Text Box: The Articles of Confederation had its strengths, but it also had its weaknesses.   For example, one problem was Government was not allowed to tax people. In the process, the government had economy problems.  The Congress did not have the power to draft men into the army. The Articles of Confederation had no way to stop problems, like riots and invasions. The government had nobody to control these riots and invasions. They also had no national court system.  Because of this, the disputes of the states had to be dealt within one of the states courts, so the other state would be mad about going into the other state. 

The Articles of Confederation is insulting to our Colonies as long as our people!
