To begin your response, identify your country, its type of government, and the parts of its government. write your paragraph in this space.

According to administrative law, a government is a collection of persons who have the power to rule over a region. A country, a state or province within a region, or a country can all be considered territory.

The country: The United States of America (USA)

The type of Government: The United States is a "federal constitutional representative democracy," to be precise. "Federal constitutional republic" is another term for it.

When you want to get particularly specific with your description, these two terms can help. It's technically correct to refer to our government as a "federal constitutional republic" or "federal constitutional democracy," but it's definitely overkill. These terms simply aid in the definition of our governmental structure, particularly when compared to other countries.

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
