Some Weaknesses of the Articles

The articles created no separate executive department to carry out and enforce the acts of Congress and no national court system to interpret the meaning of laws.

To make a change to the Articles, it had to be decided unanimously by all states. Also, 9 out of the 13 states had to approve any major law before it was passed.

There was no standing army to protect the nation.

Each state could create its own foreign policy, including the passage of treaties.
Each state could create its own money and it might not be accepted in other states. The war left a huge debt, but the Articles didn't allow congress to collect taxes, only to ask for money from the states.

The central government could not regulate commerce between the states.

The Articles of Confederation, the first official government of the United States had many serious weaknesses. 1) Under the Articles there was only a unicameral legislature so that there was no separation of powers. 2) The central government under the Articles was too weak since the majority of the power rested with the states. 3) Congress, under the Articles, did not have the power to tax which meant that they could never put their finances in order. 4) In order to change or amend the Articles, unanimous approval of the states was required which essentially meant that changes to the Articles were impossible. 5) For any major laws to pass, they had to be approved by 9 of the 13 states which proved so hard to do that even the normal business of running a government was difficult. 6) Under the Articles, Congress did not have the power to regulate commerce which would cause competition between states, as well as diplomatic issues,

Federalism and the federal system define the basic structure of American government. There were many disagreements at the Constitutional Convention. Many delegates feared a national government that was too strong and many delegates feared that states' rights would merely continue the weak form of government under the Articles. The Constitution created a federal system of government (federalism) as a compromise. Under federalism, power is shared and divided between national and state governments. Both levels have their own agencies and officials and directly affect the people. The Founding Fathers really had no other choice except federalism. The weak union created under the Articles would not work yet people did not want to give all the power to a national government. Federalism was the middle ground--compromise--a way to distribute authority between the states and the national government.

Free speech is limited because you can say whatever it is that you would like to say as long as it does not impose on another person's rights or slander or libel another person. Free speech does not give you the right to copy the work of other people. It also does not give you the right to plan a crime (that is conspiracy) or to commit treason. It does not give you the right to make threats of illegal acts. It does not give the right to intentionally cause harm by panic (you can't shout "bomb" in the subway). It does not give the right to interfere with the normal workings of government and industry (for example, you can't walk into the DMV and start screaming political slogans; you also can't shout down your teacher in school.)
