THE AOC REVIEWED


The Articles of Confederation 

  • America's First Gov't 
  • 1776-1787
  • One Branch 
    • Legislative (makes laws/Congress)
    • 13 members (one vote per state)
  • Example of FEDERALISM 
    • Power SHARED by the STATES and the FEDERAL GOV'T
    • VERY WEAK 
      • States did not trust a strong Fed. 
        • NO: 
          • President, Courts, Taxes, Military 
  • The Good 
    • NW Ordinance (1787) 
      • Plan to admit states into the Union 
  • The Bad 
    • Fed. Gov't was TOO WEAK 
      • Needed 9/13 states to pass a law 
      • Needed 13/13 to AMEND (change) the AOC 
  • The UGLY 
    • Shay's Rebellion 
      • Shows that the AOC is BROKEN and needs to be replaced
