Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774 1789, Vol. 19: 1781, January 1-April 23 In the history of the Continental Congress the year 1781 is of great importance, because it shows the development of the idea that a stronger Federal Government than that which had existed up to that time was necessary. On March 1 the Maryland delegates signed the Articles of Confederation, thus completing that instrument and making it effective, and at length the United States had a constitution; but, on March 6, Varnum, of Rhode Island, offered a resolution, "that a committee be appointed to digest such additional articles to the Act of Confederation to be exercised during the war as shall be deemed necessary to be proposed to the respective States for their ratification," and, on the same day, Varnum, Duane, and Madison were appointed a committee "to prepare a plan to invest the United States in Congress assembled with full and explicit powers for effectually carrying into execution in the several States all acts or resolutions passed agreeably to the Articles of Confederation." The committee´s report was considered on May 2. It proposed that the States be asked for an additional article to the Articles of Confederation, which should confer upon Congress the right to employ the forces of the United States, by land or sea, to compel any delinquent State to fulfil its Federal engagements. The additional article was to be binding when enacted by all the States not in the possession of the enemy. The recommendation was referred to a grand committee, consisting of a member from each State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
