The Articles of Confederation

[Carp]

In Civics :: Week 5, Part D, you were introduced to both the advantages and the disadvantages of the Articles of Confederation.  If you need to review them, the link takes you that point in the video.

Do you think that the Articles of Confederation might have been successful if the Continental Congress could have modified the document to "fix" the disadvantages (i.e., the lack of taxation powers or the power to establish a national currency)?

[ryan thomas]

Yes, because the population would had increased and the economic system would increase too. 

[sharniece jelks]

I really do believe the Articles of Confederation would have been successful with the added parts that would benefit the economy.

the population would increase.
the system would increase in too
but it they still wont b able to compromise. they still dont like each other money

[Ashlee ryals]

[Armani Thomas]

[Raenesha Reynolds]

[david clark]

Yes i think the articles of confederation would have been successful, because all 13 colonies would have been happy. Also there would have been less conflict

[david clark]

I agree Devonte, the government would have change, because there wouldn't have been any disagreements

[Jerome Sawyer]

I agree Ashlee!

[Ashlee ryals]

[Darnel Dubose]

Okay David how would the colonies be happy and less conflicted?

[Ashlee ryals]

I think david is saying that because they could all get what they want.... Therefore less con.
