the national gov. had too much power in some areas and the states had to much power in others. for example, the states had the power to print their own currency, which led to confusion for travelers because they had to stop and trade one states coins for anothers.
The articles of confederation gave power to the states and left very little power for the federal government.
The National Government
The states actually had the most power under the Articles of Confederation. This did not prove workable for the federal government, and this eventually led to the Constitutional Convention.
In a confederate system (as in the Articles of Confederation), the states retain most of the governmental power.
To strengthen the power of the central government. The preceding Articles of the Confederation gave too much power to the states, and left too little power to the central government, as shown by Shays' Rebellion. A stronger central power was necessary, and thus the Constitution was born.

A weakness of the Articles of Confederation
The states had more power than the national government
the articles of federation gave the states too much power, and the national government lacked the power to tax the states, enforce laws, and judge them. the constitution remedied this, by giving national government more power
they sucked the power
They redistributed most of the power to the States, it's been said the Confederacy died of States' Rights.
Under the Articles of Confederation, most government power was retained by the states rather than the national government. The Articles established a weak central government that lacked the authority to impose taxes or regulate commerce effectively, which led to significant challenges in governance. This decentralization of power resulted in states having significant autonomy, often leading to conflicts and inconsistencies in laws and policies across the nation. Ultimately, the limitations of the Articles prompted the drafting of the U.S. Constitution to create a stronger federal framework.
Flaws of the Articles of Confederation: Denied a centralized national government; it denied it the power to tax or to regulate trade, not only between the United States and other nations, but also between the states. The Articles of Confederation were meant to put States' Rights over the rights of the National GovernmentThe greatest flaw of the Articles of Confederation was that all the power belonged to the states. For example: the U.S. federal government had debts to repay but had no means of enforcing or raising taxes in the states. Furthermore the articles made it nearly impossible to amend the Articles themselves so no problems no matter how glaring could be fixed.
