The one obstacle to approving the Articles of Confederation was that some states refused to relinquish their claims west of the Appalachians. Doing this would have left the settlers in a financial limbo.

Yes. The Articles of Confederation gave the states within the union almost unlimited power. This means that the national/central government was left with very little power. Probably the main reason that the Articles of Confederation was eliminated is that the central government had too little power to be effective at anything. It couldn't even coin money or regulate interstate trade, so any state could theoretically make their own money and put astronomical taxes on goods from other states.
The articles of confederation gave power to the states and left very little power for the federal government.
The congress of the confederation could not tax. The could request tax, but they had no authority. The government went into debt.
The Articles of Confederation was a very poor document. Its overall structure gave too much power to individual states which left the national government weak and unable to effectively carry through with anything.
No. One of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation was that it made no provision for a federal court system. Article III of the US Constitution, which replaced the Articles of Confederation, required that Congress establish the Supreme Court. In other words, the Constitution said the government had to have a supreme court, but didn't directly create one. It left that task to Congress.

Federal gov't could declare war, coin money, and regulate international trade. The rest was left for the state gov'ts
But the Articles left most important powers to the states. These powers included the authority to set taxes and enforce national laws. The Articles proposed to leave the states in control of the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains .

The Articles left most of the power in the state governments due to fears of recreating a strong central power like the British Monarchy. A+LS: within the states
