Laws were diffucult to pass since they required a consensus of nine states.

Amendments to laws required a unanimous vote.

Explanation:

A unicameral legislature means that it has only one branch, the Articles of Confederation established a legislative power carried out by the Congress of the Confederation. The members of Congress were chosen by the legislatures of each state. There were 13 states in total and a majority of 9 votes were needed to pass a law. Each state had one vote regardless of its size of population. The only action that required a unanimous vote was the amendment of an already existing law.
