Revolutions need momentum. They also need a very smart, well educated, as well as charismatic person to take control. Revolutions are not about little people rising up against the rich and powerful. It is a transfer of positions of power between the leader class.
I would say the most significant weaknesses of the government under the Articles of Confederation was the fact that the central government was too weak to enforce laws and couldn't impose taxes. The states had the most authority and since the government wasn't able to impose taxes, it doesn't have enough funds for a military (and it had to ask the states for troops). Without a strong military, it will be hard to defend the nation well if anything should occur.
The reliance could be seen on how we acquire our military draft.
For example, countries such as Russia and south Korea implemented a mandatory military services for all adult men. (they're require to served at the military for around 1-2 years).
United states on the other hand, does not implement such mandatory military draft. All of our forces were acquired through voluntary methods without government force.
Since the nature of war has changed, voluntary method is more than enough since war that conducted on modern time would most likely relied on mass destruction weapons or advanced vehicles.
