The Articles of Confederation – DBQ The Articles of Confederation failed to provide proper leadership and government to the United States economically, politically, and socially. The Confederation’s lack of control over their states led to disarray and confusion among trade and taxes. There was also an issue convincing state officials to participate in the government as well as settling disputes between the states and even other countries. The Articles of Confederation had problems getting a hold on their economic situation. The nation was quite poor from the Revolution and had loans from the French that it was unable to pay back.
Since the government could not set up a national currency, and states were allowed to make their own, this caused trade between states to be very difficult. In Joseph Jones letter to George Washington (DOC C), he wrote how war veterans felt mistreated when they were not paid and the pay that was earned did not have much value. Jones wrote “One ground of discontent in the army is the delay in complying with their requests.” By never giving congress the power to establish a set currency for the nation, money traded between each state had
No power over interstate and foreign commerce 6. Little coordination over trade (and competition among states) meant it was difficult for the nation's economy to prosper as a whole. 7. No uniform currency 8. States coined their own money and regulated its supply, so values of currency varied from state to state.
After the crash of the stock markets, the demand for agricultural goods during WWI disappeared, and as a result, rural areas of America experienced severe adversity. Banks prevented farmers from obtaining mortgages, and due to this countless businesses failed. Overproduction begun to take place in major businesses and factories, due to the fact that workers could not afford the products they helped manufacture. Numerous banks failed, and many
Particularly vulnerable groups were the old, who had no means of acquiring money. The young, were dependant on their parents’ financial status and good will, if they were not orphans. Seasonal workers were vulnerable due to the cyclical nature of their employment. Anyone who suffered from illness either long or short term fell into poverty because there were no sickness benefits. Women were another vulnerable group because they were always paid at a lower rate than men.
The movement of people into the Northwest, established the ordinance. This helped the problem of states claiming to much land because new states were coming into existence and joining the nation so there was less land to claim. The Articles established these land ordinances so the Articles did achieve something positive. The single branch government provided by the Articles of Confederation, said that there was only Congress, the legislative branch which had very
Many people did not have money to spend in businesses and businesses also took out loans that needed to be paid back. However, without business they were not making any money resulting in business failure. This also hurt the economy. After the war the price of grain dropped and farmers
The workers were not visiting the clients on a weekly basis as mandated by DCFS and paperwork was consistently late. There was chronic absenteeism, a high level of turnover, low morale, and low job satisfaction among the employees. All of the above issues adversely affect the level of care and services being provided to the client. How can Hull House Association communicate change in an effort to increase employee satisfaction and organizational productivity? Hull House’s leadership was not supportive of staff at that time.
The lack of school material, clothes, or even living in terrible conditions can lead to the not reaching their full potential due to the lack of motivation. The government in 2012 released 3.5 billion dollars to The Native American Reservations, which for 350,000 people is equivalent to 1000 dollars (Volz, “$3.4B Indian Lawsuit Ends, Disbursements to Begin”). However, how far might this money go in a struggling household? The insufficient environment that Native Americans live in is nothing like we might find in any cities in the Northwest. The lack of motivation caused by years of not having a job and watching your family suffer in poverty is a condition that not too many of us are familiar with.
Higher unemployment rates lead to a more devastating economic crisis resulting in the failure to re-elect a democratic President or more precisely, our current President. These “truths” are not openly admitted to the general population and one can argue that they do not serve to benefit the good of the people of this economic state but rather benefit the political party. One can argue that politicians are mainly focused on their personal success but aren’t all of us
