The government was weak under the Articles of Confederation. It gave to much power to the states. Taxes were levied on trade goods between states and each state had differnet laws (ex.slavery). Taxes were not getting to the national government because the states collected them. Also bills could not be passed easily. This all led to the transition of the constitution.
