The AOC (Articles of Confederation) really limited the power of Congress. They could not...
• Collect Taxes
• Conduct foreign policy
• Could not enforce laws
There were many other problems with the AOC as well. A huge one was that it was practically impossible to amend; all 13 states needed to unanimously agree on a change. Given the rivalry between the States, and the fact that Rhode Island hardly showed up for anything, it would be impossible to fix the AOC.
Congress also could not pay off the national debt. The US owed a whole lot of money after fighting the war. However, due to the fact that Congress couldn’t collect taxes, the government had to print more money which caused massive problems with the economy.
I hope you found this interesting! Good luck!!
The desire of this land was because it was surrounded by an ocean and fish were in the ocean surrounding Japan.
The fourteenth Amendment provides equal protection for Americans. This means that no matter your age, race, gender, religion, etc, you will be treated equally by the government. Another one is immunity. This basically means that the states cannot take away certain rights we get from the Constitution. There are numerous rights the fourteenth Amendment give us and those are just two.

Articles of Confederation were established to govern the new country,
with a weak executive power. It didn't take long before disputes between
states and other matters caused them to rethink their plan and develop
the US Constitution, with a more powerful executive branch (US
President).
hope it helps
