Confidential Report, September 1787
Dear commander,
Under the Articles of Confederation the Congress
has the powers to make foreign treaties, declare war, print and borrow money,
set up mail delivery systems, make rules for setting up western lands, also
they had the power to raise and lead army and navy. Collect taxes, Make foreign treaties,
declare war, print and borrow money, set up mail delivery system, make rules
for setting up western lands, raise and lead army and navy, send soldiers and
officers to the army and navy, establish courts to settle disputes, and elect
or appoint leaders to enfore the law are all strengths of the new government
under the Articles of Confederation. The
weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation is the lack to control serious issues
like taxes on trade goods and the need for one common currency. People did not
react good to this new government. Businessmans business was great but they did
not like the violence and they want a stronger government. Farmers felt they
need to postpone taxes until things get better because taxes was so high and
they couldn't take care of there families and they going to lose there farm and
go to prison and if the tax situation don't improve they will cause more
attacks.
I
think the tax situation will not get better so therefore it will be a lot of
violence.
