Lesechka [4]

Why did the Articles of Confederation fail to create an effective, long-term government?
irina1246 [14]

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.

Why were kingdoms in west africa willing to sell slaves to europeans
ahrayia [7]
There has always been slavery inside Africa.  
(Sadly slavery is still in Africa today.)  

Europeans sold goods that the kingdoms wanted.  
The kingdoms kept pushing further and further into the interior.  
This created a continuous cycle.  

Whites were sold into slavery in Africa also.  
(They were captured from barbery pirates in North Africa.)
