The reason i chose this meme is because it makes fun of the articles overall functionality. It makes in look like the article will work and it makes fun of it by saying, "what could go wrong." This makes fun of it because everything went wrong.

This meme makes fun of the articles ability to give the congress power over the states. It shows this picture because the people where given a lot of power, and congress didn't have much say and couldn't enforce the people to pay taxes.]]> 2017-12-05 13:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213269588 Ryan F https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213269631

This shows one Major flaw that would be no taxation on stuff. Without taxation you cannot pay debt or pay for the war. That is a massive flaw in the Articles of Confederation.

When they made the articles of confederation, they had a weak government at the time and they couldn't enforce it. ]]> 2017-12-05 13:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213270076 ross P https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213270078

States didn't pay the Government, so the Govern

- They had no military

The Government was still very weak , and some of the states didn't want to follow the rules, which didn't give the government power]]> 2017-12-05 13:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213273769 Ross.P https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213274238 the articles and laws didnt really effect the states because it didnt have enough power. it slowly disappeared just like Homer ]]> 2017-12-05 13:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213274238 https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213274517 Hayden S.

This makes sense because the Articles of Confederation never really worked. It wasn't that good of a document for the United States. You didn't have people pay taxes so you couldn't get out of debt or pay war.

The Articles of Confederation were ineffective because they couldn't go and stop crime anywhere, and they didn't have enough money at the time.]]> 2017-12-05 13:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213276721 Ryan F. https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213276997

This makes sense because it really didn't work. There was no judicial branch and also they didn't have people pay taxes . Which is bad because they couldn't pay debt also they couldn't pay for war. So the Articles of confederations didn't work]]> 2017-12-05 13:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213276997 Ross.p https://padlet.com/logan_w_goodwin/g6rr4lunshra/wish/213277326

The Article was too weak to have any effect on the central government like they wanted. So, they could not make people pay taxes.
