Samuel Adams And The Articles Of Confederation

I am Samuel Adams, born on September 27, 1722 in Boston Massachusetts, and I was 59 when signed the Article of Confederation. I also signed the Declaration of Independence because I believed that the 13 colonies should have independence and freedom. When the Articles of Confederation was signed and published we realized that even though we could pass laws we had no power to enforce them. We depended on the states to do it, but they rarely did. This was ethics because they weren't following what the rules of the Articles of Confederation were saying. They weren't doing what was right for the people. I represented Massachusetts, but before I did I was a merchant. I also tried to become a brewer and a newspaper publisher that didn’t work out. I am a Congregationalist, which means I was basically Christian. I believe this was structure because we had to work as a team and build on an idea we thought the world should see and respect. This relates because we were trying to make a organized and structured government.
