Such a government is a form of totalitarianism such as we see in North Korea today.
Answer:
- It gave too much power to the states.
- It did not allow Congress to issue currency.
Explanation:
When the framers of the Articles of Confederation designed it, they did not want a Federal government that would be too powerful. They therefore gave Congress reduced powers that would keep it subservient to states.
The states therefore had too much power. They could negotiate trade deals with each other and decided the amount of taxes they would give the Federal government. They could also issue their own currency which meant that this was another power that Congress did not have.
Southerners were critical of the North and believed that the North's wage labor system was a bad system that they had no interest in putting into place in the south. The southern economy was based on slave labor and southerners wanted to continue the practice of slavery and prevent any transition away from this.
