Articles Of Confederation
what: The Articles of Confederation were written too create a set of rules for colonists too abide by. what: It had low stability, and lacked government structure, which made it weak. who:This is why later the delegates from all thirteen states rejoined too write the US Constitution, and after that the bill of rights. when: Congress agreed on articles on November 15, 1777. when: Articles confirmed and were inforced on March 1, 1781.

The 27th ammendment

(Also known as, the Congressional Pay Ammendment)
The 27th ammendment is in my opinion the simplist ammendment to date. what: It states "No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." This means, that no congressmen, has the right too change there salary in any way until the next general election has passed.
