The Article of confederation needed a compromise before the agreement of all the 13 states.

Explanation:The Article of confederation created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government. The need for a stronger government was soon felt and led to constitutional convention in 1787. The purpose of this article was to plan the structure of new government and create confederation. It was created by second continental government.

The main power of congress was to make the laws.

Since congress could not collect taxes so government was always short of money. There was no executive branch so there was no one to enforce

the laws.

The major problem of this article was weak central government. The central government kept powers in the hands of state government.

Each state having one vote each was a problem, because states with small population was overriding the larger ones, which was unfair.
