the Articles of Confederation failed for many reasons. one reason was that the states had too much power leaving the federal government weak. there was no chief executive. Laws needed to be approval of 9 out of 13 states. congress did not have the power to tax states. congress did not have the power to draft an army. there was no national court system. any amendments had to be approved by all 13 states. congress did not have the power to collect state debts. congress did not have the power to settle disputes among states.
