Answer:

Many conflicts and people falling into debt

Step-by-step explanation:

When the Articles were created, there was only one branch of government (legislative), and they gave most power to the states. Due to this, congress couldn't collect taxes, they also couldn't handle problems with foreign powers, and couldn't regulate trade and prices. With this, the country fell into even more debt, which of course made people angry, and started a lot of conflict and division.
