The Articles of Confederation failed because , first the government was way to weak . Also the congress didn't even have a good , full strong army to fight back . When the other countries that would secondly refuse request from congress if they didn't want to do them . Congress couldn't ask the other countries for men to fight because they would just refuse the request . This made them see how weak their government was . As well as seeing that the countries were over powered and more on their own .
