Detailed explanation-1: -Concerned with the accumulation of power in too few hands, the Articles did not establish an executive branch and they greatly circumscribed the role of courts. Even Congress had only those powers “expressly delegated” to it by the states.
Detailed explanation-2: -Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no executive or judicial branch, and the legislative body was a single body appointed by the state legislatures.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Articles created a national government centered on the legislative branch, which was comprised of a single house. There was no separate executive branch or judicial branch. The delegates in Congress voted by state-with each state receiving one vote, regardless of its population.
