Explanation:

Pinckney of South Carolina suggested the revision of the Confederation Articles by Congress in May 1786. By appointing a panel to draft changes to the Articles, Congress responded. On 7 August 1786, those amendments have been drawn up by the committee, written mainly by the chairman, Pinckney. Pursuant to Articles of Confederation, power of central government remained quite limited.

The Congress of Confederation could take decisions, but there was a lack of enforcement powers. The implementation of majority of decisions, including amendments, required the universal approval of legislature of all 13 states.
