Is This Any Way to Run a Country by ttms on 10-19-2015
The Northwest Ordinance
Now look what's going on, another ordinance!
This one will help set up a government in the Northwest Territory, and it wil provide a plan for admitting states into the Union. This one is going to be very important.
Everything Wrong with the Articles
Welp turns out the Articles blew. They are so weak. They can't tax, they can't regulate trade, they can't even enforce laws.
That isn't even the half of it. There is no central leader or group, there is no national court system that existed, congress can't pass laws untill the approval of 9 states, and can't change the Articles unless all thirteen states approve.
Shays's Rebillion
It just keeps getting better and better. A farmer named Danial Shays lead a group of 1200 protesters because the MA courts threatened to take away his land because of the heavy taxes he owed.
I think this a wake up call for the country to clean up their.
