One feature of the Articles of Confederation was that the government had no chief
executive, such as a president or king. As a result, the government under the
Articles suffered from a lack of leadership since there was no single leader.
 What experiences from 1763 to 1776 would have made Americans fearful of a
president or a king?
 Why, then, do you think this feature was included in the Articles of
Confederation?
of the Articles of Confederation B
A new federal
law…
YES? NO?
One feature of the Articles of Confederation was that new laws needed to be
approved by nine of the thirteen states. This was included in the Articles because
the delegates to the Continental Congress wanted to protect the rights of states and
did not want the central (federal) government to become too powerful. With this
feature, new laws would have to be agreeable to nine of the states instead of a
simple majority of seven.
 What possible problems do you think this feature might have created?
of the Articles of Confederation C
One feature of the Articles of Confederation was that Congress did not have the
power to tax its citizens directly; instead, it could only request money from the
states. This created financial problems because states often did not pay what was
requested of them by the federal (central) government.
 What experiences from 1763 to 1776 would have made Americans reluctant to
allow Congress to tax citizens directly?
Confederation?
of the Articles of Confederation D
power to draft men into the Continental Army; instead, it could only request states
to send men into military service. The delegates to the Continental Congress were
fearful that a federal (central) government with a powerful army might take away
the rights of citizens, as the British army had done to them.
of the Articles of Confederation E
National Courts
One feature of the Articles of Confederation was that there was no national court
system. Instead, each state had its own court system. Disputes between states had
to be settled in one of the states’ courts. The delegates to the Continental Congress
provided for no national court system because they believed that a national court
may be unfair to the rights of states.
of the Articles of Confederation F
Change the
federal
government…
YES? NO?
One feature of the Articles of Confederation was that any amendments, or changes,
to the Articles required the approval of all 13 states. This made changes to the
Articles nearly impossible – any single state could prevent a change that the rest of
the nation wanted.
Confederation?
of the Articles of Confederation G
power to collect state debts (money owed) to the federal (central) government. The
delegates to the Continental Congress wanted to ensure that the federal government
could not force states to pay for things that the states did not want.
of the Articles of Confederation H
power to settle disputes among states. The Articles guaranteed that each state would
keep its individual power, freedom, and independence. As a result, Congress did not
have the power to help states work out conflicts among them, and states became
increasingly disunited.
