Answer:

Given: Which of the following was not a weakness of the articles of confederation (1781-1789)? A) a weak "league of friendship" among the states

B) the requirement of unanimous approval by all 13 states for amendments

C) no judicial branch

D) no congressional power to impose taxes

The articles state that the States are entered into a firm league of friendship with each other. This is to improve their common defense, the security of their liberties, general welfare, and so on. Thus the league of friendship is not a weakness. Which means that the answer is A).

Nine of the 13 states are needed to ratify a bill before it becomes a law and all states are needed to accept an amendment, thus B) is a weakness of the articles.

The government under the articles of confederation only contained one legislative body and provided no permanent national judiciary, thus C) is a weakness of the articles.

The Federal government was not able to impose taxes and thus D) is also a weakness of the articles.

OTHER WEAKNESSES

Little or no enforcement of the laws made by the President.

States print their own currency.

No foreign policy.

No federal army.

Lack of power over the states.

Strong state governments and weak federal government.

Each state has one vote, regardless of size.

CONCLUSION: A) “a weak league of friendship among the states” is not a weakness.

Explanation:

• Weaknesses under the Articles of Confederation:

• Problems within Congress-

-Congress had trouble passing laws (9 of the 13 states had to agree before any laws could be passed)

-There was no president or executive branch (no way to make sure that laws passed by Congress were carried out)

- Congress did not have the power to collect the taxes needed to pay for the expenses of the national government

- Congress could not pay the nation's debt nor could it provide government programs and services since it could not force the states into paying money

- no judicial system:

no courts to interpret laws or to judge those that broke(national court system did not exist)

- changing the Articles of Confederation was nearly impossible (A unanimous vote of all 13 states was required before any changes could be made). The way I see it is that all the answers listed are weaknesses that why I am confused...after reading this do you still think it would be answer B?

On a map of "Big island" of Hawaii , trace the route taken by placing each number
Irina-Kira [14]

are where you live, however there are a few things you need to be aware of to make your Big Island vacation safer and more enjoyable.




•The maximum speed limit is 55 mph. (You’re supposed to be on vacation. What’s the hurry?) If the scenery has you dawdling along at a slower speed, pull over to let those behind you pass. The people zipping past you are either locals who are late for work or vacationers who are about to miss their flight.




•There are no marked police cars on the island; police officers drive personal vehicles. And instead of red lights, they use blue lights to get your attention. If you see a car or SUV behind you with a blue light on its roof remember the first driving tip.




•Unless otherwise marked, it is OK to turn right after stopping at a red light. Also, unless it is an emergency, avoid using your car’s horn. Aloha spirit is alive on the island and drivers are usually courteous towards each other.




•Gasoline prices are somewhere between “Ouch” and “Oh, My God!” Locals fill up at the Costco near the airport in Kailua Kona. If you are a Costco member, remember this tip when you are returning your rental car at the end of your vacation.




•Rental contracts may restrict the use of your rental vehicle. Read your contract before driving on the Saddle Road (Route 200) or the road to South Point.




•The weather on the Saddle Road is unpredictable, with rain, snow (yes, it does snow in Hawaii), sleet, and fog likely as you leave or approach Hilo. If you decide to drive that route: be sure you have at least a half tank of gas (there are no service stations along the route), “go” before you go (the only bathroom on the route is at the Mauna Kea State Recreation Area and it may be closed for repairs), don’t carry pork in your car and be sure to stop and pick up any old hags or beautiful women dressed in white who are hitchhiking. Read our History and Culture page for an explanation.




•Because of road construction, the traffic between the Kona airport and Captain Cook may be moving slowly (sometimes glacially). Budget a little more time to complete the drive, and please drive carefully while the infrastructure catches up with the population.




•When you ask for directions you may hear “Go” as in, “Go Hilo” (in the direction of Hilo) or, “Go Kona” (in the direction of Kona or perhaps even the west side of the island). You may also hear the words mauka (MAOW-ka) and makai (mah-KAI) . Since this is an island with gigantic mountains in the center, locals may tell you that what you are looking for is on the mauka (towards the mountain) or makai (towards the sea) side of a road.




•It takes nearly 6 hours of non-stop driving to completely circle the Big Island. Your passengers will like the trip better if you circle the island in a clockwise direction. Often there are steep cliffs on the ocean (makai) side of the road. Circling the island in a clockwise direction will place you on the mountain (mauka) side of the road.





Free maps of the island can be found in tourist booklets (click here to view a sample) at the airport and shopping centers. Click here to download a printable map from the Big Island Visitor’s Bureau. Map books that detail all the roads on either the east or west side of the island are available for purchase in most gift shops and grocery stores.



•Your car rental company may provide emergency road service as part of your contract. Inquire when renting a vehicle. Although the only AAA office in Hawaii is on the island of Oahu, AAA emergency roadside service for members is available islandwide. Contact your AAA office for more information. The phone number for AAA emergency road service is 1-800-AAA-help.
