clearly an example of which of the following late eighteenth
- 00:21
century trends and here your potential answers are increasing opposition
- 00:25
and great well looks like g dobbs was worried that
- 00:29
the individual states had way too much power under the
- 00:31
articles of confederation This means we can just get rid
- 00:34
of a right off the bat supporters of federalism We're
- 00:37
all about a strong central national government not a loose
- 00:40
confederation of states The washington wasn't arguing against federalism He
- 00:45
was arguing for it Which kind of makes sense coming
- 00:48
from a guy who ended up being the first president

before george washington was worried that america's decentralized government under
- 01:25
the articles of confederation wasn't strong enough to keep the
- 01:27
nation together No surprise then that he was one of
- 01:30
several leaders whose arguments for federalism eventually led to the
- 01:34
crafting of the modern strong centralized american government even though
- 01:39
our bipartisan ism would have him rolling over in his
- 01:41
grave Sorry george maybe you could take out your anger 00:01:44.509 --> [endTime] on that cherry tree for you
