Answer:

The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts. States

had also fallen into debt and were raising taxes to pay off those debts

hope this helps! <3
