The third article in our Constitution goes over the Judiciary Branch. The first section states how the Judicial Power shall be vested (#26), the second section goes over the scope of Judicial Power (#27), and the third simply states the ways an individual can be tried for treason and who holds the power when deciding the punishment for treason (#28). While the Articles of Confederation established a maritime judiciary system, the Constitution established a federal judiciary system, including the Supreme Court. Again clearly the U. S Constitution wins this round, and it is certainly not looking for the the Articles of Confederation.

By 1784 the county was in bad shape. And with the states ununited and unrest mounting in the backshadows of the entire country, a former Revolutionary Army captain who was disgusted with the unrest he was viewing led a rebellion by farmers against disturbed economic conditions and against politicians and laws which were grossly unfair to farmers and working people in general. And on January 25, 1787, Shays led 2000 rebels to Springfield, MA to storm the arsenal, but government forces of about 1200 soldiers led by General Shepard quelled the revolt. The rebels were captured and sentenced to death for treason in February 1787, but later pardoned. This was the straw the broke the camels back, Shays' Rebellion made it clear that the army as-well as Congress itself were week (#8) and that unrest was increasing. And so, the Federal Convention convened in the State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation; or at least that was the original plan. The Constitutional Convention met for 4 months On February 21, 1787, for the sole purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. Only twelve of the thirteen colonies sent delegates to the Convention, Rhode Island was the only state with no delegates there. There were fifty-five delegates there, but ultimately only thirty-nine delegates got to sign the constitution. The Constitution was written in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787, General George Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention, and ratified by New Hampshire on June 21, 1788. The founding fathers as well as the people had left a British Government that was said to have the best know government, an ideal government if you will. So why would they try to come up with a new government; and who would they base it on. Our forefathers were actually quite smart; they studied ancient Rome's government and adapted it to the one we live in today. Rome's early Republicanism (#9) was a government that promoted good for the people, which simply meant that decisions were made in the views of the citizens, and not the well being of the rulers, or government. Many Philosophers also played a big part in our Constitution, like Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de la Brede et de Montesquieu (1689-1755)(#10). His view in the Constitution was to separation of powers so that no one class could not over power the other, thus this was ultimately better for the citizens of the county. And so, our Constitution was born, now lets see how the Articles of Confederation differ from the Constitution of the United States.

The sixth article of the Constitution states the Legal Status of the Constitution (#34). This article simply states that all debts acquired before the Constitution will be valid, as well as the legalities of treaties, and the oath that bounds the judicial officials as well as the members of the several state legislatures. In the Articles of Confederation Article twelve commits the United States to pay all debts incurred by th
