Which of the following best characterizes relations between the English and American Indians in New England following Metacom's War?

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.

the correct answer is:

true

i am an online student and after i submit my quizzes, it gives me the correct answers to any that i may have missed. the answer to this question is true

. to apply pressure and persuasion to keep party members in the chamber in line.

the great compromise was the deal of how representation for each state in congress as written in the constitution worked. small states such as new jersey wanted each state to have an equal amount of representatives regardless of their population. bigger states such as virginia wanted each state to have representation based solely on their population. the compromise itself states there would be a senate (equal representation for each state) and a house of representatives (representation based on population).

due to this explanation, i don't really think you could say small states and large states gave up something specifically. you could say the small states gave up their want for each state to have an equal amount of representatives regardless of their population, and you could say the large states gave up their want for each state to have representation based solely on their population, but technically the great compromise worked it out really well!

or in shorter terms how they would be represented in congress.
