Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Articles of Confederation created a Nation that was “a league of friendship and perpetual union, ” but it was the state governments that had most of the power under the Articles, with little power given to the central government.
Detailed explanation-3: -Their system of government was described in the Articles of Confederation. In this system, the state governments had most of the power. The Federal Government was very weak.
