What was a weakness of the Articles of Confederation?

History

<em>A. Nine states were required for approval of any changes.</em>

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States, even before the United States Constitution. The Articles of Confederation was very weak and gave limited power to the federal government. Under the Articles, the government could not tax the states, regulate trade, draft soldiers, or even create and enforce laws properly.

One of the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation was the fact that the government could not amend or create laws easily, which made it hard to unify the country and make the citizens abide by rules. In order to pass any new laws, 9 out of 13 of the states had to agree to it. As you can imagine, it was difficult getting that many states to agree to anything.

Eventually, the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called. The original goal of the Constitutional Convention was to simply just amend the Articles of Confederation. This did not happen though, as the Articles of Confederation ended up getting thrown out altogether and the United States Constitution was created in its place. With the United States Constitution, it was much easier for the government to create and enforce laws.

frez [133]

The correct answer is: A State trial court.

Explanation:

The state trial court has general jurisdiction over disputes that occur within the borders of the state, they can happen in different cities as long as they are in the same state. The majority of civil and criminal cases are held in state trial courts and the law is applied according to each state's constitution unless the higher level state asks for the case to be hand over. <em>A dispute over a contract between two people that live in the same city would be heard in a state trial court and would be resolved with the state's constitution and statutes.</em>
