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.

Feared a strong central government
The government under the Articles of Confederation was characterized by a weak central authority, as it lacked the power to levy taxes, regulate commerce, or enforce laws. However, it did allow for the establishment of a postal service and the management of foreign affairs. The statement that the government had strong executive power is false, as there was no executive branch under the Articles. Thus, the government was primarily a confederation of sovereign states with limited federal power.
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.
