USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some people were afraid states might lose their independence. Different states had different needs for government to meet. The states all got along with each other. The government created by the Articles of Confederation had everything under control among the states.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. The need for a stronger Federal government soon became apparent and eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Articles of Confederation created a union of sovereign states. An assembly of delegates acted on behalf of the states they represented. Because the smaller states feared the domination of the larger ones, each state had one vote in the Confederation Congress, regardless of its size or population.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two days later, the Continental Congress sent the Articles to the states, which approved the new government in March 1781. Created to unify the 13 colonies, the Articles nevertheless established a largely decentralized government that vested most power in the states and in the national legislature.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Articles of Confederation were easy to change. Under the Articles, states with more people got more votes in Congress. Under the Articles, Congress did not have the power to collect taxes. Under the Articles, Congress could pass laws and force states to follow them.
