Why were the Articles of Confederation not working well enough? In other words, what powers did the national government (Confederation Congress) need that it did not have?

Answer 1

Congress wasn't strong enough to enforce laws. They also couldn't raise taxes. Since they couldn't raise taxes, they couldn't make the new nation pay their debts from the Revolutionary War. The government only had a legislative branch of government so they were missing the judicial and executive branches of law.
