Answer 1

Articles of Confederation:

• - Requires unanimous vote to amend laws
• - Did not have power to tax states
• - Each state had one vote regardless of size or population
• - Power to declare war
• - Recognized as a formal document for governing people
• - Stronger state power

US Constitution:

• - Bicameral
• - 3 branches of government
• - Power to regulate money
• - Established Supreme Court
• - Requires majority vote to amend laws
• - Stronger federal power

Both:

• - One branch of government (legislative)
• - Power to tax states.

Articles of Confederation:

1. Amendment Process: Required unanimous consent of all states to amend laws, making it challenging to make changes.

2. Taxing Power: Lacked the authority to directly tax states, relying on voluntary contributions.

3. Representation: Each state had one vote in the unicameral legislature, regardless of size or population.

4. War Powers: Granted the power to declare war.

5. Formal Recognition: Recognized as the formal document for governing the newly independent states.

6. Power Distribution: Emphasized stronger state powers with a limited central government.

US Constitution:

1. Legislative Structure: Bicameral legislature with the House of Representatives and the Senate.

2. Branches of Government: Established three branches - Executive, Legislative, and Judicial - to separate and balance powers.

3. Regulation of Money: Granted the power to regulate and coin money to the federal government.

4. Judicial System: Established the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary.

5. Amendment Process: Required a majority vote for amendments, making it more feasible to adapt to changing circumstances.

6. Power Distribution: Emphasized stronger federal powers with a more balanced system.

Both US Constitution and Article of Confederation:

1. Legislative Branch: Both the Articles of Confederation and the US Constitution included a legislative branch, though their structures and powers differed.

2. Power to Tax States: Both granted the authority to tax states, but the mechanisms and limits varied.
