Weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation
After over a year of debate the Articles were formally adopted, however they wouldn't last long.  There were many arguments against the Articles. 

  • Under the Articles there was only a unicameral legislature so that there was no separation of powers.
  • The central government under the Articles was too weak since the majority of the power rested with the states.
  • Congress, under the Articles, did not have the power to tax which meant that they could never put their finances in order. 
  • In order to change or amend the Articles, unanimous approval of the states was required which essentially meant that changes to the Articles were impossible.
  • For any major laws to pass they had to be approved by 9 or the 13 states which proved difficult to do so that even the normal business of running a government was difficult.
  • Under the Articles, Congress did not have the power to regulate commerce which will cause competition between states as well as diplomatic issues.
