1) Lack of central authority and inability to enforce laws:
This weakness led to the writing of the US Constitution through a process of realizing the need for a stronger central government. The inability of the central government under the Articles of Confederation to enforce laws, regulate trade, or collect taxes effectively created a chaotic and disorganized system. It became apparent that a stronger governing document was necessary to provide a central authority that could oversee and enforce laws and regulations, which eventually led to the drafting of the US Constitution.
2) Inability to adequately address economic issues and regulate commerce:
The Articles of Confederation failed to provide a framework for the central government to manage economic problems such as national debt and trade imbalances. The lack of power to regulate commerce led to disputes between states regarding tariffs and caused economic instability. As a result, the need for a stronger central government that could effectively address and regulate economic issues became evident. This weakness of the Articles of Confederation influenced the drafting of the US Constitution, which granted the federal government more authority over economic matters and created a framework for national economic policies.
