If you are talking about them trying to expand in to present-day Canada, then it brought renewed conflict with Britain (war of 1812)

The federal government was too weak no enforce their laws and couldnt levy taxes, and only could request taxes in the aricles, which was a main reason of its failure. There was no national courts set up in the articles or national currency. Im not sure exactly what the question is asking but im assuming its talking about how powers differed between the constitution and the articles and in conclusion I would say, after independance America was a baby country who was scared of the rights being incriminated once again so the central government had very little powers.
