1. **Weak Central Government**: The Articles of Confederation created a weak national government with no executive branch, hindering effective leadership and decision-making.
2. **Inability to Tax**: Congress lacked the power to levy taxes, leading to financial instability and an inability to pay debts or support a military.
3. **Difficult Amendments**: Amendments required unanimous consent from all states, making it nearly impossible to address issues and adapt to changing needs.
These weaknesses prompted calls for a stronger federal structure, culminating in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
