1) Choose one of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. 2) EXPLAIN why it was a weakness and what problem(s) it caused for the new country. 3) PROPOSE an alternative solution: What would you do differently if you were helping to draft the NEW constitution?

Some of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation were that there was no national currency this meant that states made as much money as they wanted to pay off debt so some currency was worth less than other. Another weakness was that Congress couldn't tax the states. This meant that there was no way to pay back soldiers after the war.

The first governing system of the United States, the Articles of Confederation, placed most government power in the hands of the states. The weaknesses of this system led states to call for a new Constitution.
