Answer 1

The major problem with the Articles of Confederation was that it gave the states too much power

Step-by-step explanation:

The articles of confederation had laid down the basis on which the colonies sought independence and form an independent government.

However, while the articles were completely perfect in times of unity against the British, cracks could quickly be seen.

The issue was that the federal government had very little power and when the war ended, it was quickly realized that if a new nation needs to prosper it needs to have a strong central government that can withstand international diplomacy,trade and defense.
