The Articles of Confederation
True of False questions

The Articles of Confederation and The Constitution are different in many ways. The Articles of Confederation did not have a strong national government, but the Constitution is very strong. After Shay's Rebellion, people got worried that the Articles were not working very well. The Constitution must be working well because we are still using it. That is why you should approve The Constitution for our nations history.
