History

Answer:

The Constitutional Convention gathered in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. The Virginia delegation took the initiative to frame the debate by immediately drawing up and presenting a proposal, for which delegate James Madison is given chief credit. It was, however, Edmund Randolph, the Virginia governor at the time, who officially put it before the convention on May 29, 1787 in the form of 15 resolutions.

The scope of the resolutions, going well beyond tinkering with the Articles of Confederation, succeeded in broadening the debate to encompass fundamental revisions to the structure and powers of the national government. The resolutions proposed, for example, a new form of national government having three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. One contentious issue facing the convention was the manner in which large and small states would be represented in the legislature. The contention was whether there would be equal representation for each state regardless of its size and population, or proportionate to population giving larger states more votes than less-populous states.

Both the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are designed to _____ the power of the federal government.
kobusy [5.1K]

Both the Ninth and Tenth Amendments are designed to <u>LIMIT</u> the power of the federal government.

The Ninth Amendment (1791) contained a Bill of Rights to protect the individual's right and limit the central government, stating that the rights addressed weren't final and didn't deny or disparage the existence of other unenumerated rights, retained by the people.

As for the Tenth Amendment (1791), it granted the powers that the Constitution neither delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states, to the states, which basically meant that the states could establish their own laws as long as they weren't contrary to the federal government's laws.

quester [9]
The National Labor Relations Act, passed under President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935, allowed for the following:

1) "The right to bargain as a group"- This concept is known as collective bargaining, as it represents an entire group of individuals within the same company coming together to negotiate for certain conditions/benefits.

2) "The right to form unions"- Before this time, business owners could punish individuals for joining a labor union. However, the national government made this action illegal, giving individuals the freedom to join a union without worrying about repercussions.

3) "The right to go on strike"

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer:

This is the differences between the the Constitution and the Articles of Confederation. I hope this helps.

Explanation:

There were key differences between the two documents in the how they both codified the law. The Articles of Confederation established a unicameral legislature, as opposed to the eventual bicameral system created by the Constitution. Voting power was delegated to states based on committees (consisting of anywhere from two to seven people) and each state had one vote in the Articles of Confederation; the Constitution allowed for a single vote for each legislative representative (for each state, two Senators and a number of House representatives based on census population). Furthermore, the Constitution created the Executive Branch of government, establishing a figurehead department of the government that was still held accountable to public scrutiny. In the grand scheme of things, the Constitution did more to centralize authority in a single political entity, rather than rely on the more lax union created by the Articles of Confederation.
