<span>The most important difference was that the Articles of Confederation gave very little power to a central government while the Constitution created a strong central government.
Other major differences include:
Articles of Confederation:
- no Bill of Rights
- gov't has no power to collect tax
- to make amendment, vote of states had to be unanimous
- no president (executive branch)
- only one "house" in Congress (unicameral)
- states could coin there own $ (so there were multiple currencies)
- Congress had between 2 and 7 reps per state
- representatives in Congress were appointed by state legislature (no popular vote)
U.S. Constitution:
- Bill of Rights
- gov't can collect tax
- amendment needs 3/4 vote
- has an executive branch
- two houses in Congress (bicameral)
- only U.S. gov't can coin $ (one currency for nation)
- Congress has 2 senators per state and representatives depending on the size of the state's population
- senators appointed, but representatives elected through popular vote</span>
The question surrounding the Nullification Crisis of 1832 was whether or not the state governments had the ability to void federal laws that they saw as unconstitutional.
This idea of nullification was a result of the federal government passing several different tariffs in 1828. These tariffs increased the price of foreign goods and resulted in other countries being less likely to trade with America. These tariffs had a negative effect on Southern states especially, hence why they argued that they could nullify laws they saw as unconstitutional. Ultimately, this idea has never been solidified or supported by any US courts.
