Detailed explanation-1: -The Articles of Confederation served as the written document that established the functions of the national government of the United States after it declared independence from Great Britain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress lacked the authority to regulate commerce, making it unable to protect or standardize trade between foreign nations and the various states.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the 1780s, some members of the Congress were greatly concerned about the financial health of the republic, and they argued that the national government needed greater power, especially the power to tax. This required amending the Articles of Confederation with the consent of all the states.
