• States could send 2-7 representatives, but each state had just one vote.

• Federal government only had the power to declare war, make treaties, & print money.

• It could not tax, regulate trade, or make an army.

• A law needed 9/13 votes to pass and all 13 states had to agree to change the Articles.

• All other powers belong to the states.
