The Articles of Confederation was the name given to the agreement made by the 13 original states of the United States. The main reason for opposition was that it required the states to give up any claims they had to lands further west. Some also felt that the Articles were too weak to make the United States effective, as there was nothing in the document about governance in terms of who would be president and how the judicial system would be handled.

What were some major problems the US had under the Articles of Confederation?

Under the Articles of Confederation, the U.S. faced significant issues, including a lack of a strong central government, which hindered its ability to enforce laws and collect taxes. States operated like independent countries, leading to economic instability and trade disputes. The federal government lacked the power to raise an army, which made it difficult to address internal uprisings or external threats. Additionally, the requirement for unanimous consent to amend the Articles made it nearly impossible to correct these problems.
