Answer:
The weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation:
- Congress could not levy taxes (It did not have the power to tax citizens and it was almost impossible to pay for the costs of the American Revolution
.)
- Congress could not control trade. (either national or foreign)
- Nine of the states had to agree to pass a law. (The approval of only nine states was required to ratify laws.)
- There was no national court system. (The country did not have the power to enforce laws.)
- There was no executive to enforce the laws.
