Why did the Articles of Confederation sucked?

Question

from a viewpoint of a citizen?

Answer 1

they had no teeth - they gave the government all sorts of powers and jobs to do but they had no power to tax individuals or the states, so it all meant nothing - you cant build a highway system, an army, etc . . . without money. it was also a loose association of states, not a binding contract - i tell my kids its like the difference between dating someone and being married to them.

Answer 2

I don't think that it sucked
