Each state only has one vote so an agreement must be met before the vote is casted leave states will be under represented and small state will be over represented. Laws passed by 2/3rds vote and amendments had to be unanimous because of this it does not allow change in laws from having to agree with 2/3rds of the people. Could not levy direct taxes could only ask for contributors. No army relied on state militia. Could not regulate interstate and foreign trade. Could not levy import and export tariffs. Get 9 states to agree to a law and all 13 to amend the Articles. 13 different currency lead to dollors being worth more in certain states.]]> 2017-10-18 16:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/reedgeiger/z7g6x32rnr7z/wish/198343489 reedgeiger https://padlet.com/reedgeiger/z7g6x32rnr7z/wish/198343561 Treaty of Paris 1783 ending of the Revolutionary war.
