The states refused to give the government the money it needed. The one vote rule also contributed to the problems. Each state, regardless of its population, had only one vote in Congress. This led to the larger states with the bigger populations arguing with the smaller states, saying that it was unfair and that they did not have enough representation. Other problems include, the fact that congress could not pass important measures because of the nine-state (Two-Thirds vote) majority required to make laws. Congress lacked the authority to enforce its laws, and could not, for example, prevent states from negotiating with foreign nations. This is linked to the fact that there was no authority to act directly upon individuals, or states. Most of the power was retained by the different states, and these states largely ignored congress. This led to congress being powerless to enforce cooperation and so was unable to carry out its duties of creating laws etc. he government was made up of only one branch (Congress) and so was unable to control all of the states.
