AP US History question:

Analyze the degree to which the Articles of Confederation provided an effective form of government with respect to any TWO of the following: foreign relations, western lands, economic conditions.

The Articles of Confederation were incredibly "weak" in the sense that they didn't provide for any strong central power to take control over matters of national interest. With foreign relations, they made it impossible for the nation to form treaties and pay of debts, and in terms of economic conditions they made trade almost impossible between the states because there was no centralized currency.
