1. Trade. The government has no powers over commerce or trade. Dealing with other countries was hard because Congress could not speak for all states. States treated each other like foreign countries. They set taxes on items from other states.

2. Money. The government had no control over paper money. Each state could print its own. Money in one state might not be good in another. There was a lot of worthless money.
