After American Revolution Life

Soon after the American Revolution, people began to notice that there needed to be some changes to their new free lifestyle, in result they changed the the social, political, and economical aspects. They then started to shape a baseline of a new government that of being opposite to Great Britain's. In the process of recreating their new government people didn’t know their place in the new society. They had to be established as well they had to start from nothing to get us to where we are today.

The Articles of Confederation was later found to be inefficient, because it was not allowed tax, and gave states the power to control their own government. They believed they were apart of “the league of friendship” , which means they must not wage war, and live peacefully. James Madison goes into many aspects of what might happen if they continue with
