax the states directly, create and enforce laws properly, draft soldiers, regulate trade, amend the Articles without the approval of all of the states, and other important matters that needed to be handled.

The Anti-Federalists approved of the Articles of Confederation, they associated the government having power with British tyranny and wanted to keep the power to the people. On the other hand, the Federalists wanted to change the Articles of Confederation and felt as if it was doing more harm than good, they wanted to have a stronger government.

Eventually, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called to amend the Articles of Confederation. Many people were realizing how it was harming the United States and the Federalists became a big impact on changing it. Instead of changing it though, it ended up getting scrapped completely. They replaced the Articles of Confederation and made the United States Constitution instead, which granted power to the federal government.

The weaknesses affected many future policies of the United States. Thanks to the Anti-Federalists and their concerns about the government abusing power, along with the weaknesses of the Articles, there are many policies and regulations for the United States government. Policies also exist to protect citizen's rights and making sure they have power as well. Many of this has to do with the Bill of Rights, which protects the citizen's rights and was pushed for by the Anti-Federalists.

The turned the tide of world war ii against germany
Anarel [89]

Answer: Many historians argue that <u>the battle of Stalingrad</u> turned the tide of World War II against Germany.

Explanation:

After the battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943), Germany publicly admitted defeat for the first time in war. After five months of fight, the Soviet Union finally defeated the Nazi Germany. Four months after the battle, American and Allied troops headed towards Normandy, and thus the liberation of Western Europe began on D-day ( 6 June 1944). The battle of Stalingrad remains the largest confrontation in World War II, with over 1 million Soviet and 800,000 German casualties.

Unit 6 imperialism from 1750 to 1900 graphic organizer in
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

What does the Europeans want from these countries? Raw Materials. Why? During that time Great Britain industrial revolution was going on. You need raw materials like Iron to create products to sell. Boost europeans economy, so they exploit other countries.

How? Most common strategy they use was Divide and Conquer. They divide the country up, make them fight each other. Then use that weakness to control both sides. Europeans believe they have a far superior govt. than other countries, so they will "parent" other countries. Another way is promising them technology, medicine and education. Once again these countries they are imperializing are far from advanced than Great Britain.

Which best describes President Carter’s attempts to free the hostages in Iran?
STALIN [3.7K]

President Carter's attempts to free the hostages were done in good faith and effort, but were hampered by failures in communication, delivery and execution. The plan involved servicemen who were not as well-trained as they could have been and certain weather effects like the "haboob" which was a big dust cloud, doomed the mission. Carter does deserve credit for taking responsibility for the failure however.
