History Questions on Articles of Confederation

The first two questions are three and four from the Section Review, the next two were written on the board:

• Draw a diagram to summarize the strengths and weaknesses of the Confederation government.
• Imagine you are on a committee to write a new state constitution. List three freedoms you want attached to your state's constitution. Explain why you believe it is important to guarantee those rights.
• What problems -- internally and externally -- did the states face?
• How did the United States handle expansion into the West?

I am looking for detail and specificity in your answers. I will collect them on Friday.
