Because they strived to prevent the abuses of power that had existed under British rule.

While the Articles of Confederation created a weak central government, without the power to enforce the laws, tax the people, or regulate trade between states, and lacked an executive branch, it did accomplish some things during its existence. It held the colonies together while we won the Revolutionary War. By the end of the "Confederation era," Congress had created a bureaucracy to administer the day-to-day affairs of the government. The issue over the western lands was solved under the Articles. The large states holding vast amounts of western land ceded the land to the government under the Articles so that all the states could share in the wealth of those lands. The Northwest Ordinances were passed that provided for the creation of equal, self governing states in the Northwest Territories and the newly created states would have the same rights and privileges as the original 13 states. Congress also provided for a survey of the western lands to prepare the land for sale to all.

Under the Articles, the states were held together until a new government under the Constitution was created.

The Articles of Confederation created a government that is known as a "confederation." 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. Laws required unanimous votes. Members elected to congress did not vote as individuals, but as states. 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.

The only thing it lead to was the United States Constitution.

the congress was only allowed to Determine relations with foreign countries, Manage foreign policy,borrow money from states, impeach the supreme court justices(novanet)

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.

There really were no successes of the Articles of Confederation. The only thing I can think of would be our ideas that transferred over to the Declaration. Mainly, the articles were a huge flop in our history. Sorry I couldn't give you what you wanted.

The workings of the Constitutional Convention, which included the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, and the Connetticut Comprimise. The workings of the Constitutional Convention, which included the Virginia Plan, New Jersey Plan, and the Conneticut Comprimise.

The short answer: No.

After all the crap England put the colonies through, early America did not want a strong central government. They preferred a relatively weak central government, with a strong local government.

The Articles of Confederation were the first constitution of the United States, in force from 1781 through 1789. The current federal Constitution is actually the second constitution of the United States, which came into effect in 1789.

Shays Rebellion was an armed rebellion that occurred in Massachusetts starting in 1786, motivated partially by post-war financial difficulties and comprised mainly of Revolutionary War veterans. This rebellion showed that the government as created by the Articles of Confederation was too weak and ineffective to deal with the difficulties that the rebellion was motivated by--as well as the rebellion itself.

The main purpose of the articles of confederation was to assure freedom for citizens by ensuring states individual liberties with no federal involvement. The created problems however, by no central monetary system exchange rates were often unfair to states with smaller economies and without a centralized army people were frightened that England might just take their territories back.

All 13 states had to agree in order to amend the Articles of Confederation. The document was ratified on March 1, 1781.

It was hard to trade with other countries.

the national gov. had too much power in some areas and the states had to much power in others. for example, the states had the power to print their own currency, which led to confusion for travelers because they had to stop and trade one states coins for anothers.

the articles of federation gave the states too much power, and the national government lacked the power to tax the states, enforce laws, and judge them. the constitution remedied this, by giving national government more power

The type of government that the Articles Of Confederation created was, a federal arrangement with a strong central government.

Eight men were appointed to serve one-year terms as president under the Articles of Confederation. The first was John Hanson, in 1781. His exact title was the "President of the United States in Congress Assembled.

What

Because the Articles were too weak. It did not give Congress the powers to do what it needed to do. Originally, all that was going to be done was a correction to the Articles. But when the Founders realized the Articles sucked and couldn't be fixed, they just wrote the Constitution instead.
