Will I get a Stimulus Check?

I’m 18 and meet every requirement to get the $1200 check. The only issue is my dependance. My parents claimed me as a dependent in 2018, and they have not yet filed their 2019 taxes.

Writing a paper on the failed articles of confederation. Any tips?

I think I understand the gist of it, and have some major points to incorporate.

Basically, the AOC (not the woman) failed because the government was too weak. problems arose and it was decided a stronger gov was needed in order to regulate commerce, tax, and muster a national army.

The turning point was Shays rebellion and one of the states being problematic with its interstate tax policies.

Is there anything I should be sure to discuss?
