Each states had one vote no matter is population. This meant that it was almost impossible to get any law passed. Even if Virginia, a very large state all agreed on a law, Rhode island, the smallest state all disagreed on the law their vote would count as the same amount. Instead of this vote it should have been just majority.

The only branch of government was Congress, this meant that their was no executive branch or national court system. With only one branch their was no separation of powers meaning only congress had any power in the central government. Also with no Judicial branch lower level courts had the final say no matter what. If the person did not agree with that verdict or the court made a mistake, then he/she could not appeal it to a higher court. An easy fix to this is to establish an national court system and an executive branch.

The Articles of Confederation may have had a few good strengths but ultimately the weaknesses made it fail. One of the Biggest failure of the Articles of Confederation was the lack of a judicial system and executive branch. This Really hurt the national government because without a president their was no one to enforce the laws. and no one to check the power of Congress. Also with no Judicial system and national court then their was no one to interpret the law. Another major weakness that led to the failure of the United States first government was the fact that the states could refuse to give Congress soldiers and money. This led to Congress being broke all the time and not being able to pay their debts from the revolutionary war. Also with the ability of the states being able refuse giving Congress soldiers, this could really fire back on them in times of war. Another major weakness of the Articles of Confederation was Congress, each state had one vote no matter its population leading to large arguments between large and small states. Also i Congress it took a 9/13 vote to pass a law, this made it almost impossible to pass a law since everyone has very split opinions. This is why the Articles of Confederation eventually failed forcing delegates to revise it or start all over.
