On November 17, 1777, Congress submits the Articles of Confederation to the states for ratification.

The Articles had been signed by Congress two days earlier, after 16 months of debate. Bickering over land claims between Virginia and Maryland delayed final ratification for almost four more years. Maryland became the last state to approve the Articles on March 1, 1781, affirming them as the outline of the official government of the United States. The nation was guided by the document until the implementation of the current U.S. Constitution in 1789

The critical distinction between the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution—the primacy of the states under the Articles—is best understood by comparing the following lines.

The Articles of Confederation begin:

“To all to whom these Present shall come, we the undersigned Delegates of the States…”

By contrast, the Constitution begins:

“We the People of the United States…do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The predominance of the states under the Articles of Confederation is made even more explicit by the claims of Article II:

“Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.”

Less than five years after the ratification of the Articles of Confederation, enough leading Americans decided that the system was inadequate to the task of governance that they peacefully overthrew their second government in just over 20 years. The difference between a collection of sovereign states forming a confederation and a federal government created by a sovereign people lay at the heart of the debate as the new American people decided what form their government would take.

Between 1776 and 1787, Americans went from living under a sovereign king, to living in sovereign states, to becoming a sovereign people. That transformation defined the American Revolution.

A Game of Thrones editor was killed by a lion during a safari trip in a horrific attack after the animal leaped through an open vehicle window.

Katherine Chappell, 29, was traveling through a safari park close to Johannesburg in South Africa when her dream vacation became a tragedy. She rolled down a window to photograph a lion resting on the ground.

Without warning, it rose up on its back legs, sprang forward and attacked her through the window. Eyewitness Ben Govender told the New York Post: "We saw the [guide] diving into the passenger seat and punching at the lioness.

"After the first bite, the lioness retreated from the car with blood dripping from her mouth and paw.'' The animal then staged a second devastating attack, savaging its victim. Ben added: "Her face was torn apart. The right side of her chest was gone. Nothing could have been done to save that woman."

The redacted name is Virginia Giuffre She already stated in her own book that Trump had nothing to do with anything nefarious regarding Epstein, as did Epstein's lawyer. Why is the name redacted? Because it is easily debunked. Also, Ghislaine Maxwell swore in her testimony that Trump had nothing to do with Epstein's underage girls.

This is the Dims latest dishonest media campaign designed to keep Trump from governing. It's an insurrection of sorts
