a independent executive branch
Under the Articles of Confederation, the American government was not even granted the power to tax as a way to raise revenue, very much unlike the American government under the US Constitution. The only way they could raise funds was by asking for money from the states, from foreign powers, or by selling off lands in the west.

Drafted during the years 1776 and 1777, while the colonists were still fighting for independence, the Articles of Confederation created a weak national government with most of the governmental powers retained by the states. The Articles provided no separation of branches. There was no president or any other independent executive, nor was there a federal judicial branch. Congress, the legislature, was the only branch of government. Members elected to congress did not vote as individuals, but as states. While congress did have some powers, it could not enforce its laws on the states or the people. States were permitted to coin their own money. There was no regulation of commerce between the states and states could even enter into treaties with foreign nations and declare war, “with the consent of Congress.” Congress could not tax the states or the people, it could only request funds to run the government.
There were 7 articles in the original Constitution.

Leaders around the time of the Articles of Confederation agreed that it was made to weak. It did not include powers such as the power to tax and the power to create a standing army. The main reason for wanting to change the Articles of Confederation was to create a document that would be strong enough to keep control of the country, but weak enough that the government would not turn into a monarchy or dictatorship.
