©CSCOPE 2009 Strengths Wage war Issue money Sign treaties (make peace) Set up post offices Appoint ambassadors Settle conflicts between states

©CSCOPE 2009 Weaknesses NO President (Executive) NO Army NO Courts (Judicial) NO Taxing Power (monetary problems) No power to enforce laws (regulate trade) States were sovereign One vote per state regardless of population 9/13 states to pass a law 13/13 states to amend (make changes)

©CSCOPE 2009 Effects/Results/Outcomes Northwest Ordinance of 1787 Set up rules for statehood once 60,000 people Outlawed slavery in new states (Northwest territories) Free education in new states Shays’ Rebellion It placed national attention on weaknesses of the government under the Articles. It showed that the government could not keep order and that a stronger national government was needed. It made it hard for the Confederation to ignore the weaknesses and called for meetings to “fix” the Articles which led to the Constitutional Convention.
