I'll list all :)

Each state had one vote in the legislative branch.

The government did not have an executive branch.

The government did not have a separate judicial branch.

Congress could not create taxes.

Congress could not raise a national military separate from the states.

Each state printed its own currency.

Congress could not control trade between states and with other nations.

New laws would require the support of nine of the 13 states, more than a majority.

The Articles of Confederation required unanimous agreement of the states to amend the document.
