It was a weak alliance, it needed approval from 9 of all 13 states to be amended, no executive or judicial branch, only a one house congress where every state had 1 vote. It couldn't regulate interstate trade, impose taxes, or coin money. They also had no leader to run the country.

Why did the authors of the articles of conferderation provide for a weak government?
The Articles of Confederation were the first attempt to provide a central government for the United States, but it proved to be too weak. The authors of the Articles, like many Americans, were afraid of creating too strong a central government. Having just defeated England in the Revolutionary War and having won their independence from England's strong government, Americans wanted to be sure that the government they established would not be so strong as to take away their liberties and to interfere in their local affairs. The Articles provided a weak central government in which the real power remained in the hands of the states.
Why were the Articles of Confederation replaced?
The Articles of Confederation were eliminated and replaced by the US Constitution. The additions added to the US Constitution which were absent within the Articles of Confederation include consenting powers, the type of national government, the division of powers in the national government, the mode of representation in the national government, power of congress, national government revenue raising, enforcement of federal laws, judiciary and resolution of cases and conflicts, prohibitions of congress, prohibitions and requirements of the states, and amendment capabilities.

Before the Constitution was adopted, the United States of America operated under a weaker structure laid out in the Articles of Confederation. The articles of Confederation described how the several states would interact with each other and with a weak Confederation government.

Each State had its own laws and these continued in force until modified by the various State legislatures.

Is congress being able to pass laws one of the articles of confederation?
Under the Articles of Confederation, the United States Congress could pass laws. The best known of those laws was The Old North West Ordinance which set up surveying. Much of the United States has Townships 6 miles by 6 miles. These are divided into 36 sections 1 mile on each side. The Congress also arranged for the government under the present constitution to have its capital in New York City for 10 years and Philadelphia for 5 years before it moved to a permanent capital. Congress can no longer pass laws under the Articles of Confederation. The laws and provisions of the Articles remained in effect unless and until repealed by the present constitution or congress.
