Explanation:

The New Frontier was the political motto advocated by John F. Kennedy, at the Los Angeles Democratic Convention, July 14, 1960, during the United States presidency mandate conference to indicate the frontiers of science and space. In a period of internal economic stagnation and a strong contrast with the Soviet Union, Kennedy said: "We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier—the frontier of the 1960s, the frontier of unknown opportunities and perils, the frontier of unfilled hopes and unfilled threats". From that time this expression summarized the renewing political action initiated by the Kennedy administration, both in the relaxation and disarmament of nuclear weapons, and in domestic politics with the projects of war on poverty and unemployment, a material and physical wellbeing more solid and more widely distributed, the laws in favor of education and the provision of law against racial discrimination in public places, in schools of all levels, in the armed forces and in public and state enterprises, to reinforce the struggles for civil rights started by the protest movement of African Americans.

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. 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. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
