Episode 2 is about the Articles of Confederation, the OG government of this country. The Articles of Confederation were a hot mess pretty much from the start (1:05). The inability of the government to put down Shay’s Rebellion forced the elites to reconsider what powers were necessary for a government to function (2:46).The Question of the Day asks (4:30) What do you call the building, which is still standing in Philadelphia, where the Constitution was signed?Thank you for listening to The APsolute RecAP: United States Government Edition!(AP is a registered trademark of the College Board and is not affiliated with The APsolute RecAP.
