Why do you think the smaller states were satisfied with government under the articles of confederation?

1 answer:

6 0

Articles of Confederation formulated a weak national government with most of the political powers retained by the states. The Articles presented no division of branches. Smaller states were satisfied with the government under the articles of confederation because states were authorized to mint their personal money. There was no control of trade between the States.

States could even the treaties with international nations and have the power to declare war, "with the approval of Congress."

Answer:

There were many new opportunities in western united states in the 1800s. There was a gold rush in California and many traveled there seeking profit from selling gold. There was also a lot of unclaimed land that farmers wanted to claim. New territories needed new governments as more people were moving west. Many also moved to the west for railroad work.

Answer:

That those who do not distinguish between law and religion are quick to judge and condemn others.

Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing was taken from the novel "The Scarlet Letter", by Nathaniel Hawthorne. As we know, the book tells the fictional story of a woman who is greatly punished for being a single mother. Sleeping with someone and getting pregnant, even if both people involved were not married to other people, was regarded as adultery in puritan Boston. In the passage, the author shows the people who were ready to condemn did so because they believed they were doing what was right. They saw no distinction between religion and law. And they would apply any type of punishment with the same severity, since all crimes, no matter how big or small, were an offense to their religious principles, were a sin. As is stated in the book:

[...] there was very much the same solemnity of demeanour on the part of the spectators; as befitted a people amongst whom religion and law were almost identical, and in whose character both were so thoroughly interfused, that the mildest and the severest acts of public discipline were alike made venerable and awful. Meagre, indeed, and cold, was the sympathy that a transgressor might look for, from such bystanders at the scaffold.
