Civil War Doomsday Clock

[SuburbanFarmer]

I said that the Revolution never would have happened under the Articles of Confederation. The states couldn’t cooperate.

whooosshhhhhhhh

The Articles formed a war-time confederation of states, with an extremely limited central government. While unratified, the document was used by the Congress to conduct business, direct the American Revolutionary War, conduct diplomacy with foreign nations, and deal with territorial issues and Native American relations. The adoption of the Articles made few perceptible changes in the federal government, because it did little more than legalize what the Continental Congress had been doing. That body was renamed the Congress of the Confederation; but Americans continued to call it the Continental Congress, since its organization remained the same.

If this ignorant dumb ass ever read a fucking book he might have known that his same argument was used as a punching bag in 1787 when anti-federalists pointed out that the articles had been functional enough to defeat the most powerful empire on earth and secure American independence.

Yeah, along with half of Europe.

[SuburbanFarmer]

You're a colossally stupid person.

No, you.

"I know you are, but what am i??"

Didn't that shit go out of style by like grade 3?

Was being ironic.

[Okeefenokee]

Grade school mistake. You didn’t even watch the video I posted, to make it easy for you.

The Articles of Confederation weren’t ratified until 1781. 5 years into the war.

Because the states. Couldn’t. Work. Together.

Told you this fucking dunce wouldn't admit he was wrong.

[clubgop]

So no more nuance we have now moved to ironic being the word of choice when caught being a dumbass in an argument?

Talk about moving the goalpost, first it was all the continental population then when that lie gets exposed we move to half of Europe then when he has to admit to that lie it'll be France uber alles or some shit.

Sometimes the misuse of the word "ironic" is itself ironic. Whoa, dude; meta.

He can read, which is obvious, he just refuses to comprehend. I have Autism, but at least I can comprehend the basic foundations and functions of the US, before the US constitution.

[Speaker to Animals]

Confederation, not federation.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The corrupt process of the 1787 counter-revolution did at least result in some compromises, i.e., the Bill of Rights.

https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/about/ ... amendment/

Adoption of the Constitution of 1787 was opposed by a number of well-known patriots including Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and others. They passionately argued that the Constitution would eventually lead to a strong, centralized state power which would destroy the individual liberty of the People. Many in this movement were given the poorly-named tag “Anti-Federalists.”

The Tenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of 1787 largely because of the intellectual influence and personal persistence of the Anti-Federalists and their allies.

It’s quite clear that the Tenth Amendment was written to emphasize the limited nature of the powers delegated to the federal government. In delegating just specific powers to the federal government, the states and the people, with some small exceptions, were free to continue exercising their sovereign powers.

The Tenth Amendment Center is a pretty hip place if you haven't found it before.
