... discourage African Americans from voting.

Poll taxes means you have to pay a tax before allowed to vote.  That's a way of preventing poor persons (like blacks in the South) from voting.

In addition to poll taxes, other measures were also used to block blacks from participating in the voting process. For instance, literacy tests would require persons to pass certain standards of reading and writing in order to qualify for voting.  These tests were aimed at blacks, who had not had access to the same education as whites.

How did the weak national government created by the articles of confederation cause problems for the new nation
nordsb [41]
The national government wasn’t able to tax the states leaving them without money, they count draft an army, leaving them with no power, etc. The flaws in the articles can be seen in Shay’s Rebellion when the farmers took over an arsenal and rebelled and the national government had no army to stop them so states had to rely on militias which was not effective.
