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.

Chairman's Letter
“UAT Group and its subsidiaries, operate with the understanding that what we do matters and as such our decisions bear consequences.”
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
First, I would like to wish everyone a prosperous New Year and I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.
As the Chief Executive of a publicly traded company I am the fiduciary for all shareholders, many of whom have invested in UAT Group based on long-term goals such as retirement or to pay for a childs higher education. As such, I advocate and otherwise direct corporate governance practices that are in keeping with long-term value creation for our shareholders and clients. Last year I asked my executive team to help me outline a new strategic frame-work for long-term value creation that could be completed within the year. I am pleased to report that we have been successful in our execution and were so against significant odds.
Over the course of the past 12 months, many of the assumptions on which our plans were based, including low interest rates on capital and an expectation for continued globalization, have failed to sustain despite indicators to the contrary. With U.S. reflation, increasing rates, renewed growth, the increasing turbulence in Asia as a catalyst to geopolitical tensions, the prospective withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union reshaping Europe and the United States undergoing a fundamental reformation of long held fiscal strategies; the economic environment has been and remains quite volatile. This does not mean that this company or the market at large is expected to be impacted negatively but it is a factor when crafting a long-term execution strategy.
The Madagascar Plan was a proposal by the Nazi German government to forcibly relocate the Jewish population of Europe to the island of Madagascar. Franz Rademacher, head of the Jewish Department of the German Foreign Office, proposed the idea in June 1940, shortly before the Fall of France. The proposal called for the handing over of control of Madagascar, then a French colony, to Germany as part of the French surrender terms.
The idea of re-settling Polish Jews in Madagascar was investigated by the Polish government in 1937,[1][2] but the task force sent to evaluate the island's potential determined that only 5,000 to 7,000 families could be accommodated, or even as few as 500 families by some estimates.[a] Because efforts by the Nazis to encourage the emigration of the Jewish population of Germany before World War II were only partially successful, the idea of deporting Jews to Madagascar was revived by the Nazi government in 1940.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!
