I’ve read similar assertions about the Articles of Confederation dozens of times at FR. Assertions only, devoid of elaboration.
I’d welcome a post, vanity or otherwise, which defends the AC on its merits, without using the usual straw man, “it was better than the Constitution.”
If you can stand behind your claim with an FR post, please ping me.
Well, I’m not going to spend the hours necessary to write an article on the articles of confederation for much the same reason I don’t spent a lot of time on Article V : I view it as a waste of time. Harmless, and probably more interesting than stamp collecting, but still a waste of time.
The Articles of Confederation are long dead. To the victor go the spoils (and the authorship of history), so its really sort of irrelevant in any case. What we have now is a constitution with greatly centralized powers. The question as it relates to article V is what should be done about the text of that document. I’m of the view that “nothing” is the best answer.
What I will do, though, if you’re interested is ping a few links to articles I’ve read over time regarding the A o C.
