Description

Describe at least three major differences between the Articles of Confederation and the original Constitution submitted to the people for ratification in 1787.

How are these documents similar? How are they different? Provide specific references to provisions in both the Articles and the Constitution to support your conclusions. How does the Constitution seek to remedy the Vices of the political system Madison identifies in his essay?

Is the move from the Articles to the Constitution an alteration of government, or did it constitute an abolition of the old government and the establishment of a new one based on different principles more conducive to safety and happiness? Defend your conclusion.
