1.What problems did the new nation experience under the Articles of Confederation?-the Second Continental Congress created one without sufficient power to govern effectively-the greatest weakness of the federal government under the Articles of Confederation was its inability to regulate trade and no national currency and levy taxes (could ask that states contribute to the national government but couldnÃÂt force them to)-The government could not pay off the debts it had incurred during the revolution, including paying soldiers who had fought in the war and citizens who had provided supplies to the cause.
-Congress could not pass needed measures because they lacked the nine-state majority required to become laws.
-The states largely ignored Congress, which was powerless to enforce cooperation, and it was therefore unable to carry out its duties.
