Strengths-

The Government negotiated an end to the American Revolution in the Treaty of Paris, signed in 1783.
The Government established the Departments of Foreign Affairs, War, Marine, and Treasury.
Weaknesses-
Congress had no power to coin money, therefore each state developed its own currency.
Congress was unable to regulate interstate and foreign commerce; some states refused to pay for goods they
purchased from abroad.
Congress was unable to impose taxes; it could only borrow money on credit.
No national court system was established to protect the rights of U.S. citizens.
No executive branch was established to enforce laws.
Amendments could be added only with the approval
of all 13 states.
Hope this helps! Stay Safe!
