The Articles of Confederation had many crucial flaws. With the Articles of Confederation there was only a unicameral legislatue so there was no seperation of powers. The central government was to weak under the Articles of Confederation since the states had all of the power. Congress also couldn't tax therefore they couldnt get their finances back on track. Also in order to change or amend the Articles, they had to be unanimously approved which basically meant that changing the Articles of the Confederation was impossible and no corrections could be made. And also for any major law to be passed 9 of the states would have to approve it which was difficult to do which made running the government difficult also. Also under the Articles of confederation congress did not have the right to regulate commerce because of this there was competiton between the states and there was also diplomatic issues. The Articles of Confederation didn't give the government total control over trade so the nation saw very little revenue. This was horrible because the states dependend on import trade and exchange as their main source of revenue. Also since the Congress could only request money from the states tthey didnt have enough money to pay soldiers, bondholders and others.**//__
