The lack of trade regulation in the Articles of Confederation meant that each state had a tariff on products from other states. This ended a lot of trade and brought a lot of poverty. The farmers of New Jersey and Connecticut could no longer sell their produce to New York. The United States was a third world country like India is today.
~ Planning an Empire for Liberty - charting the settlement of the vast western public domain - was the greatest single achievement in domestic policy for the Confederation. ~ In military matters, the Confederation brought the War of Independence to a successful end. ~ A peace treaty with England.
There are a number of things that the fathers of confederation did. They brought provinces together and worked out various democratic ways of governing these territories in various conferences.
While the Articles of Confederation had many weaknesses, it was able to accomplish much. It held the states together until the Constitution was written. It developed a fair policy for the development of the western lands. The states ceded their claims to the lands west of the Appalachians to the central government. This helped forge a feeling of national unity and congress under the Articles enacted laws to organize the western territories and admit new states on an equal footing with the original states. The Articles successfully negotiated a peace with Great Britain ending the Revolutionary War. Congressional departments of Foreign Affairs, War, Marine, and Treasury were established, each under a secretary. This set the precedent for the creation of the executive cabinets under the Constitution. The Articles also encouraged cooperation among the states. Though not always successful, the Articles provided that each state gave "full faith and credit" to the legal acts of the other states.
My assignment was the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation. There were many difficulties when this great nation was first getting started. If I were alive at that time and saw how they treated one another and the way that things were conducted I would never had imagined that we would have what we have today. According to the text some states began to coin their own money because of the chaos that came from the trading among one another. (O'Connor & Sabato, 2009, p. 10) Another weakness that the Articles of Confederation had was that they didn't allow Congress to regulate commerce among the states or with foreign nations. (O'Connor & Sabato, 2009, p. 10) If we didn't have this type of trading today we would not be one of the most powerful nations on the planet. The articles also had provisions against the executive branch and the judicial system. The provision with the executive branch of government was that it would be responsible for executing, or implementing, laws passed by the legislative branch. The text also stated that the President was just merely the presiding officer at meetings. The judicial system which is there to handle the growing number of economic conflicts was also a problem with the Articles of Confederation. This type of system today would be a disaster waiting to happen. This country would not be where it is if it were not for the countless of allies this country has and for setting boundaries on states and who can own what and for what cost. (O'Connor & Sabato, 2009, p. 10) If this were the case in today's world we would never get anywhere with anything that was brought to their attention and we would be a country that is always at war with either ourselves or with the rest of the world. The greatest weakness that the articles had was the lack of a strong central government basically saying that the states acted individually and made their own rules and laws and it didn't matter what the rest said. In today's government some of this is still true today with the different states having their own rules and regulation but in the end it comes down to what the president has to say, they don't just ignore him as they did in the past

After the Treaty of Paris of 1783, there was peace and it brought economic problems into focus and the people became unhappy.
