Analyze Question 7

The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government that lacked the power to levy or collect taxes directly, leaving Congress unable to enforce a tax-collection program. It did have the power to establish a postal service, regulate weights and measures, and organize the development of western lands (via the Northwest Ordinance).

Analyze Question 8

The Framers of the Constitution were generally wealthy, well-educated (more than half attended college), and many had military experience (about 40% served in the Revolutionary Army). However, they were not all slaveholders, as several prominent members from northern states did not own slaves.

Analyze Question 9

The "large-state plan" (also known as the Virginia Plan) proposed at the Constitutional Convention recommended a bicameral legislature where representation in both the House and the Senate would be based on population, favoring more populous states.
