Answer 2

The correct answer here is third option.

The main problem with the Articles of Confederation was that the federal government was simply too weak to establish and maintain order. The government depended on the states for funding and military as it did not have the power to levy taxes and provide the army it needed to be efficient. That is one of the major reasons why the Articles were replaced with a constitution.
