The political push to increase cooperation among the then-loyal colonies began with the Albany Congress in 1754 and Benjamin Franklin's proposed intercolonial collaboration to help solve mutual local problems themselves ; the Articles of Confederation would bear some resemblance to it.

The Declaration announced the states ' entry into the international system ; the model treaty was designed to establish amity and commerce with other states ; and the Articles of Confederation, which established “ a firm league ” among the thirteen free and independent states, constituted an international agreement to set up central institutions for the conduct of vital domestic and foreign affairs.

In practice, the Articles were in use beginning in 1777 ; the final draft of the Articles served as the de facto system of government used by the Congress (" the United States in Congress assembled ") until it became de jure by final ratification on March 1, 1781 ; at which point Congress became the Congress of the Confederation.

Article 25 of the Thirty-Nine Articles, speaking of the sacraments, says: " Those five commonly called Sacraments, that is to say, Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony, and extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments of the Gospel, being such as have grown partly of the corrupt following of the Apostles, partly are states of life allowed in the Scriptures ; but yet have not like nature of Sacraments with Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony ordained of God.

* Articles of personal use ; for example, brooches ( fibulae ), pins, razors, tweezers, etc., often found as dedications to a deity, for example, in the Dictaean Cavern of Crete.

The continued inconsistency between the Articles of Religion and the Prayer Book remained a point of contention for Puritans ; and would in the 19th century come close to tearing the Church of England apart, through the course of the Gorham judgement.

Here Confirmation, the cross in baptism, private baptism, the use of the surplice, kneeling at the communion, reading the Apocrypha ; and subscription to the BCP and Articles were all touched on.

Congress regards impeachment as a power to be used only in extreme cases ; the House has initiated impeachment proceedings only 64 times since 1789 ( most recently against Judge Thomas Porteous of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana ) with only the following 19 of these proceedings actually resulting in the House passing Articles of Impeachment:

This required more than an alternation in the Articles of Confederation ; it required a change in the character of the national compact.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the United States had no executive branch ; the President of Congress was a mostly ceremonial position within the Confederation Congress, but the office did require Hanson to handle a good deal of correspondence and sign official documents.

His services to his church have been summed up thus: ( 1 ) he has a keen sense of the proportion of the faith and maintains a clear distinction between what is fundamental, needing ecclesiastical commands, and subsidiary, needing only ecclesiastical guidance and suggestion ; ( 2 ) as distinguished from the earlier protesting standpoint, e. g. of the Thirty-nine Articles, he emphasized a positive and constructive statement of the Anglican position.

His face was split by a vermilion streak, his eyes were pools of white ; ;

He had looked over my forms and was impressed by what he had seen there ; ;

Soon as the Burnsides moved on, he'd lead Rex down by the river ; ;

At once my ears were drowned by a flow of what I took to be Spanish, but -- the driver's white teeth flashing at me, the road wildly veering beyond his glistening hair, beyond his gesticulating bottle -- it could have been the purest Oxford English I was half hearing ; ;

Not by the 11:00 sun which had spread a warmth around his spot of grass in the English Gardens and sent him off to sleep ; ;

When I question them as to what they mean by concepts like liberty and democracy, I find that they fall into two categories: the simpler ones who have simply accepted the shibboleths of their faith without analysis ; ;

Their social status was achieved in some cases by birth, as with Washington, Jefferson and Jay ; ;

Other examples of gradual changes that have affected the Negro have been his moving up, row by row, in the buses ; ;

Perhaps these writers have been too deeply moved by this romanticizing ; ;

The sequence may involve a sharp contrast: for example, a quiet meditative sway of the body succeeded by a violent leap ; ;

ripe pears lying in long grass, to be turned over by a dusty-slippered foot, cautiously, lest bees still worked in the ragged, brown-edged holes ; ;

Three of these only were protected from us by stern commandment: the roses, whose petals might not be collected until they had fallen, to be made into perfume or rose-tea to drink ; ;

the peonies, whose tight sticky buds would be blighted by the laying on of a finger, although they were not apparently harmed by the ants that crawled over them ; ;

The very firmness of her convictions and logical clearness of her arguments captivated and stimulated him to make greater efforts ; ;

Certain features we have touched upon: philosophy as a logical, deductive system from which a social science methodology can be built up ; ;

At the least, however, one may conclude that Geometric potters sensed a logical order ; ;

Logic seems to have emerged from dialectics ; the earlier philosophers made frequent use of concepts like reductio ad absurdum in their discussions, but never truly understood the logical implications.

The former controls the flow of data between the CPU and memory ; the latter performs arithmetic and logical operations on data.

As early as 1886 he saw that logical operations could be carried out by electrical switching circuits ; the same idea as was used decades later to produce digital computers.

Until recently, Hume was seen as a forerunner of the logical positivist movement ; a form of anti-metaphysical empiricism.

There are three main interpretations of Hume's theory of causation represented in the literature: ( 1 ) the logical positivist ; ( 2 ) the skeptical realist ; and ( 3 ) the quasi-realist.

* The same information can be expressed on multiple rows ; therefore updates to the table may result in logical inconsistencies.

They need to be analyzed and criticized in all their manifestations ; the function of both logical and axiological oppositions must be studied in all discourses to provide meaning and values.

A fugue begins with the exposition and is written according to certain predefined rules ; in later portions the composer has more freedom, though a logical key structure is usually followed.

On one extreme is logical positivism, which denies the validity of any beliefs held by faith ; on the other extreme is fideism, which holds that true belief can only arise from faith, because reason and physical evidence cannot lead to truth.

He is well known for debating the existence of God with Bertrand Russell in a celebrated 1948 BBC broadcast ; the following year he debated logical positivism and the meaningfulness of religious language with his friend the analytic philosopher A. J. Ayer.

Keynes asked his friend Piero Sraffa to respond publicly to Hayek's challenge ; instead of formulating an alternative theory, Sraffa elaborated on the logical inconsistencies of Hayek's argument, especially concerning the effect of inflation-induced " forced savings " on the capital sector and about the definition of a " natural " interest rate in a growing economy.

They expanded the range of geometry to many new kinds of figures, curves, surfaces, and solids ; they changed its methodology from trial-and-error to logical deduction ; they recognized that geometry studies " eternal forms ", or abstractions, of which physical objects are only approximations ; and they developed the idea of the " axiomatic method ", still in use today.
