because the Articles created a loose friendship between the 13 states
The executive branch is headed by the President.
An executive branch
There was an executive under the Articles of Confederation, but he was a mere figurehead and he had no power, unlike the current President. The president under the Articles was elected by the Continental Congress instead of the Electoral College.
a independent executive branch
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.
Every single freakin one of them. Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

There was no President under the Articles of Confederation.
Feared a strong central government
The federal government under the Articles of Confederation did not have much direct power over the states. It could not directly tax any commerce, or regulate trade, and did not have a provision for a national army. There was also no chief executive.

The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government. The Constitution created a strong central government. The Articles did not create an executive branch. Congress was a unicameral legislature. There was no federal court system under the Articles. Congress could not enforce the laws nor levy and collect taxes without the approval of the states, under the Articles. A major weakness under the Articles was its lack of power to regulate trade between the states and with foreign nations.
