“So long as any individual state has power to defeat the measures of the other 12, our pretended Union is but a name, and our confederation, a cobweb.” - Noah Webster
What big issue did Noah Webster find with the Articles of Confederation?
Noah Webster found that the big issue with the Articles of Confederation was the lack of centralized power. He argued that if any individual state had the power to undermine the decisions and actions of the other twelve states, then the supposed Union was merely a meaningless concept and the confederation was weak and ineffective.
