that the congress were not able to stop or prevent the rebellion so they doubted the articles so the people doubted the ability of the government
One good point was that it only had each state have only one vote so it was kept in the Constitution.
The Articles of Confederation were the first documents that outlined the government of the 13 new states after the Revolutionary War. They united the states, and divided and limited the power, which was the point. The problem was, it made the government weak, so the economy collapsed.
The Founding Fathers who found shortcomings in the Articles of Confederation were typically known as Federalists. The most significant shortcoming, from their point of view, was the weakness of the national government, which they believed did not have the power or authority to deal with the nation's problems. Another example of a shortcoming was the lack of a national currency.
LIBERTY OUGHT to be the dire t end of your government
The type of government that the Articles Of Confederation created was, a federal arrangement with a strong central government.
the government couldn't afford a strong army; therefore, the more wealthy people had to pay soldiers to fight off the farmers in shay's rebellion.
At this point, the US had just broken free from the control of England. They feared a powerful government, so they enacted the Articles of Confederation. This basically said that the country was a loose association of the states, and the federal government had little or no power. Several instances where federal power was needed, such as Shay's Rebellion, proved that a stronger form of government was needed.

Several instances where federal power was needed, such as Shay's Rebellion, proved that a stronger form of government was needed. Because the states were pretty much free to say no to things like taxes and comunity programs, the federal government was very weak. They finally revised the articles of confederation to tie the states closer together and to build a stronger economy.
Because Barney held them all up at gun point. o_0
