The purpose of the Articles was to prevent the states from becoming the British government that they had just rebelled from. But, there were many flaws in the government that this document would create. Congress could make laws, but could not enforce them. And, to pass a law, 9 of 13 states had to vote yes. Congress also had no power of taxation. Another flaw was that there was no common currency between the states. There was no executive or judicial branch either. These flaws resulted in the replacement of the Articles for the Constitution we still have today. ]]> 2017-02-02 15:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/smiller78/dfz35sz16ns5/wish/151179950 https://padlet.com/smiller78/dfz35sz16ns5/wish/151180683 John Dickinson wrote the Articles of Confederation.
