1. One weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that it lacked a strong central government with the power to tax. This weakness led to the writing of the US Constitution as the founding fathers realized the need for a federal government that could generate revenue to support the nation.
2. Another weakness of the Articles of Confederation was the lack of a national court system to resolve disputes between states. This weakness prompted the writing of the US Constitution as the framers recognized the need for a central court system to provide uniformity and ensure justice across the nation.
