Answer 1

Articles of Confederation"

All thirteen states had to approve amendments to the Articles. In my opinion, this is the main strength and at the same time a weakness of the confederation. This feature aims to represent all states in the approval of the articles, that means everybody has something to say in the revision of articles.
