In these down times, I am taking a moment to reexamine and better understand the Constitution. The following is a look at the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation under which America arose as a nation.
On the Articles of Confederation by Michael Doyle The purpose of government As it is clearly meant Is to protect our God given rights Consent is given to secure these lights Instituted with only their just powers Dedicated to securing liberty in all hours For all citizens in the pursuit of life and liberty This then is the anchor point of our history Post-Revolution we find debt and instability A discovery of doubtfulness in our recovery The United States despite our dignity Ceded to each state their sovereignty Each state differently but to the extreme In their majoritarian, legislative supremacy From a war fought against centralized tyranny Were responsive to changes to the point of anarchy Paper money was the bane of our economy As inflated values resolved nothing in finality Religious minorities lost their protection These problems did not escape detection (c) April 29, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
