What are 5 the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation?
1) Under the Articles there was only a unicameral legislature so that there was no separation of powers. 2) The central government under the Articles was too weak since the majority of the power rested with the states. 3) Congress, under the Articles, did not have the power to tax which meant that they could never put their finances in order. 4) In order to change or amend the Articles, unanimous approval of the states was required which essentially meant that changes to the Articles were impossible. 5) For any major laws to pass they had to be approved by 9 or the 13 states which proved difficult to do so that even the normal business of running a government was difficult.

Limitations of the Articles of Confederation?
I'm sure your textbook addresses that question is some detail but the two biggest ones were the lack of taxing authority and the lack of an executive authority. Because it could not levy taxes the congress could not raise its own money for national purposes. It could only ask the states for money and they often refused to give it. Because there was no executive the congress could not enforce whatever laws it passed. The states could, and did, ignore them if they wanted to. With that kind of weakness it was very difficult to get anything done. Michael Montagne you need boobs too
