Signing treaties meant we could make allies with other countries in times of need. (War, ect.)

Post offices and post roads meant that the government could communicate in more of an easier way and a faster way to get messages across.

Not being able to pass laws would make it hard to control the states and the people's actions.

Not having an executive branch meant that there would be no President the run the country and there would be no Vice President neither a cabinet that ties into law making 

Not having a judicial branch meant there could be no Supreme Court or other federal courts and also ties into the laws and having no one to verify the other branches decisions.

Not having a strong central government meant that with no central leadership it would be hard to control foreign affairs and having one legislature would mean 
Not being able to regulate trade meant they could not make any agreements with foreign countries.

The lack of branches in the government and the lack of the government made it unbalanced. Having that one branch of government did not give the United States any leadership and gave to much power to the states which also led the Articles to failure. The states needed a new constitution because the weaknesses made the governments power unbalanced and it made the people in the states unhappy.]]> 2016-11-30 21:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/teddysearcy/ogynfor6hw81/wish/140968311 teddysearcy https://padlet.com/teddysearcy/ogynfor6hw81/wish/140969811 This picture shows Thomas Jefferson and other people of the states discussing how they could fix the Articles of Confederation]]> 2016-11-30 21:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/teddysearcy/ogynfor6hw81/wish/140969811 teddysearcy https://padlet.com/teddysearcy/ogynfor6hw81/wish/140971025 Shay's Rebellion was an act of weakness towards the government. it was an angry group of farmers that rebelled against the government because the weaknesses of the Articles were affecting them.]]> 2016-11-30 21:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/teddysearcy/ogynfor6hw81/wish/140971025
