What were some of the problems of the national government under the articles of the confederation?

Answer 1

1. I am not sure if this is correct, but this is what I found through my own search.

A few problems with the kind of government set up by the Articles of Confederation included the following. Firstly, the larger states had more power in congress than the smaller states, which led to manipulation because the larger states could use their authority to make other states help pay of that one state's debt. This was possible because they could vote it so since they represented the majority of the population. Also, each state had a different currency which made trade almost impossible. Another point is that since the states were governed all relied on one another to be a successful nation, to produce, sell, and afford necessities to thrive on, they were not independent making them each vulnerable and therefore creating a generally weak government.
