Articles Of Confederation Ineffective
The Articles of Confederation problems led to an ineffective government, Congress did not really set a true equal voting power between the states. The larger states were richer and more populated. They wanted more power, this was a problem. Next “the Congress could not levy taxes.” Each state gave what they wanted to give.

The debt was growing and “had to be repaid.” More money was requested to finance the debt but was not the answer because more money was less and thus money lost its value. “If, at that time the debt was not repaid some people were not allowed to vote in most states.”
To pass laws, the votes had to be nine states, the votes were hard to get. A number of states would not even send representatives to Congress. An anonymous vote of all the thirteen states was necessary to change the Articles of Confederation. At least one state would always object to an increase in power. The Articles had too many problems to be revised. The states agreed to hold a convention to revise the Articles, they could not revise them. A new constitution had to be written. A few men got together to write them. When these men got together this time they had God in the room with them. God blessed those men with the wisdom to write the Constitution of the United States.
My grandmother says a lot of people don’t like or respect our President. We are a family that is proud of him. We pray for him, his family and government leaders. We thank God for
them.
