    The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts. States had also fallen into debt and were raising taxes to pay off those debts.

    Inflation. The continental dollars were not backed by gold or silver so their value was inflated.

    Jealousy and Arguing among states ...

    Tariff Wars (tax wars) ...
