Question

In a chart, identify at least three reasons Americans believed the Articles of Confederation needed to be strengthened​

Answer 1

Three reasons why the Articles of Confederation were abandoned:

1. The central government could not collect taxes. It depended on voluntary donations from the states, and as a consequence, it was permanently broke.

2. It could not keep an standing army - It depended on voluntary or temporary recruits, and as a consequence, the central goverment was weak and defenseless.

3. It could conduct a coherent and unified foreign policy. Invidual states could pursue their own foreign policy, for example, some states favored isolationism over interventionism and viceversa.
