They did this after separating from Great Britain After the revolutionary war. The Main cause for these articles to be ratified was because of a weak national government and from not being able to pay off the war debts frrom the American Revolution. Due to the Articles of Confederation, the small and large states got equal power in congress.

Under the Articles of confederation, there were a few strenghts and weaknesses. A law passed in 1787 called the Northwest Ordinance was a strength. It was a strength because it solved many issues about the northern territory. Alongside the strengths, there were a few weaknesses.ย  One of them was an event off a rebellion off farmers called Shays Rebellion which was led by Daniel Shays. This event was caused by tax collections from debt which a bunch of farmers were living through. This event had no major impact on the society back then.]]> 2017-01-13 00:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/146948969 ๐•ด๐–’๐–•๐–”๐–—๐–™๐–†๐–“๐–™ ๐–ˆ๐–”๐–’๐–•๐–—๐–”๐–’๐–Ž๐–˜๐–Š๐–˜ carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147237511 ย There were a few compromises which solved many problems after the Articles of Confederation. An event called The Great Compromise occurred in 1787. The Great Compromise included many plans to being solutions to some problems. The new Jersey Plan was an argument with the larger states. Small states wanted all the states to get 1 vote in congress and not being based on the state's population. The large states didn't like this plan so they opposed. But another plan arose by the the larger states which was called the Virginia plan. This plan was a proposal to as how they would run the us. This plan was representation based on population. Theย  smaller states disliked this idea since they knew the smaller states would be less in population. The connecticut plan was another plan where the large and small states agreed and this plan was about each state having 2 representatives in the upper house because it was also bicameral]]> 2017-01-15 14:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147237511 The great compromise explanation video carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147417916 heres a video to help you understand more about the great compromise]]> 2017-01-16 21:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147417916 diagram of the Great compromise carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147418683 this is a venn diagram of the great compromise]]> 2017-01-16 21:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147418683 The 3/5 compromise carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147418882 The three-fifths compromise was an argument between the northern and southern states and whether slaves should be counted in population. The northern states wanted to count slaves for taxes since they didn't rereally have many slaves there meanwhile the south had lots of slaves and didn't want to be overpowered by the south. The Southern states wannted to count the slaves for population to get more representation in congress but they also did not want to count them as property. This was a problem which was then solved by the 3/5 compromise. This compromise was introduced by James Wilson and Roger Sherman. This compromise counted slaves as 3/5 of a person and that they should be counted as population and taxes.]]> 2017-01-16 21:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147418882 My main sources carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147423260 Google.comย  ย  ย Youtube.comย  ย  rebeccacustis.weebly.com kids.usa.gov]]> 2017-01-16 22:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147423260 How to choose a president carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147423404 To choose a president, first you must vote for a group of people to represent you which is called the Electoral College.

The Founding fathers included this system so that there would not be powerful ruler like the one they previously had which was King George III. This system also works on the Branches of Government because each branch can check on each other and determine if they are getting too much power. For example if the president vetoes a law passed by congress, the congress can override the veto with 2/3 of both houses.]]> 2017-01-16 23:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147426619 An illustration of checks and balances carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147427091 2017-01-16 23:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147427091 3 Branches of Government carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147427209 2017-01-16 23:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147427209 Federalism carlos_ramosmolina https://padlet.com/carlos_ramosmolina/kv36pr6rfv2n/wish/147427262 Federalism is the Division of power between National government down to state government which would be local.
