The Articles of Confederation failed because some of the strengths were actually weaknesses. One of the strengths was that congress could request soldiers or money from the states, but the states could decline the request from congress. Also without a president who is there to enforce the laws passed by congress, and without a national court system who is there to interpret the laws made by congress.

Congress could settle conflicts among states, they could also make treaties, the AOC limited government power, minting coins, and borrow money.

Congress could settle conflicts among states, this is a strength because if congress was not able to settle conflicts among states the states could fight over land and start a war. If the AOC did not allow congress to make treaties then the United States of America would not have any allies. The AOC also limited government power, if the AOC didn't limit central governments power the government could use that power for harmful reasons. The states had the power to make currency and if the states did not have this power the United States of America would not have a national currency. Lastly, congress could ask the states for money or soldiers and if congress could not do this then how would they get money or soldiers for war.

The AOC had its weaknesses like the states could decline congresses request for money or soldiers, and the AOC did not have a president or a national court system. Which means the AOC was a unicameral.

The states could decline the request from congress for soldiers or money, this is a weakness because the states could decline the request. This weakness could be improved by not allowing states to decline the request from congress. The AOC did not have a judicial branch or a executive branch, this is a weakness because without a executive branch, who is going to enforce the laws passed by congress. Without a national court system who is going to tell you how to follow the laws passed by congress. This could be improved on my adding a executive branch and a judicial branch.
