Answer:

Some colonists who were not persuaded by the political struggle joined the British for personal gain or military glory. Some joined out of sheer loyalty to the Crown — they still believed themselves loyal British citizens. There were also many American farmers willing to sell their goods to the British for profit.

Although he supported Englishman Thomas Paine's call for immediate independence for the American colonies, Adams feared that Paine had “a better hand at pulling down than building.”

Which of the following was not a weakness of the Articles of Confederation? a. one vote per state regardless of size c. strong n
Anit [1.1K]
<span>The articles created no separate executive department to carry out and enforce the acts of Congress and no national court system to interpret the meaning of laws. To make a change to the Articles, it had to be decided unanimously by all states. Also, 9 out of the 13 states had to approve any major law before it was passed. There was no standing army to protect the nation. Each state could create its own foreign policy, including the passage of treaties. Each state could create its own money and it might not be accepted in other states. The war left a huge debt, but the Articles didn't allow congress to collect taxes, only to ask for money from the states. The central government could not regulate commerce between the states. </span>
