The main flaw was Congress inability to control the states. As shown by Shay's rebellion, Congress was unable to organize a military. Congress had no power to tax states- could only request money. Congress had no power to regulate interstate or foreign commerce. And no executive power. No way to enforce laws.

What were the flaws of Articles of Confederation?

Flaws of the Articles of Confederation: Denied a centralized national government; it denied it the power to tax or to regulate trade, not only between the United States and other nations, but also between the states. The Articles of Confederation were meant to put States' Rights over the rights of the National GovernmentThe greatest flaw of the Articles of Confederation was that all the power belonged to the states. For example: the U.S. federal government had debts to repay but had no means of enforcing or raising taxes in the states. Furthermore the articles made it nearly impossible to amend the Articles themselves so no problems no matter how glaring could be fixed.

What were the most critical flaws under the Articles of confederation?

The Articles of Confederation had several critical flaws, primarily the lack of a strong central government, which left the national authority too weak to enforce laws or regulate commerce effectively. There was no executive branch to implement laws and no national judiciary to resolve disputes between states. Additionally, the requirement for unanimous consent from all thirteen states to amend the Articles made it nearly impossible to address these deficiencies, leading to economic instability and difficulties in foreign relations. These weaknesses ultimately prompted the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
