This is a long answer.
Strengths
Not many historians today talk about the strengths of the Articles of Confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. The Articles did set the legislative body, Congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. Congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. Disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to Congress. The document also stipulated that Canada was allowed to enter the Union if they desired.
Weaknesses
There were more weaknesses than strengths under the Articles of Confederation. The lack of power given to the Continental Congress strangled the federal government. The Articles gave Congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. If a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. Congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. Without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. Amending the Articles of Confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
Answer:
The people in this society has been brainwashed by the government so much to the point where they have been taught that books do no one any good, and they are silly works of fantasy that don’t give you any instant pleasure. The government and the enlightened few understood that books educate the people to know what the government is doing is wrong, and that they should need the facts. The government liked keeping things on the need-to-know and keeping the people happy and ignorant. Their attention spans had been worn down by continuously shortening shows on TV and giving the people exactly what they want when they want it. Books are too much work for very little gain. They cannot understand people who get enjoyment from reading, and when one does not understand something, they are inherently afraid of it. So naturally, they become afraid of readers, and want them out of their lives. The government helps them do that, so they trust their leaders to that point and let them go about their work, as it means that they continue to be happy.
