Describe the government under, and powers given by, the Articles of Confederation.
The Articles of Confederation created a national government composed of a Congress, which had the power to declare war, appoint military officers, sign treaties, make alliances, appoint foreign ambassadors, and manage relations with Indians. ... Under the Articles, the states, not Congress, had the power to tax.
Answer:
The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union were the first constitutional basis of the United States and precursors of the United States Constitution of 1787. Their rules were based essentially on the principle of national sovereignty. After the Continental Congress passed them on November 15, 1777, they were in force after their three-year ratification from 1781 to 1789.
The international legal regulations of the Articles of Confederation rested on the principle of the complete sovereignty of the individual states. Thus, they effectively established an American confederation, which, however, had some structural deficiencies and quickly failed.
From the beginning of the Confederation, its legislature, the Continental Congress, was not allowed to raise its own taxes. Contributions from member states should contribute to the functioning of the Confederation organs, but most member states did not comply with this convention. For this reason, the Confederation was unable to provide its members with military protection against the increasing intervention of the European powers.
In addition, most Member States did not feel obliged to accept arrangements made in the Confederation. Since the latter lacked both enforcement and sanction possibilities, the scope of action of the Confederation was always limited. An important political and economic obstacle and expression of fragmentation, for example, was the increasing demarcation of the member states by protective tariffs, which the Continental Congress was also powerless for, for example, they had the opportunity to withdraw from the Confederation.
To cope with these abuses, the Philadelphia Convention was convened. Actually, it was initially only to discuss the possibility of improvements in the state organization and to find a wording of the articles to reassure the individual states that feared for their power. In the end, however, it presented a completely new draft Constitution, which, in contrast to the Articles of Confederation, demanded a strong federal government as an executive body. This was to take over the powers of the individual states, above all in questions of foreign policy, foreign trade and national defense.
In retrospect, the Articles of Confederation have, historically, nevertheless established the everlasting Union of North American States.

10 percent
20 percent
25 percent
30 percent
My most educated guess would be 30 percent. I'm assuming there is approximately 235,248,000 people of age to vote in the world. You would need 766,200 of them to petition it. 10 or 20 percent wouldn't work, so I plugged in 25 percent, and it was a little low. After multiplying 30 x 766,200, it was equal to 229,860,000. Therefore, my best guess is 30 percent. I hope I helped! :)

The U.S. Got involved in this Caribbean Island nations politics to try and keep an Socialist leader from power.
Final answer:
The United States intervened in Cuban politics to prevent socialist leader Fidel Castro from gaining power, as part of a broader U.S. foreign policy to contain communism in the Caribbean and protect American economic interests.
Explanation:
The involvement of the United States in Cuban politics was largely driven by the attempt to suppress a socialist leader, Fidel Castro, from coming to power. The strategic significance of Cuba, being just ninety miles from the U.S. mainland, ushered in a period of U.S. foreign policy focused on containing communism and preventing Soviet influence in the Caribbean.
The U.S. was engaged in Cuba through various operations, including supporting the Democratic Revolutionary Front, which aimed to invade Cuba and overthrow Castro's government. During the Cold War, a broader strategy of supporting anti-communist dictators, dubbed the "Our Dictator" philosophy, was employed across Latin America to curb communist expansion.
These actions were part of a historical context where the U.S. had deep economic interests in the region and often took measures to sustain U.S. dominance and protect American commercial interests. Despite their efforts in Cuba, Castro's government remained in power, symbolizing a complex chapter in U.S.-Latin American relations, marked by interventions and the strategic play against the spread of communism throughout the hemisphere.
