What were the shortcomings of the article of confederation?
I'm sure your textbook addresses that question is some detail but the two biggest ones were the lack of taxing authority and the lack of an executive authority. Because it could not levy taxes the congress could not raise its own money for national purposes. It could only ask the states for money and they often refused to give it. Because there was no executive the congress could not enforce whatever laws it passed. The states could, and did, ignore them if they wanted to. With that kind of weakness it was very difficult to get anything done. Michael Montagne you need boobs too

How many new laws are passed in America every year by the president?
None. The President of the United States does not pass laws, that is the job of the legislative branch. The President has the ability to veto laws that the Congress has passed, but he can be over ruled by a 2/3rds majority. ---- Actually, it is the Presidential act of signing a bill passed by Congress that transforms that bill into law. It is emphatically the province of the President to pass laws and not Congress. What the Congress passes are bills, which have no legal authority unless passed by the President, or unless Congress over rules a Presidential veto with a 2/3 super majority vote. As to your original question, the number of laws passed in America probably varies year to year.
