Question

In 5 or more sentences, explain the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation government.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government. The central government did not possess enough power to enforce laws, regulate trade, or issue taxes. Laws could only be passed if 9 out of 13 states voted in favor of it, and each state only had one vote, regardless of population or size. There was no executive branch or judicial branch, making for an unbalanced government structure. State governments had more power than the central government, as they had control over their own respective states.
