SOMEONE HELP PLEASE The Articles of Confederation and the
Constitution Slide Presentation
The essential qualities of the American government came about through trial and error in the period from
1781 to 1789 when the country was governed under the Articles of Confederation. That period made
clearer to Americans what kind of government they wanted. The biggest distinction between the Articles of
Confederation and the Constitution was whether the central or state governments should have sovereign
power over various functions.
Create a slide presentation in which you analyze the Constitution by 1) listing where various functions of
government lie. Make sure you 2) list and contrast powers exclusive to the state, 3) powers exclusive to the
nation, and, finally, 4) shared powers.
Also, include the 5) Key issues during the ratification debate which were argued by the Federalists and
Anti-Federalists. Have slides that 6) summarize three aspects of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist debate: their
views, their campaigns, and the result in the Constitution of their specific positions.

Excerpt from momotaro, or "little peachling" japanese folktale momotaro finding that he excelled every body in strength determined to cross over to the island of the devils, take their riches, and come back. he at once consulted with the old man and the old woman about the matter, and got them to make him some dumplings. these he put in his pouch. besides this he made every kind of preparation for his journey to the island of the devils and set out. then first a dog came to the side of the way and said; "momotaro! what have you there hanging at your belt? " he replied: "i have some of the very best japanese millet dumplings." "give me one and i will go with you," said the dog. so momotaro took a dumpling out of his pouch and gave it to the dog. then a monkey came and got one the same way. a pheasant also came flying and said: "give me a dumpling too, and i will go i along with you." so all three went along with him. in no time they arrived at the island of the devils, and at once broke through the front gate; momotaro first; then his three followers. here they met a great multitude of the devil's retainers who showed fight, but they pressed still inwards, and at last encountered the chief of the devils, called akandoji. then came the tug of war. akandoji made at momotaro with an iron club, but momotaro was ready for him, and dodged him adroitly. at last they grappled each other, and without difficulty momotaro just crushed down akandoji and tied him with a rope so tight that he could not even move. all this was done in a fair fight. what might reasonably be assumed about traditional japanese culture from this portion of the passage?
