It examines the Articles of Confederation, including its strengths (Land Ordinance, Northwest Ordinance) and weaknesses (lack of taxing power, trade regulation, etc.). Shay's Rebellion is discussed as a turning point demonstrating these weaknesses. State constitutions and their features are also reviewed. Finally, the guide provides practice questions and exam tips for the AP US History exam.
