Answer 8

Most Honorable Delegates,

I recommend that you tell the state leaders that these three weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation must be addressed. They require a new plan for government. The three greatest weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation are the following:




Tell them the first one is a problem because ________________________________________ ________________________________________________________. The second one is a great problem because ____________________________________________________________. The third one is also a struggle because_______________________________________________.

Preamble to the U.S. Constitution

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

This is how I would rewrite this Preamble so that other people can understand it.

Answer 18

The three greatest weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation are the following:

Answer 19

first I can't just give you the answer because I'll get in trouble (i've been called on it before) but here is an article for you to read.


There were more weaknesses than strengths under the Articles of Confederation. The lack of power given to the Continental Congress strangled the federal government. The Articles gave Congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. If a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. Congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. Without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. Amending the Articles of Confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.

Answer 20

so are these good answers?
It did not have the power to tax
It did not have the power to enforce laws
There was no national army or navy

Answer 21

B) it did not have the power to enforce law is -- Good
A) rewrite it, is should talk about congress not able to regulate trade and taxes instead of enforcing
C) No in my opinion because congress should be able to control an army or a navy

Answer 22

ok so A we have to rewrite... i have no idea what to put..

Answer 23

for A) instead of saying it could not enforce taxes, say " lack of control over tax regulation and trade agreements "

Answer 24

ok!

Answer 25

C) talk about how hard it would be to Amend or adapt the Article of Confederation

Answer 26

like what?

Answer 27

Amending the Articles of Confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.

Answer 28

thats c?

Answer 29

we should do this in a google doc... please its easier

Answer 30

I'm sorry for C) go with there was no central military

Answer 31

oh ok!

Answer 32

now lets do this part:
Preamble to the U.S. Constitution
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
This is how I would rewrite this Preamble so that other people can understand it.

Answer 33

We're rewriting the Preamble --- correct

Answer 34

first thing I would do is high light all the big words in the Preamble, like ; Tranquility, Welfare, Posterity, Ordain. And then replace them with there definition or a word of the same meaning but that any 3rd grader would understand

Answer 35

ok...

Answer 36

is this good?

We, the citizens of the USA, to make this country more unified, enforce a justice system, provide general peace to the people, make our nation secure, make sure the people are living well, and give future generations a better life, have decided to put this Constitution in place for the USA.

Answer 37

please fix any mistakes.. :)

Answer 38

instead of using USA, use " United States of America"
2nd -- you don't have to rewrite the whole Preamble , just rewrite it so a 3rd grader can understand -- this part could stay in " in Order to make a more perfect union"
