'''KaraH''' -- ''In Progress''
'''1.''' There were both Foreign Policy and Financial problems with the Articles of Confederation. Due to these flaws, the Articles only lasted for eight years before they were replaced with the Constitution.
'''2.''' The first Article was the Legislative Branch which established Congress. The second was the Executive Branch, and that established the Presidential powers. Finally, the third Article is the Judicial Branch which establishes the Supreme Court.
'''3.''' The fact that he stepped down from presidency for the better of the people impresses me. Very few people would do that, they would instead try to hold onto power as long as they possibly could.
'''4.''' The cotton gin was a machine that could do the work of 50 men in pulling the cotton off of the branches. It was so powerful that the South became the main source of cotton for the entire world, causing the South to think of itself as "invincible" by the time of the Civil War.
'''5.''' It looks as if this cartoon represents the Shays' Rebellion when there was a revolt involving farmers who were angry that they were told to pay their loans in gold or silver instead of the paper money that was used in every state besides Massachusetts. The artist of the cartoon was probably thinking that they needed a new form of government when he drew this since it looks as if all the other states represented by pillars are tied together and Massachusetts is breaking off and burning.
'''6.''' The Northwest Ordinance both set how a new state could be created peacefully and notified other countries that the Northwest was now owned by the United States and also would soon be settled.
'''7.''' John Adams not only had to deal with being the man who followed in George Washington's footsteps, but he also had to deal with the respect (or lack thereof) of the other countries. Thinking of where he came from, the Alien and Sedition Acts are understandable in a way. So the most remarkable thing Adams did was he stuck it out and had the ability and courage to try to gain America respect and integrity.
