What are five weaknesses of the articles of confederation

1. There was only one vote per state, regardless of its size

2. No power to regulate commerce or trade between the states, each state could put taxes on trade between states

3. national gov't didn't have power to tax. Revenue comes from states

4. Couldn't force states to obey its laws and taxation was ignored because they could not be enforced

5. No power to raise money to pay for action against border encroachments
