One administrative weakness under the Articles of Confederation was the government couldn't maintain order.

Further Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was America's first constitution after becoming independent from British rule. The goal of this constitution was to make a government that gave state governments a significant amount of power. One reason why the delegates wanted to give the states more power was due to the fact that the Americans disliked a very powerful central government when they were colonists. In fact, one of the most significant reasons for America's decision to declare independence was the tyranny of the British parliament and King George III (aka the central government).

Even though this constitution was made with the best of intentions, it failed miserably. The central (aka federal) government could not collect taxes, enforce federal laws, or even force states to pay off debts from the American Revolution. For these reasons, and many others, delegates met at the Constitutional Convention in order to edit the Articles of Confederation. Ultimately, the delegates decided to get rid of this constitution completely and replace it with a new constitution. The Constitutional Convention resulted in the creation of the US Constitution we use today.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
