Some weaknesses of a partnership include unlimited personal liability for the partners, potential conflicts and disagreements between partners, difficulty in transferring ownership or bringing in new partners, and shared decision-making which can lead to disagreements and inefficiencies.
Some advantages of a partnership business is that the gains and losses are shared, you share the resposibilities, and it's easy to set up. But some disadvantages to a partnership business is that each partner is 'jointly and severally' liable for the partnership's debts; that is, each partner is liable for their share of the partnership debts as well as being liable for all the debts, there is a risk of disagreements and friction among partners and management, and each partner is an agent of the partnership and is liable for actions by other partners
No, a limited partnership (LP) and a limited liability partnership (LLP) are not the same. In an LP, there are general partners who manage the business and have unlimited liability, while limited partners have limited liability but typically do not participate in management. In contrast, an LLP allows all partners to have limited liability, protecting them from personal liability for the partnership's debts and obligations, and typically all partners can participate in management. Thus, the key differences lie in liability and management roles.

Usually you have a board of directors who can arbitrate, mediate, etc in case of disagreements.

When all partners in a partnership are limited partners, the partnership is classified as a limited partnership. In this structure, limited partners contribute capital but have limited liability and are not involved in day-to-day management. Their liability is typically restricted to the amount they invested in the partnership. This arrangement allows for passive investment while protecting personal assets from business debts.
One advantage of a partnership over a corporation is that partnerships have simpler and more flexible management structures, allowing partners to make decisions more quickly and easily.
