The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, as they were styled, were predicated on unanimity. Submitted to the colonies in 1777, they were not ratified until the last state acceded in early 1781. The Congress of the United States established by the Articles was similarly constrained, unable to enact legislation without the unanimous vote of all states (which had one vote each). Even where the new national powers were theoretically broad, therefore, they were practically constrained by the veto power wielded by any dissenting state.

The Articles failed to grant the new national government any general taxing power—hardly surprising given the role of taxes in the still-raging Revolutionary War. Instead, they established that the charges of war, and other expenses incurred for the common defense or general welfare, would be defrayed out of a common treasury supplied by the states (Article VIII). The national government was also empowered to borrow (Article XII) and to sell western lands, an expedient to which it frequently turned.

States themselves had broad powers of taxation, though they were prohibited from adopting imposts or duties which interfered with treaty obligations (Article VI) or from levying special taxes on individuals or goods from other states (Article IV). In practice, however, the national government lacked the means and authority to enforce these prohibitions, complicating treaty negotiations (foreign powers expressed reluctance to enter into agreements which the American states might freely disregard) and ultimately devolving into state laws in conflict with the Articles.

But on an april morning in 1959, i heard a mother of four, having coffee with four other mothers in a suburban development fifteen miles from new york, say in a tone of quiet desperation, “the problem.” and the others knew, without words, that she was not talking about a problem with her husband, or her children, or her home. suddenly they realized they all shared the same problem, the problem that has no name. which best describes the connotation of the word “desperation”? negative, because the woman is feeling confused negative, because the woman is expressing hopelessness positive, because the woman is expressing herself positive, because the woman and the mothers are in agreement
