Articles of Confederation

Why were the Articles of Confederation so weak? What we didn’t like about the British... Taxation without representation Large central government (monarchy) had all the power Colonies always had to listen to the King/Parliament. All power was in the King’s/Parliament’s hands. King/Parliament could change the rules/laws any time. So the Articles of Confederation… Federal government could not tax. States didn’t have to follow national laws and treaties. States had their own laws and didn’t have to follow any other states’ laws. No executive branch or national court system. Any amendment required all 13 states to agree.

What’s the Problem? Federal government could not tax. States didn’t have to follow national laws and treaties. Each State had its own laws. No executive branch or national court system. Any amendment required all 13 states to agree.
