The Articles of Confederation

     When the founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence they knew they would need a government once the revolutionary war was over. Without the articles the country might not be considered legitimate by other countries and would have difficulty with treaties and trade agreements. They wrote the Articles of Confederation to form a government which gave virtually all powers to the individual states. Many nationalists thought the articles did not provide for a strong enough government but since the war was on everyone agreed to ratify it. The nationalists didn't like the fact that the government could not regulate trade between the states. After the war was over the Constitution was written. It gave the government much more power and with the Bill of Rights gave us a much better government than the Articles of Confederacy did.

No Government..99 Problems and it's all humans

     The government today provides us with so many things to keep us safe and protected with our rights and freedom. Without a government, life would be extremely chaotic. The freedom we have now may not be something that would be managed without a government. The things we do in our every day life would be a drastic change. Going to school would be a matter of a choice and not a law that would force us. Jobs would not be available at a professional level. The things we see today that are considered unlawful would be an everyday life that we live. There would be no such thing as jail. We would be living with criminals and mental ill individuals with no help or guidance to help these people or put them to a place that they need to be. We are use to our everyday life so for one day to wake up with no laws or rules to follow by, it would be chaotic. Not all humans are the best things to regulate on their own time period. The mentally challenged, mental ill or people who seek to thrill dangerous life events could completely go wrong in every way. People who get injured, or car accidents, emergency personal would not be able to be there to help or there would be no help at all.        For instance, the movie called The Purge is an excellent example to what could happen 24 hours a day with no government. They have no rules what so ever and there is no such thing as 911 to come rescue you. It is a complete battle from human to human. So if there is no government, you could get shot for pissing someone off. You could be eating a family dinner and all of a sudden a different family comes and takes over your house due to jealously of the awe people have to your home. It would not be a life I would want to live.
