Question

In 1776, the Second Continental Congress created the Articles of Confederation. Answer the following questions about the new government that was created in the United States.

a. What was the balance of power between the central government and state governments under the Articles of Confederation? How did this lead to problems in the early days of the United States?

b. What parts of the Articles of Confederation did American leaders want to keep?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. under the articles of confederation the states help majority power while the federal government had little to none. This led to problems with currency,taxes and wartime. States had militias and often disputed over trade and fought with each other. This meant the U.S was not cohesive and/or powerful as a country because of the articles of confederation. Therefore the U.S and its central government were weak.

B. They kept the description of states as a "firm league of friendship".

Each state has a militia or as known now as the national guard.

Allows states to levy taxes also.
