1. To determine which options were permitted by the Articles of Confederation, we can look at the main principles and goals of the Articles. The Articles of Confederation aimed to establish a loose alliance of sovereign states with a weak central government.
A: Defense - Yes, the states were allowed to come together for the common defense. The central government had the power to raise an army, declare war, and make treaties.
B: Liberty - Yes, protecting individual liberties was one of the main goals of the Articles. The central government had limited powers to ensure that individual rights and state sovereignty were protected.
C: Rebellion - No, this was not explicitly permitted by the Articles. In fact, the Articles sought to prevent rebellion and maintain order within the states.
D: Cooperation - Yes, the Articles encouraged cooperation among the states on matters such as trade, solving disputes, and managing common affairs.
2. To determine which option was NOT permitted by the Articles of Confederation, we can again refer to the main principles and limitations of the Articles.
A: Setting up Congress and representatives from each state - Yes, this was permitted. The Articles established a unicameral Congress with each state having one vote.
B: Coming together to sign treaties to start a war - No, this was not permitted. Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government did not have the power to initiate wars or sign treaties without the consent of all the states.
C: Pay debts owed to other countries - Yes, this was permitted. The central government had the power to negotiate and secure loans, and the states were expected to contribute funds to repay the debts.
D: Citizens' movement between each state - Yes, this was permitted. The Articles guaranteed the rights and privileges of citizens in each state, including the freedom to travel and reside in any state.
3. To determine the number of states required to agree for new states to join the country, we need to refer to the process outlined in the Articles of Confederation.
The correct answer is A: 9. According to Article XI of the Articles of Confederation, the consent of nine states was required for the admission of a new state into the confederation.
4. To identify the problem with the Articles of Confederation, we need to understand the criticisms and flaws that led to its eventual replacement with the United States Constitution.
A: The national government had more power than the states - No, this was not a problem with the Articles. In fact, the central government under the Articles of Confederation was intentionally weak, resulting in limited powers and difficulties in implementing policies.
B: The people of the states had no rights - No, this was not a problem with the Articles. The Articles aimed to protect the individual rights and liberties of the people, but their limitations made it challenging to enforce these rights effectively.
C: The national government had less power than the states - Yes, this was a significant problem with the Articles. The central government lacked essential powers such as the authority to tax, regulate commerce, and enforce laws. This weakness hindered the government's ability to govern effectively and address pressing issues.
D: The people of the 13 states had too many rights - No, this was not a problem with the Articles. The Articles sought to preserve individual rights and limit the powers of the central government, but their flaws lay in the government's inability to carry out necessary functions rather than excessive rights for the people.
