They could set taxes and regulate trade power.

dont no

Baby cme to me.

The first problem was that the new goverment could not settle disputes between states. The second problem was that foreign countries did not respect the nation. And the third was that the new goverment could not raise enough money

Fears were:

1. The citizens would think that the federal government was too strong, therefore being too much like the Great Britain they had just escaped from.

2. If the federal government held all the power, then the states would become dictated, and the states wouldn't have enough freedom.

3. This resulted in the states having too much power and not giving enough money to the federal government when in need.

Luckily, a few Founding Fathers fixed that...like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and so on...

The meeting was scheduled in Philadelphia.

The Articles were designed to meet the requirements of the Revolutionary War, which they did. The states at that time were highly independent and wished to preserve for themselves more power in deciding state issues.

The AofC is a short document. Read it. In its succinctness it shows that the Founders had only a temporary solution in mind for government. The Constitution is the next step in their government creation.

it was in 1781

National government with limited powers. Congress could settle conflicts among states, make coins, and borrow money. States had the power to refuse requests, and did not have a president or court system.

There were many reasons that led the people to call for changes to the Articles of Confederation. One such reason was because too many states fought among themselves which in turn weakened the government instead of united the colonies against Britain.

The power to tax. The power to enforce the laws that were enacted. A court system to resolve disputes among the states and interperet federal law. The power to force the states to abide by treaties negotiated in their name.

The Constitutional Convention of 1787. The Articles of Confederation were ultimately abandoned by our four fathers and the US Constitution was written.

The Articles of Confederation required unanimous consent of the 13 states to amend it. Two attempts were made to do so, each one failing by one vote.

The Articles of Confederation worked at the time.

The Articles of Confederation did not create the executive or judicial branches.

The Articles of Confederation were eliminated and replaced by the US Constitution. The additions added to the US Constitution which were absent within the Articles of Confederation include consenting powers, the type of national government, the division of powers in the national government, the mode of representation in the national government, power of congress, national government revenue raising, enforcement of federal laws, judiciary and resolution of cases and conflicts, prohibitions of congress, prohibitions and requirements of the states, and amendment capabilities.

Drafted during the years 1776 and 1777, while the colonists were still fighting for independence, the Articles of Confederation created a weak national government with most of the governmental powers retained by the states. The Articles provided no separation of branches. There was no president or any other independent executive, nor was there a federal judicial branch. Congress, the legislature, was the only branch of government. While congress did have some powers, it could not enforce its laws on the states or the people. States were permitted to coin their own money. There was no regulation of commerce between the states and states could even enter into treaties with foreign nations and declare war, “with the consent of Congress.” Congress could not tax the states or the people, it could only request funds to run the government.

No. After the Brittish strong authority, the Articles of Confederation were designed to have a weak federal (national) government, with strong state governments. In fact, the federal government had no power of compulsion over the states: states could choose not to follow federal law

False, it was the only branch of government at the time which is the Executive branch today.

the articles of confederation did not give the government the power to tax.

A strong federal government. People were scared that this would end up bringing them back under a rule similar to England.

Actually no. I thought he did, but while researching for a school project I realized he was already dispatched to be an ambassador to France before the second continental congress accepted the plan. On the final document, I cannot find any mention of Ben Franklin signing it.

Maryland had no Western lands, while all the other states did. They had nothing to gain from ratification, while all the other states had land to protect.

Orginally the pro was to defend against American aggression. Since Canada, once with the 7th largest military in the world, has intergrated it's military and now it's border services with America resulting in no effective defense against aggression the pro's of Confedration have changed.

In the 21st century a more common question in the West but also the East has become, why remain in a Confederation that takes more money than it gives in services, does not defend the land, and has build in inequities ensuring that some votes are more powerful than others.
