• 25: Weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation led to problems that required a stronger national government to be created.
• 26: Without knowing the content of the series watched in class, this answer may vary. But assuming general knowledge, George Washington is a well - known Founding Father.
• 27: The Boston Massacre increased tensions between American colonists and British authorities, fueling the call for independence.
