Question Evaluate the extent to which the Articles of Confederation successfully governed the new nation in the period from 1777 to 1789. (Type or paste in your chosen question) Contextualization The British had previously ruled the American colonies, which were not liking how the British Monarchy administered them. The How can you place your argument into the broader historical context? In 3–4 sentences, describe how something that occurs before or during the time frame of the question is relevant to your argument that follows. Revolutionary War resulted from this. The colonies engaged in a war to win their freedom from Britain. Following its independence, the Colonies required a government and a paper outlining the foundations of their new country.That paper was the Articles of Confederation. Thesis Overall, this new emerging nation had been poorly governed by the Articles of Confederation. It had a good structure for the development ● ● ● ● Answers the question Arguable Use supporting point categories to alludeto the evidence Focuses on comparison, causation, or continuity and change Supporting Point 1 of the country, but failed to control the states in union. The articles established a government that couldn't make or enforce the laws. As a result, the Articles of Confederation failed to effectively govern the new country. The Articles of Confederation created an unchecked and a loose union of states with little to no sense of national unity.

Explain the Evidence In America under the Articles taxation was not forced or levied on Point 1 individuals made by congress like we have today. Instead many times it was just asked if states could pay their taxation, no enforcement. Explain how this point, supported by your evidence, connects back to and proves your thesis. Must be full sentences. With that happening the nation most definitely had a tremendous downfall to pay back debts in war and just back needs that needed to be done in trade in the nation or outside. We see in our current situation of our states that having money to fund making our country better and even just the state better is heavily needed since taxation is a prime source of how the government can do its regulation in security, fixing things, and bettering themself to provide what the people need. Analysis and Reasoning Point 1 My claim is supported by the fact that the Articles of Confederation made the states become divided as a result. The states did not have a purpose or a must to communicate with one another unless a serious issue arises. They all took independent, separate actions. At the time, the United States needed a strong central government. The reverse of this was produced by the government and the Articles.This was in Show a deeper understanding by connecting this point to the reasoning skill (comparison, causation, or continuity and change) in which you structured your thesis. Must be full sentences. demonstrating their ineffectiveness and lack of assistance with the problems the nation was facing. The United States is experiencing issues due to the excessive power to the states. Moreover, both the federal and state governments created a printing system of money.

The Constitution for modern day has the right to levy taxes on individuals while the AOC could just put in a request for payment of taxes.

Supporting Point 2- full The system under the Articles of Confederation to have a judicial sentence system and basically checks and balances lead to an internal stalemate. Specific Evidence Point ● 2 Criminals could effectively flee justice if there was no judicial branch by traveling between states. ● Without an executive branch, Congress would be powerless to carry out the legislation it passed. Provide multiple facts or concepts to back up this point. You can use bullet points. Explain the Evidence The process under the Articles resulted in the states always allocating Point 2 1 vote in congress no matter the population and the desired representation it wanted. The lack of the executive branch with a president had also caused a lack of judiciary means in the government. Another lack was in the making of very major decisions Explain how this point, supported by your evidence, connects back to and proves your thesis. of the house due to the lack of relying on only 9 of the 13 states to pass something or agree to change something. All in all the new nation under the AOC caused the federal government to lack the necessary strength to push out and actually enforce its laws with the little resources it had and the unbalanced judicial system currently in place. Analysis and Reasoning Point 2 Due to the supporting evidence the Articles of Confederation had shown that there was a significant imbalance of pursuing justice and even having laws emplaced in the first place. With their lack of having the executive branch to not have a judicial balance of major national decisions and having power. With the articles no seen method of actually enforcing laws within the judicial system and just by a law Show a deeper understanding by connecting this point to the reasoning skill (comparison, enforcement states had every right to choose which laws they would take in and which they would exempt. That lack of unity in general soon turned into instability amongst the states as criminals were able to flee where they were caught to somewhere else or just never face repercussions for a blatant crime. The people of the states soon fell to anarchy towards the government since the nationwide confusion of causation, or continuity what to do and what not to do was so imbalanced amongst and change) in which everywhere.
