Patrick Henry favored state sovereignty, and a confederacy of states for general purposes. I don’t see why that can’t work. It wasn’t given a chance. Instead of amending the Articles to correct errors in the confederacy, they went for a strong national government. But then, I already said that several posts ago, regarding backtracking. I guess in all your emotionalism and gibberish, you forgot.

What were the errors in the Articles and how would you have corrected them?

Instead of amending the Articles to correct errors in the confederacy . . . In your opinion, what were the errors? What would you and Patrick Henry have done?
