Answer: No court, no authority, states wanted more power, no taxing, no executive branch, printed money, central gov was weak

Explanation: Under the AOC, there was no judicial branch (no court) or executive. They only have a unicameral legislature. The states wanted and had most of the power, making the central government weak, and they had no power to tax, and to make money, they printed it, but that caused inflation making it worthless.
