Under the Articles of Confederation Congress depended on donations from the states to operate which caused problems for the national government.
The Articles' weakness was that they gave the federal government so little power that it couldn't keep the country united. The Articles were abandoned for the Constitution.The Articles of confederation did not give the federal government the power to taxThe Articles of confederation did not have an executive branch in other words no presidentThe Articles of Confederation did not have a judicial branch to resolve disputes and set policy.It was very difficult to pass laws under the Articles of Confederation 9/13 of the states had to agree and almost impossible to revise the Articles the need every state to agree in order to make a change.

Only one branch was set up under the Articles -- the Legislative branch.
The government under the Articles of Confederation was characterized by a weak central authority, as it lacked the power to levy taxes, regulate commerce, or enforce laws. However, it did allow for the establishment of a postal service and the management of foreign affairs. The statement that the government had strong executive power is false, as there was no executive branch under the Articles. Thus, the government was primarily a confederation of sovereign states with limited federal power.
