Assignment:

Would the United State have survived as a nation if the Articles of Confederation had remained the framework of government? How would government and society have differed if the Articles had not been replaced by the Constitution? Was the framing and ratification of the Constitution "counterrevolutionary"? Compare and contrast the focus on religious freedom and physical enslavement. How did the United States justify slavery but accept freedom of religion? Also, how radical were the changes in the United States versus other nations, such as France which also have revolutions during this era?
