Answer:

Given: Which of the following was not a weakness of the articles of confederation (1781-1789)? A) a weak "league of friendship" among the states

B) the requirement of unanimous approval by all 13 states for amendments

C) no judicial branch

D) no congressional power to impose taxes

The articles state that the States are entered into a firm league of friendship with each other. This is to improve their common defense, the security of their liberties, general welfare, and so on. Thus the league of friendship is not a weakness. Which means that the answer is A).

Nine of the 13 states are needed to ratify a bill before it becomes a law and all states are needed to accept an amendment, thus B) is a weakness of the articles.

The government under the articles of confederation only contained one legislative body and provided no permanent national judiciary, thus C) is a weakness of the articles.

The Federal government was not able to impose taxes and thus D) is also a weakness of the articles.

OTHER WEAKNESSES

Little or no enforcement of the laws made by the President.

States print their own currency.

No foreign policy.

No federal army.

Lack of power over the states.

Strong state governments and weak federal government.

Each state has one vote, regardless of size.

CONCLUSION: A) “a weak league of friendship among the states” is not a weakness.

Explanation:

• Weaknesses under the Articles of Confederation:

• Problems within Congress-

-Congress had trouble passing laws (9 of the 13 states had to agree before any laws could be passed)

-There was no president or executive branch (no way to make sure that laws passed by Congress were carried out)

- Congress did not have the power to collect the taxes needed to pay for the expenses of the national government

- Congress could not pay the nation's debt nor could it provide government programs and services since it could not force the states into paying money

- no judicial system:

no courts to interpret laws or to judge those that broke(national court system did not exist)

- changing the Articles of Confederation was nearly impossible (A unanimous vote of all 13 states was required before any changes could be made). The way I see it is that all the answers listed are weaknesses that why I am confused...after reading this do you still think it would be answer B?
