Due to the Articles of Confederation's weaknesses, it was a failed attempt for many reasons. One being that they only had a legislative branch because they didn't have a president or a national court system. Another reason is because each state only had one vote in congress. This rule still applies no matter how many delegates are sent. States with larger populations did not like this set-up. The last reason is because states had the power to refuse to meet congresses requests. The Articles failed because everyone focused on the weaknesses rather than the strengths.
