The greatest weakness of the Articles of Confederation was the lack of central government. Some states even went to war with each other before the constitution came into effect.

The Articles of Confederation did not provide Congress any power to collect or generate tax revenue to pay off the war debt. It also was very weak in its power to regulate imports and exports.

The Article of Confederation gave more power to the state government than the national government because the national government had few powers, because many Americans were afraid that a strong government would lead to tyranny, or oppressive rule.

The Constitution was designed to solve the major weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. One of the most serious problems was the lack of federal power. The Executive Branch, missing in the Articles, was created to enforce federal laws in the country. The government under the Constitution also had the power to tax. Under the Articles, only state governments could tax due to fears of monarchy and tyranny that might result if the federal government was allowed to tax. However, the federal government had to depend on the states for revenue, which the states did not always give. This was a serious problem because the US had $27 million in war debts. The first sign that the new Constitution was better than the old Articles of Confederation was the Whiskey Rebellion, in which the new government aptly showed its ability to enforce its laws.

The Articles of Confederation were adopted by Congress on November 15, 1777. They were in effect for less than a decade as the current Constitution was ratified on March 4, 1789.

Congress was a unicameral legislature. There was no federal court system under the Articles. Congress could not enforce the laws nor levy and collect taxes without the approval of the states, under the Articles. A major weakness under the Articles was its lack of power to regulate trade between the states and with foreign nations.

Nothing can kill him. If you decapitate him, burn him, freeze him, poison him, suffocate him, electrocute him, beat him to death, shoot him, stab him, choke him, or even disembowel him, he just won't die because he is a supernatural demon and will forever come back to strike back until you are completely DEAD. However, the ONE weakness Evil Jester only has is if he kills HIMSELF in any possible way.

One of the most important compromises is the Great Compromise. It was a compromise between two plans pushed forward; the Virginia plan and the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan wanted representation in congress to be based off of states population. The New Jersey plan wanted equal representation for each state no matter the size. Ultimately the great compromise combined both of these plans and set up what we know today as the House of Reps. and Congress. One based on population of each state, and the other based off of two senators per state appointed by state legislatures.
