1-24-12 Creation of Amendments

5. The Articles of Confederation had no central government. The founding fathers should have gave the proper people power to lead the people in the colonies. Every 4 years they should let the citizens elect a new leader as they see needed.
Congress had no power to tax the people. Congress needed to impose taxes to help pay for the military and some funds to improve public facilities for the citizens. The amendment that should have been made was the government should make people pay taxes on how much they own and their income. Just take a percentage of the peoples' money because it is put back in use for the people to make their lives better.

Congress didn't have any power to regulate the behavior of the people. Congress should have created laws people must follow or they face the consequences. People could be put to death or confined in a cell for many years to teach them a lesson.
