Detailed explanation-1: -Each state only had one vote in Congress, regardless of its population. The citizens of small states had proportionally more political power than the citizens of large states. The national government had no executive branch. The national government had no way of implementing or enforcing its legislative decisions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Congress under the Articles lacked authority to levy taxes. She could only request the states to contribute their fair share to the common treasury, but the requested amounts were not forthcoming. To remedy this defect, Congress applied to the states for power to lay duties and secure the public debts.
Detailed explanation-3: -The weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that Congress was not strong enough to enforce laws or raise taxes, making it difficult for the new nation to repay their debts from the Revolutionary War.
