Aside from the Revolutionary War being underway, the problem with the Articles was that they required unanimousratification, i.e. by all thirteen states. This was not accomplished until 1781.
Most of the states did not agree with it unless they benefited from it, and they did not care how it affected the other states. Maryland especially wanted Virginia and New York to drop their claims to the Ohio Valley.
Maryland delayed the ratification of the Articles of Confederation. The state of Maryland had an issue with larger states, such as Virginia, laying claim to land in the West. The Articles were finally ratified on March 1, 1781.
The major issue that delayed ratification of the Articles of Confederation was taxation. Congress did not have the power to enforce taxation.

Unlike the later United States Constitution, the Articles of Confederation required that all (then 13) states ratify the agreement before it could be put into effect. The ratification of the Articles of Confederation dragged on for over three years, stalled because many states refused to ratify it until specific conditions were met.
