Review and discuss yesterdays assignment
Compare and Contrast the Articles of Confederation to the US constitution.
Under the Articles of Confederation, no provisions were made for an executive branch to enforce the laws nor for a national court system to interpret them. A legislative Congress was the sole organ of the national government, but it had no power to force the states to do anything against their will.
In 1791, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution made the states' rights doctrine more explicit: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
After comparing the main points of each document, explain some current political arguments that could be supported by the articles of confederation which favors more states rights.
