Roman Caposino September 3rd-9th, 2013 Chapter II Questions AP Government/Politics At the time of the Revolution, most colonists believed that English politicians tended to be corrupt, and therefore the English constitution by which these politicians governed was not an adequate guarantee of the liberty of the citizens. Colonists believed that their rights and liberties were supplied by God, and included life, liberty, and property. To the colonists, the revolution was a war of political liberties rather than economic issue. The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation: The government could not levy taxes or regulate commerce. Each state retained its sovereignty and independence.

Articles of Confederation vs. the Constitution ???? The following chart compares some of the provisions of the Articles of Confederation with those in the Constitution. It's important to note that most commentators see the Articles period (1781-1789) as a weak one in terms of governmental power. Whether that is a positive or negative for the United States depends on one's point of view regarding the size and influence of a national government. Some would view the Articles period as the pinnacle of American freedom, while those favoring a strong central government would see it as a failure. ?? ?? Articles of Confederation Constitution Levying taxes Congress could request states to pay taxes Congress has right to levy taxes on individuals Federal courts
