Articles of Confederation

You need to have notes for sections 1 and 2 of chapter 2 by now.

Guiding questions for section 3 are:
     1. What was holding the colonies together under the Articles of Confederation?
          a. How was representation apportioned?
          b. How were decisions passed / enforced?
     2. What were the weaknesses of the articles?
     3. How did the following events highlight those weaknesses?
          a. New Jersey / New York farmers imposing tariffs
          b. shay's rebellion
     4. Is there irony in the colonists' need for stronger government?
