1781年,独立后的北美各州怀着对政府权威的警惕和必须建立某种联合的双重心态,组建了一个松散的邦联来协调相互的关系,《邦联条例》确立的唯一权力机构——国会,实际上只是一个州际协调机构。因而,邦联的缺陷越来越明显,无政府状态从各个方面显现出来。自由主义者致力于把权威制度化,使之能够受到公众的约束。 In 1781, after independence, the North American states, with their vigilance on the authority of the government and the necessity of establishing a certain united dual mentality, formed a loose confederation to coordinate their mutual relations. The only governing body established by the Confederation Ordinance - the National Assembly, It’s really just an interstate coordinator. Thus, the flaws of the confederation are becoming more and more obvious and the anarchy manifests itself in all aspects. Liberals are committed to institutionalizing authority so that it can be bound by the public.
