<p>Congress dudes worked in a way that Andrew Johnson suspended a person in his cabinet. Remmeber, Congress had shrewdly introduced a law before stating that President needs to ask the congress for any reshuffling in cabinet. But poor Johnson didn’t.</p>
<p>Why was Andrew Johnson impeached?</p>
<p>Andrew Johnson was impeached because he violated the Office of Tenure ACt passed by the Radical Republicans for firing a radical republican from the Senate. THe bigger reason was that the Radical Republicans were against his lenient Reconstruction policies that seemed to favor the Confederates. He actually switched his loyalties during his term I think</p>
<p>“Why was Andrew Johnson impeached?”</p>
<p>Because he fired the Secretary of War, Stanton, which violated the something-or-other Act that Congress had passed to prevent the President from firing any cabinet members without Congressional permission. Gah… I really need to review these facts.</p>
<p>Q: What was “The Holy Experiment”?</p>
<p>Johnson was impeached for firing Stanton without the consent of Congress, which went against the Tenure Office Act. Congress wanted Johnson out so the congressmen intentionally set up this law. Radical Republicans wanted to pass their legislation, the most prominent of which is the Congressional Reconstruction, which would put into effect more punitive measures for the South. The details of which are fuzzy in my head right now, so I will get back to you guys with that information.</p>
<p>Holy Experiment - no idea. One of the colonies, perhaps?</p>
<p>How did the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution differ?</p>
<p>artic;e of confed- was a loose central gov; success was at governing western land boundaries, etc
constitution- string central gov</p>
<p>holy experiment was soemthing to do with prohibition right</p>
<p>the holy experiment…was it Pennsylvania?</p>
<p>The Articles of Confederations did not allocate power to the government to levy taxes. So to remedy that, and other problems with government, the Constituition set up a government of checks and balances that will ensure the people can effectively run their own lives without any one of the three branches overextending its power. The main difference between these two constituitions is that the Constinituition is more organized and has the means in order to effectively handle governmental issues.</p>
<p>The Holy Experiment was in Pennsylvania, but that is all I remember.</p>
<p>Q: What are the provisions of the Volstead Act?</p>
<p>Prohibition was the…noble experiment</p>
<p>Not holy</p>
<p>Good guess. It was Pennsylvania; William Penn wanted to test his ideas based on Quaker beliefs by providing a refuge for Quakers and other persecuted people…</p>
<p>The Articles of Confederation provided only for a unicameral legislature (one-house Congress), whereas the Constitution provides a bicameral legislature (two-house Congress consisting of the House and the Senate); the Articles didn’t provide for a “balance of power,” whereas the Constitution did by creating separate judicial, executive, and legislative branches. Also, the Articles provided for a relatively weak central government, while more power resided with the federal government (rather than the individual states) with the Constitution…</p>
<p>I know there was just a question about Potsdam, but these are pretty important:</p>
<p>Q: Who was at each of the following meetings, and what (in general) was discussed?
- Casablanca
- Teheran
- Yalta
- Potsdam</p>
<p>Q: What are the provisions of the Volstead Act?</p>
<p>The manufacture and sale of beer or wine were prohibited…</p>
<p>Q: What are the provisions of the Volstead Act?</p>
<p>Reinforced 18th Amendment aka prohibition of the distribution and manufacture of alcoholic beverages.</p>
<p>Articles of Confederation had a unicameral Congress, Constitution had House of Representatives and Senate.</p>
<p>Articles didn’t have a president, only a committee of thirteen from each state for executive, Constitution, obviously, had a president.</p>
<p>To be amended, the Articles needed unanimous consent. For the Constitution to be amended, an amendment is proposed either by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress or by a special convention called upon the request of two-thirds of the state legislatures. Amendments are ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures or state conventions.</p>
<p>Both could make war, make treaties, determine the amount of troops and money each state could contribute to war effort, settle disputes between states, admit new states to the Union, and borrow money.</p>
<p>The articles fed gov. couldn’t levy taxes, raise troops, or regulate commerce. The Constitution gov could.</p>
<p>Essentially, the Articles sucked, whereas the Constitution was much better, giving more power to the federal government.</p>
