The Article of Confederation was America's first national constitution and some of it's weaknesses were: Congress could not impose taxes, Congress could not regulate trade, 9 of 13 states needed to agree to pass law, All states had to agree to amend the article, No executive branch to enforce laws passed by Congress, and No judicial branch to interpret laws passed by congress.
