Kaila Crane · Answer 1

failure to regulate trade among the states. Also a failure to regulate taxation from the states. Congress had few effective means to enforce its laws, raise revenue, or regulate the economy.

Yesenia · Answer 2

The Articles of Confederation failed because they did not give Congress and the national government enough power. The new United States just fought a war to end what they considered tyrannical rule of a strong government that overpowered local government and the leaders of the U. S. feared a powerful central government.
