Most Honorable
Delegates,
I recommend that you
tell the state leaders that these three weaknesses in the Articles of
Confederati
on must be addressed. They require a new plan for government. The
three greatest weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation are the following:
·
It did not have power
to tax
·
It did not have
power to enforce laws
·
Congress lacked strong
and steady leadership
Tell them the first
one is a problem because ________________________________________
________________________________________________________. The second one is a
great problem because ____________________________________________________________.
The third one is also a struggle
because_______________________________________________.
The first one is a problem because if they have no power to tax then people can do whatever they want and that will cause chaos it will also leave the government bankrupt. The second is a problem because if there is no law enforcement then crime rates will rise. The third one is a problem because bad leadership could end up making the confederate loose the war against the union and cause the confederacy to crumble.
