| ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY: THE BIRTH OF AMERICAN FEDERALISM | | On November 15, 1777, a pivotal moment in American history unfolded as the Continental Congress approved the Articles of Confederation, laying the foundation for the United States' journey towards a more perfect union. The Articles of Confederation, often considered the precursor to the U.S. Constitution, marked a critical step in the early days of the American Republic. This document reflected the nation's struggle for balance between states' rights and a centralized federal government.
Under the Articles of Confederation, the United States functioned as a loose confederation of sovereign states, each retaining significant autonomy. However, as the years passed, it became evident that this arrangement was fraught with challenges, leading to a desire for a more robust federal system. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 would eventually replace the Articles of Confederation with the U.S. Constitution, reshaping the nation's governance and ensuring its enduring strength as a united, democratic republic. November 15th stands as a vital milestone in America's journey toward the creation of a more perfect union, where the principles of liberty, justice, and democracy could thrive. | | | Trump is on the $2 Bill | | | Did you hear the news?
