Changes+of+the+new+nation+7

This is mainly bout the Ariticles of confederation

What is a Article of confederation?

--It was a constitution written during the American Revolution. --Tried to establish the powers of the Nation Government

They had problems? Say what?
 * Well the articles was weak
 * Congress had no power to TAX or regulate COMMERCE (trade)
 * Only one vote for each state
 * Didn't have an Executive or Judical branch

There are like 5 problems we are required to know

Number 1
 * It was weak (uh duh)
 * Gave the states authority over their own affairs (let them do whatever, states had the most power)

Number 2
 * Congress basicly couldn't do nothing much
 * Their authority was limited
 * The powers Congress didn't have, the states did
 * Congress could declare war and peace but cannot levy taxes
 * They could make laws, but the states didn't have to follow them
 * Crazy huh?

Number 3
 * N0 C0MM0N CURRENCY, THiS MEANS M0NEY...Y0U KN0W, D0LLAH D0LLAH BiLLS YALL

Number 4
 * The states only had one vote
 * It was really meant to make things equal
 * But uh, the people thought otherwise
 * Many people thought representation should be based on the # of people in the state.
 * states with the most people should have more votes

And Number 5 
 * No executive of Judical branch
 * Uhm, well that ain't gonna work.
 * Who's gonna CARRY out the laws?
 * How are you gonna tell if laws are fair?
 * How people gonna obey the laws?
 * yeah, thats a problem.
