. Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress lacked the authority to regulate commerce, making it unable to protect or standardize trade between foreign nations and the various states.
The government under the articles of confederation was very weak and helpless, and the government could not do anything to support it. Congress could not tax which led them with a low amount of money. Congress was still in big debt from the war for Independence. Without money, Congress could not pay for armies or pay off their debt. Armies are important because government could defend themselves. They could not pass laws because they needed at least 9 votes which was hard to get. Another problem was Americans did not keep their promise to Britain to pay for damage done form the Revolutionary War. The nation entered an economic depression. States decided to print their own money, but it had no value which led to an inflation.
PLS LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS BECAUSE THE PARAGRAPH I WROTE IS NOT WELL STRUCTURED.
