Describe two of the main issues with the articles of confederation and their broader impect on the young nation

Two of the main issues with the articles of confederation were economic disorganization and lack of central leadership.

Explanation:

Because the articles of confederation set the US government up as a confederacy where the individual states retained a lot of their individual sovereignty, it was hard in the first few decades for there to be a consolidated economic system and a strong sense of central leadership. Each state in the Northeast especially worked towards their own aims instead of coordinating trade. For example, Connecticut opened its ports to England, but Massachusetts did not according to founding father James Madison. There was no common currency either, and the central government could only negotiate trade conditions with the Native American populations.
