Why did the articles of confederation fail

Hello There!

Great question you asked!

Why did the articles of confederation fail? In the articles of confederation, there was only 1 type of branch which was the legislative branch. There was no executive or judicial branch. Also, congress was not able to trade with any foreign countries so this cause a lot of economic disorganization. Another thing that congress could not do was levy taxes or regulate trade so that caused the issue of them having no money so they could not enforce a military. One last thing is that all the thirteen states at this time had to agree on an amendment in order for the amendment to pass, but that was kind of impossible because these states had rivalry with each-other.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
