In this first part of a two-part episode focused on the complex problems that the United States was facing under the Articles of Confederation, I consider the huge economic depression these early Americans were facing, the weaknesses and limitations of the Articles themselves. This first part of this episode is rare in that it doesn't have a mental caveat, though there is one in the second part, which I'm hoping that you will enjoy. 

I was however careful to include some historical details from Kathleen DuVal. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have. :-)
