What did capitalism ever have to do with rights anyway?

Council of Fardelshufflesteins. I did not create this.
It's a Fardelshufflestein Cult. I went onto NS today, and--and there was a WF cult.

Reasons why I think you made it:
1. It's incredibly specific
2. None are in the WA
3. The RMB is oddly script like
4. The region is new
5. The amount of time between RMB posts are short, like they live in the same time zone
6. One RMB post says that all of the puppet are WF
7. None of the RMB posts are liked
8. Most of the puppets are admins

As much as I know the Constitution, I don't exactly know much about the AoC. But from what I can remember, it was the first effective "constitution" imposed by the Continental Congress throughout the Revolutionary War and a few years after that, until the Constitution was fully ratified by 1788.

I heard that it gave extremely little power to the central government, and that the country was failing. It didn't even have the power to collect taxes! The states had strong central governments, though, and didn't listen to the central government. In 1788 we were forced to amend the constitution to allow the central government to have more power.

I say that I agree with the change, if what I said about the articles of confederation are right.

However, I would still like the states to have a major say in how they run themselves. And I'd say that in this timelines, Americanians would probably associate themselves more with their state, kind of like the USA before the civil war. However, I don't think it would go as far as the pre civil war. Americanians would refer to themselves as such, not their states.

Correct. The Continental Congress effectively was weaker through the AoC when compared to state governments, especially states like New York and Pennsylvania (the latter being the location of Philadelphia, the proclaimed capital before Washington DC). Some states even raised their own armies and militias during the Revolution without the consent of Congress, like the Massachusetts Naval Militia. Some operated almost independently, like Vermont, which formed the Republic of the Green Mountains or the Vermont Republic. So, the Constitution was drafted and ratified to give more power to the Feds.

Cool.

Then after 1788 is when George Washington become the first president, right? Because nobody knew who else they could turn too, to form a proper government?

Fun fact:
In my timeline, German remained a major language in the USA even to this day!

Yes, a year later to be exact. But before the Presidency was created, the Continental Congress was the effective authority across America.
