NHD Position

The constitution was the answer to the Articles of Confederation.  The articles of confederation gave more power to the states than the government.  The states answered with what they wanted.  The constitution gave more rights to the Government while it also protected the people with the bill of rights.  Under the constitution states couldn't break off without the government coming and taking over.  States couldn't not pay taxes or not give soldiers to the army.  Although with the bill of rights the government could do certain things or take away the rights of the people.
