Question
why was it so hard to change the articles of confederation? due to the war, it was impossible for congress to meet to even consider any changes. it required the unanimous consent of all 13 states and they couldnt all agree on anything. the supreme court kept rejecting any changes the states asked congress to make to the articles. rewatch
The Articles of Confederation, the first U.S. governing document, had a high bar for amendments: it required all 13 states to agree unanimously. With each state having distinct interests, reaching full consensus on any changes was extremely difficult. The other options are incorrect: Congress could meet during the post-war period, and there was no strong Supreme Court at the time of the Articles to block changes.
