1/23 Articles of Confederation

What was it? The articles are like a set of rules to keep the thirteen states in line.

Why was it created? The Articles of Confederation was created to unite the thirteen states into a kind of friendship.

What were its main features? It's main features were the rights to people. How much freedom we get and how to treat other people.

Why did it have these features? So we could keep all the states in peace, and have no argument on what is right or wrong, and how to run things.

   The weakness in this as a plan of government is we have a lot of freedom according to the constituion. The government is basically set out to control us and what we pay or do, and basically they couldn't. They couldn't tax us, and the national government couldn't force states to do anything.

Article number 2. Article number 5. Article number 1. Article number 10. Article number 12.
 The articles caused failure of the government because it states that the will of the people are the basis of the articles.
