Long-term v. short-term presidency: Some wanted lifelong terms down to two year terms--there were concerns of chaotic changes not allowing for stability and the states' rights side (Anti-Federalists) wanted the ability to change power often.
There were also discussions regarding qualifications and powers of the president. Most of the disagreements were decided by compromise leading to the government that is created out of the Constitutional Convention.
Answer:
Because of several reasons explained below.
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation unified the 13 Colonies that fought the American Revolution War. John Dickinson wrote the draft used as the basis of these Articles. The 13 states ratified them and they went into effect in March, 1781.
Among the main weaknesses, we can list some:
Congress did not have the power to tax, so the incomes were little to none.
Court system did not exist.
To approve a law, a majority of 9 out of 13 people was required, making it more difficult.
An unanimous vote was required for Amendments.
Even though every state had its own army, it was difficult for the nation to put together a national army.
Due to this reasons, the Articles failed to create a long-term government.
