Every single freakin one of them. Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.
There was no executive under the Articles of Confederation because the Founding Fathers feared the return of tyranny. The Founding Fathers were very cautious not to create a new "king"- that was exactly why they had separated from England. so as a result, there was no executive to carry out the laws passed by Congress. This lack of a leader caused much confusion.
