The Articles of Confederation did not work
There is no real central government under the Articles of Confederation. The only centralized governmental institution was the Congress, which only had the power to declare war with other nations
it placed too many limits on governmental power
state governments
The federal government was not included in the articles of confederation. The confederacy wanted a weak central government and strong states.

A single legislative body
Before the United States Constitution, the Articles of Confederation were used to govern the United States. Their greatest weakness is that, under them, the Federal Government had no power. It could make laws and decisions, but it had no way to ensure that they were enforced.
The Articles of Confederation were the first framework for the government of the USA. They were enough of a structure, for the nation to survive during those eight years (1781-1789).
