The Articles of Confederation The Articles of Confederation was a document that recognized the national government functions after the United States confirmed its independence from Great Britain. One of the issues with the article of confederation is that it prevented most of the single states from having their external diplomacy. After the Declaration of Independence, the continental congress realized that there was a need for a national government. There were disagreements on whether the government will be state-by-state or proportional. These different opinions caused a delay in the final dialogues regarding the confederation until 1777(“Milestones: 1776–1783,” n.d).

The article of confederation also did not give congress the power to impose taxes on the citizens regardless of the debt that had been incurred due to the war. The federal government had issues conducting foreign policy because of its inability to…
