Question

Describe the goverment of the articles of the conferstion and summerixe its achivements and failures

Answer 1

Under the Articles of Confederation there was no American government, so it couldn't achieve anything. The Continental Congress, though, did have several major achievements: Fighting and winning the war. Without that achievement there would never have been a United States and nothing else would matter. The major downfall of the Articles of Confederation was simply weakness. The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts.
