						of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June
						11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland
						refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands
						(Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government
						from such large amounts of land). Once the signing took place in 1781, a President
						was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress
						(which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused
						to run against him, as he was a major player in the Revolution and an extremely influential
						member of Congress. </FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E9B086F7-0764-40A0-9154-C2FE5327AEB6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
