The reason why it takes a long time to ratify the Articles of Confederation is that U.S. just declared independent from Britain, in other words, they just passed the Declaration of Independence, and in order to keep a country on track, they need some sorts of form of government, and they don't want to repeating the history, or have another tyrant, or a king, to rule over them again, which is a part of reason why they declared independent (the actual reasons is the king taxes us for no reason and we can't participate in the government), so they need all of the 13 states to approve, or sign, the Articles of Confederation, majority of them signed it, some of them having issues about the rights in the Articles of Confederation, so someone, I forgot his name, promised to includes all of the rights into the Articles of Confederation, which they can't do it instantly, which later known as the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments), so it takes longer to get the whole Articles of Confederation to be approved, or ratified.
Hope this help, my English is not that well so please excuse for it.
There were multiple significant social movements after World War I including:
1) Harlem Renaissance- This movement revolved around the explosion of African-American music, art, writing, and culture. During this era, many African-American citizens lived in big cities (like Harlem) and used their talents in order to captivate American citizens. This was a small step towards improved relations between white and black citizens, as they found common interests in things like jazz music.
2) Women's Rights Movement- Women played a significant part in the war effort during World War I. This prompted many women to demand more rights, especially voting rights. This movement that started right after World War I resulted in the passing of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
