- There was no president or national court system]]> 2018-12-05 14:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311361268 What Was So Good About the Strengths? brennacox https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311362551 A limited government helped congress not have too much power. Being able to settle conflicts meant that they weren't in fights with other countries all the time. Negotiating treaties helped them agree with another country to do something together and not be rivals. Congress could borrow money which could help them pay for the things they needed. They could also mint coins which helped the nation have the same currency.]]> 2018-12-05 14:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311362551 Why were the weaknesses so bad? How could they have been improved? brennacox https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311785401 Congress had no one to check on them. They could've gotten a president at the least. States didn't have to pay taxes if they didn't want to, this way congress wasn't getting money, the states didn't have to take requests from congress. They could've made laws so the states couldn't refuse to pay taxes and requests]]> 2018-12-06 13:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311785401 Summary brennacox https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311786387 The Articles of Confederation failed because congress had little to no control. There was no executive or judicial branch. Therefore congress had no one to check over them.]]> 2018-12-06 13:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311786387 brennacox https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311789562 2018-12-06 13:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/brennacox/8yctz4j8nf3m/wish/311789562
