Question

The Articles of Confederation proved for many to be an ineffective way to run the new Republican government of the United States. Why did some believe that the Articles could not simply be amended, but had to be replaced by a more effective government? Who was involved and did they have legitimate concerns about the weakness of the Articles?

Answer 1

The Articles could not simply be amended, but had to be replaced by a more effective government because it was practically impossible to change the document without the consent of all 13 states.

All 13 states would have to concur on a change because the Articles required unanimous consent for any amendments. That rule made it impossible for the Articles to be modified after the war with Britain ended in 1783 because of the rivalries between the states.

On November 15, 1777, the Continental Congress ratified the Articles of Confederation, the country's first constitution.

There was no taxing authority in Congress. Foreign and interstate commerce could not be regulated by Congress. Any laws passed by Congress were not enforced by the executive branch. There was no system of federal courts.
