Document Summary

The constitution made the national government very different than how it was under the. Articles (created a relationship with the states and people). About a dozen years after the invention of the articles of confederation, we managed to create a second form of a confederation at the time. For example, through representatives, people are given more power, and through amendments, we democracy that we implemented. The people of the constitution were very upset about the. Confederation (cid:523)wasn"t working, needed to get rid of it(cid:524). There weren"t many alternatives to election votes (cid:523)much of the product of state officials" efforts(cid:524) and gave minority groups . The right to vote. passed a law abolishing slavery, making the u. s. more democratic. Over time, we expanded: in 1781, the united states is born and a national/central government is put together under the first u. s. constitution (the articles of confederation) Under this doctrine, each of the 13 states is sovereign and independent.
