Question

articles of confederation workshop
objective: identify the weakness with a solution.
weakness
solution
no national army
congress can not tax (only request funds.)
each state has only 1 judge
no executive to enforce laws or direct national policy
no national control over interstate or foreign trade

Explanation:

Each weakness of the Articles of Confederation is paired with a corresponding solution that was later addressed in the U.S. Constitution:

1. For the lack of a national army, the solution established a federal government with the power to raise and maintain a national military.
2. For Congress being unable to tax (only request funds), the solution granted Congress the explicit power to levy and collect taxes.
3. For each state having only one vote (equal representation regardless of size), the solution created a bicameral legislature: the Senate (equal state representation) and the House of Representatives (representation based on state population).
4. For no executive to enforce laws, the solution established a federal executive branch (the President) with the power to enforce federal laws.
5. For no national control over trade, the solution granted Congress the power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce.
