|Articles of Confederation
These were among the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation of 1777 that the Founding Fathers set out to correct at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The inability to conduct a unified foreign policy, maintain national security, adjudicate differences between the various states, and properly fund activities required of the central government were widely recognized as weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation requiring urgent remediation after a single decade.
Even as conservative's claim they want this nation to return to the values of the Founding Fathers and strict interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, in their ignorance they are actually calling for the country to return to a system, as embodied in the Articles of Confederation, that demonstrably failed. The Founding Fathers observed its failures and recognized the urgent necessity of a stronger central government and presidency and greater ability for the federal government to collect taxes sufficient to meet its responsibilities. Hence the Constitutional Convention.
Panderbear is perpetually bemused by the ignorance of history, Founding Fathers' intent, and U.S. Constitution of those who refer to these icons ad nauseum to support their anachronistic political views. They have constructed a grossly inaccurate mythology of constitution and Founding Fathers and now worship them to the detriment of our nation.
"Hii ni moja ya ""maelezo ya udhaifu"" wa Mkataba wa Shirikisho wa 1777, ambayo Baba wa Mwanzilishi aliamua kurekebisha katika Mkutano wa Katiba wa 1787." Kutokuwa na uwezo wa kuendesha sera ya kigeni ya umoja, kudumisha usalama wa kitaifa, kuamua tofauti kati ya majimbo mbalimbali, na kufadhili vizuri shughuli zinazohitajika kwa serikali kuu zilitambuliwa sana kama udhaifu wa Makala ya Confederation ambayo inahitaji kurekebishwa haraka baada ya muongo mmoja. "Wanajeshi wa Marekani wanadai kwamba wanataka taifa hilo lirudi kwenye maadili ya ""Fathers Founding"" na tafsiri kali ya Katiba ya Marekani, lakini kwa ujinga wao, wanadai nchi hiyo irudi kwenye mfumo uliowekwa katika Makala ya Muungano ambao umeshindwa." "Wazazi wa Marekani waliona kushindwa kwake na kutambua uhitaji wa haraka wa serikali ya kati yenye nguvu na urais na uwezo mkubwa kwa serikali ya shirikisho kukusanya kodi ya kutosha kukidhi majukumu yake. """ Kwa hiyo Mkutano wa Katiba. Panderbear amesumbuliwa daima na ujinga wa historia, nia ya Wazazi wa Kuanzisha, na Katiba ya Marekani ya wale ambao wanataja icons hizi ad nauseam kuunga mkono maoni yao ya kisiasa ya anachronistic. """Wamejenga hadithi isiyo sahihi kabisa ya katiba na waanzilishi wa nchi na sasa wanaabudu kwa madhara ya taifa letu."
