Constitution – Assignment Two

Constitutional Convention

The first attempt at creating an effective government for the United States of America failed. This attempt was called the Articles of Confederation. This document showed how fearful the people were of establishing too strong of a government. The states were also fearful of losing power to a national government. THEY LIMITED THE POWER OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TOO MUCH IN THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION.
