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.

The problem lay in the fact that the Articles gave executive and legislative authority to the Congress. In effect this established a parliamentary government without a prime minister.
