Whoever wrote the Articles of Confederation

Must have had a thing for run on sentences. Anyone care to make sense of this for me?

And forasmuch as the natives have formerly committed sundry Insolence and outrages upon several Plantations of the English and have of late combined themselves against us: and seeing by reason of those sad distractions in England which they have heard of, and by which they know vie are hindered from that humble way of seeking advice, or reaping those comfortable fruits of protection, which at other times we might well expect

 

that thing missed it's period. multiple times.

 

I have no idea, and I can modernize Shakespeare soliloquies in minutes.

 

Here's another one:

It is further agreed that the Plantations which at present are or hereafter shall be settled within the limits of the Massachusetts shall be forever under the Massachusetts and shall have peculiar jurisdiction among themselves in all cases as an entire body, and that Plymouth, Connecticut, and New Haven shall each of them have like peculiar jurisdiction and government within their limits; and in reference to the Plantations which already are settled, or shall hereafter be erected, or shall settle within their limits respectively; provided no other Jurisdiction shall hereafter be taken in as a distinct head or member of this Confederation, nor shall any other Plantation or Jurisdiction in present being, and not already in combination or under the jurisdiction of any of these Confederates, be received by any of them; nor shall any two of the Confederates join in one Jurisdiction without consent of the rest, which consent to be interpreted as is expressed in the sixth article ensuing.

What? I believe your services are needed.

 

Post these in the 'You Laugh You Lose' thread. They'll laugh at how they word fumble and how badly written it is.

These quotes from the articles are making me want to read Twilight again, and that's not a good thing.

 

I laughed so much harder than I should've

 

This .

 

What??????

 

Pretty sure the first one is talking about Native Americans starting to rise up against settlers.

Second one is saying that any future plantations are limited to the boundaries of Massachusetts, and each plantation is governed independently. Or something along those lines.

Which articles are you looking at btw?

 

To who?????

 

...How old are you?

Did you learn about how Thomas Jefferson was a pimp and stuff?

 

I found the original source, it isn't documentation though.

Spoiler

And so was old Jefferson. I mean, he wanted to keep the slaves, but he didn't say for what reason.
