Question

5. Which of the following was a weakness of the Articles of Confederation?

Answer 1

I can't see the options but it was weak for many reasons that include:

• Government couldn't enforce any rules/laws

• The States had more power than the government

• Problems in the article not easy to fix

• Lack of equal access for citizens/ populous states underrepresented

• Enforcing and implementing acts passed by Congress was impossible

• States could ignore request for militia/troops; hard to coordinate national defense

Answer 2

• Congress had not have the power to tax
• There wasn't an executive branch to enforce any acts passed by the congress.
