1. All states had to approve amendments: Under the Articles of Confederation, any amendments to the Articles required the unanimous consent of all 13 states. This made it incredibly difficult to make any changes or improvements to the Articles, as it was challenging to get all states to agree on a common course of action. This lack of flexibility and adaptability hindered the ability of the government to address issues and respond to changing circumstances effectively.
2. The central government held too much power: The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government with limited powers. The central government had no authority to tax, regulate trade, or enforce its laws and decisions. This lack of centralized power weakened the ability of the government to effectively govern and carry out its functions. Additionally, without a strong central authority, it was challenging to maintain unity and coordination among the states, leading to difficulties in making decisions and resolving conflicts.
