https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z Why do you think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way that they did? Any potential problems that you see? en-us 2018-01-02 23:40:24 UTC 2018-01-19 15:05:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png 3005329 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453678 I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because they didn't want the events that happened to them with Great Britain to be repeated. Some problems that I see are that all the colonies have a lot of power to themselves, which can eventually break out into a war between the colonies themselves. ]]> 2018-01-18 15:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453678 3007415 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453732 I think that Articles of Confederation the way they did because they wanted all of the states to be independent, as well as all the colonists to have a say in the laws. One of the problems might be too much power over the colonies, which can lead to overruling the government. Another problem might be conflicts between the states, since the government will not help out in state rivalries, according to the confederation. ]]> 2018-01-18 15:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453732 2050801 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453745 They had many fears that they would become another Britain, which was what they were trying to get away from in the first place. Some of the Articles were too fair, making the government very weak with almost no power. Disputes and other conflicts could go on forever between states without the Congress to be able to stop it. The colonies probably could overrule all the Congress' actions and put the Congress "out of business".]]> 2018-01-18 15:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453745 3000534 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453787 They shaped the Articles of Confederation like that because they believed that the government had to have little power, and the states could make their own decisions and options. Although this sounded good in the beginning, later on, the government would not be able to settle issues, or have a proper army, or have enough money. This could possibly weaken the nation and eventually collapse it due to too much power being associated with the 13 states.]]> 2018-01-18 15:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222453787 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222454657 The Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did because it could give each state its own power and freedom. This could also cause financial problems because the citizens do not pay the tax as much and because of that the Government could end up in a down fall and in financial depths.]]> 2018-01-18 15:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222454657 3002078 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222455318 I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did so then they wouldn't have any repeated problems. Also they wanted to be fair to all of the states so then there would not be any problems between the states. Some features might be a problem because it gives the states less hope in their congress and makes them have less confidence in the congress(they do not have a good army/a lot of money) ]]> 2018-01-18 15:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222455318 3000960 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222456322 The Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way that they did because they did not want what happen to the British, happen again. That also meant every state has the same rights. Everyone gets what they want. This can cause things to be slow because everyone has to agree.]]> 2018-01-18 15:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222456322 30000321 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222456838 I think that they shaped the articles of confederation the way they did because they wanted to give the states independence, and in order for that to happen the government had to have little control over them. Some of the potential problems might have been that the states would have disagreements and the congress didn't have a lot of power so they wouldn't be able to settle it. ]]> 2018-01-18 15:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222456838 ldieun https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222458063 I think that the Continental Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way that they did because they wanted the states to have a say and not give the government a lot of power.

To make their nation different than how it was when King George III ruled over them. This may cause potential problem because they may not get very far when attempting to give each state their own independence and freedom. Rather than being united will lead to their government won't prove very effective. ]]> 2018-01-19 14:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222800674 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222800681 The initial purpose for the Articles of Confederation was to change what they didn't like about the government in Britain and that left many problems. They may not have liked the amount of power the government had, but they chose to put all the power to the people. That left America without any leaders and indecisive about any major decisions. Even with the people in power, they needed a leader to make the tough calls.]]> 2018-01-19 14:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222800681 3006997 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222801129 I think that Congress shaped the Articles of Confederation the way they did was to not give the government too much power and trying to make sure that the colonists aren't overwhelemd]]> 2018-01-19 14:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222801129 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222801241 I think they shaped the Articles of Confederation the way that they did because they wanted everybody to have equal independence and freedom]]> 2018-01-19 14:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222801241 https://padlet.com/angela_smith1/yjwucz2ajw9z/wish/222802211 They did this so the same thing wouldn't repeat itself.
