Read these passages from James Madison’s notes on the Constitutional Convention. MR. L. MARTIN proposed to . . . allow a prohibition or tax on the importation of slaves. . . . [The slave trade] was inconsistent with the principles of the revolution, and dishonorable to the American character . . . .

Mr. RUTLEDGE. If the Convention thinks that North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia will ever agree to the plan, unless their right to import slaves be untouched, the expectation is vain.

–James Madison
August 21–22, 1787

Which statement would Madison most likely have agreed with, and why?

Martin’s statement because Madison did not think that the legislative branch of the federal government should regulate trade

Martin’s statement because Madison believed that the practice of slavery contradicted the principles of the new government

Rutledge’s statement because Madison also wanted to bring an eventual end to the slave trade in the United States

Rutledge’s statement because Madison opposed the federal government’s policy of taxation

answer: to communicate with people on the other side.

explanation:

question: write a report analyzing through articles of confederation.

answer: the articles of confederation the united states constitution was written when the people feared strong government the new nation needed some kind of organization to hold states together to them fend off future attacks and make a stronger support system through the states and people the states bonded through a friendship that best served as a defense against a invasion and states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations the strengths were that the congress has the highest power in the nation because of   fear of monarchy congress had the sole power to declare war and assign treaties disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress and weaknesses were the lack of power given to congress the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws if a state did not support a federal law that state could simply ignore it congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade.

explanation: so like every argument they have strengths and weaknesses but in this case there were more weaknesses but they managed o get through it and make an agreement
