  • The Articles of Confederation created as a governing agreement among the 13 original colonies/states to fight the Revolution and establish some limited federal power.
  • The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts.
  • The Articles gave Congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws, so if some officials were created to allow law enforcement, things could have changed.

Allowed americans to realize that despite their fears of a potential monarchy, they would need to allow their government some powers in order for the united states to function as anything other than a group of vaguely related allies.Weaknesses: government was extremely weak, decentralized, and somewhat vague, having very few clearly defined powers. Defined itself as a “league of friendship” rather than a coherent government.Solution: A strong central government is ok when checks and balances are in play, preventing a monarchy or dictatorship. This allows it to have more powers without oppressing the governed. henryliechty_20 https://padlet.com/samuelrodriguez_20/dc7lstvhq9zz/wish/313981797 2018-12-12 18:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/samuelrodriguez_20/dc7lstvhq9zz/wish/313981797 1. it was a precursor to the constitution we use today2. the federal government was too weak under the articles to enforce their laws and therefore had no power3. the collapse of the articles due to the weakness of the federal government could have been avoided by giving the federal government more power in the first place to actually enforce their laws https://padlet.com/samuelrodriguez_20/dc7lstvhq9zz/wish/313982348

    weaknesses: under the articles federal government was too weak to enforce laws
    avoided: the power to levy taxes was given to the states which was a strong factor in making the federal government weak, so there could have been more powers given to the federal government under the articles]]>     2018-12-12 18:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/samuelrodriguez_20/dc7lstvhq9zz/wish/313983166
