There were several primary reasons why the Articles of Confederation failed as a structure of government.
1. Weak central government: The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government with limited powers. This made it difficult for the government to effectively govern the states and address national issues.
2. Lack of taxation power: The central government under the Articles of Confederation had no power to levy taxes, which severely limited its ability to raise revenue and fund essential functions such as national defense and infrastructure.
3. Inability to regulate trade: The Articles of Confederation did not grant the central government the power to regulate interstate or foreign trade. This led to economic instability and disputes between states, as well as difficulties in negotiating trade agreements with foreign nations.
4. No national currency: The lack of a national currency and the inability of the central government to regulate monetary policy led to economic problems and hindered the development of a strong national economy.
5. No executive branch: The Articles of Confederation did not establish an executive branch of government, which meant there was no single leader or entity responsible for enforcing laws and carrying out the decisions of the government.
6. No national court system: The absence of a national court system meant there was no effective way to resolve disputes between states or interpret national laws, leading to confusion and inconsistency in the application of federal legislation.
These weaknesses ultimately led to a government that was unable to effectively govern the country, address national challenges, or maintain stability, prompting the need for a stronger and more centralized form of government, which resulted in the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution.
