Sentence
Not what I thought it was.
Question 3 is C ... because the major downfall of the Articles of Confederation was simply weakness. The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore the fed's had no power.

Thus, in reality, they couldn't even make laws. Well, they could have on paper; but if those laws are unenforceable and untenable, then those laws are, really, irrelevant and, perhaps, even irritating because they are completely worthless (unenforceable).

Come on brutha: really, what law(s)!?!? Dude, you ain't got nothing ... it's hood rule! Or, as they say in the land of the blind, the man with one eye is King! Of course change was coming - it had to or it would have been the collapse of ANY FORM of unified governance.

Under these real and pressing constraints you've got to really give them considerable praise; they came through with a workable, comprehensive, flexible and modifiable, REVOLUTIONARY RESPONSE via a constitutional republic that was based on the precepts of democracy.

In all of recorded history this was a ... a singularly unique response. That is, indeed, a profoundly powerful AND compelling message to the rest of mankind. It did not immediately change much; hover, over time, it changed EVERYTHING !!!

REALLY COOL STUFF ..... !!!!!!!!
