7. Why were they weaknesses? A. States had competing trade agreements with other states and foreign governments; this seriously limited the flow of trade, which then cut down on revenue coming in -> the economic depression deepens B. Congress was serving the interests of the STATES and not the people, or nation as a whole C. This was not a fair representation for the interests of large states because the small states had the advantage - during a vote they could cancel out what the delegation of large states may want as they were outnumbered D. With no unified central authority to control the competing interests of the states, each state carried on in the pursuit of its own interests; this led to infighting and instability politically and economically E. With no enforcement powers, Congress was unable to exert authority over the states to follow national laws, and those laws were ignored as a result F. It was virtually impossible to make the necessary changes to the government and fix the problems that resulted from all the weaknesses in the Articles G. The government couldn't pay off its war debts, it had limited funds to conduct its national business and it lost standing with other nations financially -> this contributes to the economic depression H. This made trade difficult between the states and foreign governments as multiple currencies ha to be exchanged -> this lessened the flow of trade -> which contributed to the economic depression I. With a lack of checks and balances, all roles and responsibilities fell onto one branch that could not handle it all and was intentionally designed to be weak J. When a conflict arose between states there was no objective government authority to settle the dispute K. This did not consider the interests of large states which could lose a vote for a law that would largely benefit smaller states; also, it was difficult to reach the necessary number to get the law approved
