yes
There is no real central government under the Articles of Confederation. The only centralized governmental institution was the Congress, which only had the power to declare war with other nations
it placed too many limits on governmental power
The term of office for the US House of Representatives is two years; there are no term limits. Representatives may be elected for as many terms as the voters wish, for as long as the Representative chooses to serve.
Yes. The Articles of Confederation gave the states within the union almost unlimited power. This means that the national/central government was left with very little power. Probably the main reason that the Articles of Confederation was eliminated is that the central government had too little power to be effective at anything. It couldn't even coin money or regulate interstate trade, so any state could theoretically make their own money and put astronomical taxes on goods from other states.
If you want to put someone in charge, then they need to be able to do their job unhindered. Saying "you can do whatever you like as much as you want, no limits. Except you need permission from this person and only after these other people have agreed to let you first" is slighty absurd.
it placed strict limits on the federal governments power
The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was drafted in 1777 and became binding in 1781. The articles put several limits on the Confederate Congress including the inability to create one currency for all the Southern states, and not giving them power to make states do anything against their will.

No. The only limits are physical limits imposed by the hardware (memory constraints).
NoneLimitless
There is no such amendment. US Senators and Representatives do not have term limits.
Voters can set practical term limits on a US Senator or Congressman by voting him or her out of office in the general election. There is no way to pass a law or state constitutional amendment that imposes legal limits on their terms, however, because the US Supreme Court found that unconstitutional in US Term Limits Inc., v. Thornton, (1995).
constitutional amendments
Of course not. There are always limits. The difficulty is that many things we believe are limits are self-imposed.
