The legislative branch under the Articles of Confederation was a unicameral Congress, where each state had one vote, regardless of its size or population. This Congress was responsible for making laws, but it had limited powers, such as the inability to levy taxes or regulate interstate commerce. Decisions required a supermajority, meaning at least nine out of thirteen states had to agree for legislation to pass. This structure ultimately proved ineffective, leading to calls for a stronger federal government and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
