The Articles of Confederation failed because of many weaknesses. The lack of government and branches of government made the government unbalanced. Having one branch of government, no leadership, the states having more power than the government cause the fallin  golf the Articles of Confederation. The colonies needed a new constitution because the weaknesses made government unbalanced and made the people un happy.

- Having only one branch or government made it hard to balance the branches of government and making one branch to powerful. Making there no president/cabnit (executive ) , and no Supreme court (judicial) made the legislative have to much power.
- A really big weakness is that the government gave too much power to the states/people. There should be an equal amount of power between the government and the people so government can enforce laws while the people do their part.
- Having no leadership with a president because there is no one to sign of laws, and be a leader in a country.
- The state's could refuse requests, and overall making the state's way to independent and not a United union. The state's even made there own money, overall the lack of government was a major thing.

- One major strength the AOC had was making treaties with Native Amercams and other countries. This meaning  your making an agreement and not causing wars and having a peaceful relationship which was good because that would cause for trading and etc.
- The AOC was a minor things in the colonies being on on the first constitutions uniting the colonies and making them hole. The constitution was the beginning of the United States.
- The forming of new states was a major strength and it would cause more resources and land for the colonies. Making it so 60,000 people in one state can form a new state, and it was a major strength.
