They didn't have a way to really enforce the laws, they were basically just an idea. They also didn't have the ability to tax, had no armed forces, and no central currency

axstarx54 · Answer

The government under the Articles of Confederation suffered from major weaknesses, including its inability to tax, enforce laws, regulate commerce, and raise a military. These limitations led to significant challenges in governance and weakened the nation's standing both domestically and internationally. Ultimately, these issues prompted the drafting of the U.S. Constitution to create a more effective central government.
