Name two weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. For each weakness explain how that weakness led to the writing of the US Constitution.
Format your answer as follows:
1. Naming the first weakness, then the explanation of how that weakness led to the writing of the US Constitution
2. Naming the second weakness, then the explanation of how that weakness led to the writing of the US Constitution
(4 points)
1. One weakness of the Articles of Confederation was the lack of a strong central government. Under the Articles, the federal government had limited power and could not effectively enforce laws or regulate trade between states. This weakness became apparent during Shays' Rebellion, where a group of farmers in Massachusetts rebelled against high taxes and debt. The central government was unable to raise an army to suppress the rebellion, highlighting the need for a stronger federal government. This led to the writing of the US Constitution, which established a stronger central government with powers to enforce laws, regulate trade, and maintain order.
2. Another weakness of the Articles of Confederation was the lack of a unified national currency and the inability to regulate commerce effectively. Each state had its own currency and trade regulations, making interstate commerce difficult and hindering economic growth. Additionally, foreign nations did not take the United States seriously as a unified entity in international trade. The need for a uniform currency, a central authority to regulate commerce, and a stronger presence in international trade negotiations became evident. As a result, the US Constitution was written to grant the federal government the power to regulate commerce, establish a national currency, and negotiate trade agreements.

The Articles of Confederation had some problems. One was that there wasn't a strong central government, so they couldn't really enforce laws. This caused issues during Shays' Rebellion, where the government couldn't stop the rebels. That's why they wrote the US Constitution to make a stronger government.
Another issue was that each state had its own money and trade rules. This made it hard to do business between states and with other countries. The US Constitution fixed that by giving the government the power to regulate trade, make a national currency, and do international trade deals.
