''Weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation:''
''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.''

b/c the articles of confederation
1.) had no army so they couldn't even stop shays rebellion which was only led by farmers and peasants!
2.) the states had more power than the federation (central) government so there was no control
3.) they did not have enough trade so the markets crashed as well
P.S.-- shays rebellion made the government realize all these faults in the articles of confederation

it was because they gave too much power to state governments and not enough power to the federal(national) government.
