I saw this you can put it in your own words. The Articles had problems with Currency, Interstate Commerce, Foreign Trade, and Foreign Affairs. The problem with the Currency was that many states printed their own money so the national currency became almost worthless. The problem with Interstate Commerce was states placed tariffs on each others goods which combined with currency problems led to a decline of interstate commerce. The problem with Foreign Trade was that other countries placed tariffs and trade restrictions on United States goods, and the United States were not able to respond. The absence of a strong navy also left United States merchant ships vulnerable to pirates. There were many problems with Foreign Affairs, such as the inability of the national government to raise an army left the US vulnerable. For example, the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War, was not enforced. As a result, the British continued to occupy forts in the Northwest Territory which were parts of the US. Some weaknesses were that the government was unicameral. There was no executive branch in the government and there was no court system. The national government could not collect taxes, could not raise an army, and could not regulate trade. Other weaknesses were that each state only had one vote no matter how big the state was. The government would need a 2/3 majority to pass legislation and the only way to amend the articles was to have a unanimous vote. Those are the four major problems with the articles of Confederation.
