Answer and Explanation:

This was one of the biggest issues with the articles of Confederation.

After just breaking away from England, for obvious reasons the founding fathers were wary about putting together another strong central government. So they went as limited as they could.

No president, even though Congress had a president it was mostly so that somebody could start the meetings.

Changing anything for the most part took a unanimous vote.

And no executive branch for enforcement.

So it was up to the states to be their own enforcement. For example if there was a debt, it was up to the states to collect their portion and turn it in. If there was a need for an army it was up to the states to submit their portion of people.

International issues and treaties were a nightmare. First you had to get everyone's approval, and then even if a state approved something and decided not to follow it, there was no way to enforce it. So for example if Congress passed a law that they wouldn't trade for bananas from Brazil for some reason, if a state was approached to just say screw it and trade, gaining that Monopoly and Congress had no way of stopping them.

The articles of the confederation the congress was dependent on the states to enforce the laws.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first written constitution of the United States. Written in 1777 and stemming from wartime urgency, its progress was slowed by fears of central authority and extensive land claims by states. It was not ratified until March 1, 1781. Under these articles, the states remained sovereign and independent, with Congress serving as the last resort on appeal of disputes. Significantly, The Articles of Confederation named the new nation “The United States of America.”
