We now know that America s first attempt at organizing government was not a success. In three to five well developed paragraphs, explain/discuss a minimum of three reasons for the failure of the Articles of Confederation.

I will provide some ideas for you to write the paragraphs on this topic. You might start with a short introduction explaining what the Articles of Confederation represents.

*Introduction: it might be considered a plan of government for the USA. a written agreement (18781) - 13 states participated.

*5 reasons for failure:

1 - weak national government;

2 - congress with no power to tax or regulate commerce;

3 - no common currency;

4-states only have 1 vote

5 - no execution or judicial branches.

You might use each reason to write a paragraph (just a suggestion)
