The Articles of Confereration was passed in 1777.
A body that was elected by the people. They were to meet and determine which laws needed to be changed or passed for the country.
That would be the Articles of Confederation.
Under the Articles of Confederation, a law could be passed with the 3/4 majority of the states' delegates voting in favor. At the time of the confederation, there were 13 states, so in order to pass a law, there needed to be 9 states voting in favor of it.
November 1777
The Confederation Congress became the legislative branch of government established by the Articles of Confederation. It was too weak because it had insufficient powers to enforce the laws that were passed.
The Articles' weakness was that they gave the federal government so little power that it couldn't keep the country united. The Articles were abandoned for the Constitution.The Articles of confederation did not give the federal government the power to taxThe Articles of confederation did not have an executive branch in other words no presidentThe Articles of Confederation did not have a judicial branch to resolve disputes and set policy.It was very difficult to pass laws under the Articles of Confederation 9/13 of the states had to agree and almost impossible to revise the Articles the need every state to agree in order to make a change.
This question is nebulously worded and can mean one of two questions: 1) Can an individual today change the words/paragraphs/articles of the Articles of Confederation? -- No. The Articles of Confederation is an historical document. 2) Were the Articles of Confederation, while in use, subject to an amendment process? -- Yes. The Articles could be amended provided that the amendment was passed in all of the State Legislatures.
Arguments
