Why don't you try reading the Articles of Confederation for yourself to determine what it says for yourself? Any good history text on the subject of American history, at least one designed for upper grade levels, will have a fair summary of the shortcomings of the document. I will give you a fair hint at the underlying problem- although the Articles were an attempt to form a united government system, it had no teeth and was not binding on the individual colonies. Now go read it for yourself and do your own homework. Most people here are not going to even know what you are talking about, and those of us who do are not interested in doing your work for you.
