Thank you And here's your shmoop du jour brought to

00:05

you by the founding of america Now if only we

00:08

could find our keys Come on george All right check

00:11

out the excerpt Disinclination individual states Now for a question

00:14

which of the following developments best serves as evidence for

00:17

the continuation of the excerpts argument and hear your potential

00:21

answers are increasing rites Okay well this one's no problem

00:26

As long as we keep in mind that washington is

00:28

arguing that american needs a stronger federal government Well d

00:32

claims that this idea helped to spark the french revolution

00:35

That's not true Yeah the american revolution did inspire the

00:38

french one but the french weren't all that concerned with

00:41

american frustration over the articles of confederation french were a

00:45

little too busy with more important things like sneakily naming

00:48

toast and fries after themselves Option b is also a

00:52

no The first continental congress took place in response to

00:55

the coercive Acts back when the 13 states were still

00:58

thirteen colonies So unless time travel had been invented there's

01:01

no way it could have been inspired by the ideas

01:03

in washington's letter But hey you never know that ben

01:06

Franklin was an inventive guy all right let's check out

01:09

eh The bill of rights was about guaranteeing individual freedoms

01:12

not creating a strong federal government So creating the bill

01:15

writes is wrong right We're going to say yes but

01:18

all those rights and wrongs were confusing so let's just

01:21

move on to see Luckily for us that happens to

01:23

be our correct answer George washington wasn't alone when it

01:27

came to his wish for a stronger more centralized government

01:30

Despite the protests of many state governments important political leaders

01:34

decided to put an end to the limitations of the

01:36

articles of confederation They replaced the articles with the constitution

01:40

which created a strong federal government that was kept in

01:43

it's place by various checks and balances these days We

01:46

also have the media to keep the government in check

01:49

and yoga to keep them balanced It seems to be

01:52

working so far Um
