The Articles of Confederation created a very weak federal government. After being ruled by Britain for so long, the last thing the colonists wanted was a government that reflected a monarchy. The Articles of Confederation failed to give government many different powers, including the power to tax and the power to build an army. Many saw the problems associated with the Articles of Confederation through lack of revenue and the absence of a strong military to quash rebellions that were becoming common.
