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.
Under the Articles of Confederation, it was left to the states to execute the laws passed by Congress. The federal government lacked the power to enforce laws directly, relying instead on the states to implement and adhere to congressional decisions. This structure contributed to significant weaknesses in governance, as states often prioritized their interests over national unity.
The American Articles of Confederation were ineffective primarily due to their lack of a strong central government, which left the national government unable to levy taxes, regulate trade, or enforce laws. This weakness led to financial instability and difficulties in addressing interstate disputes.

Ultimately, these limitations prompted the creation of the U.S. Constitution.
