Articles of Confederation

The articles of confederation was a huge turning point for many Americans because it represented a greater future for those subjected to the rulings of a stranger. This attempt at the creation of a constitution was great because it allowed American colonists to have liberty from, what they thought to be, unlawful rulings. Also, it allowed them an opportunity to create a better life because they could travel freely between the Union's boundaries. Although this was great, the articles of confederation had some major flaws. One of these was the fact that they couldn't pull together one army because each state had their own troops, which meant their own agenda. Also with the Articles of Confederation, it was extremely hard to tax, which was necessary in order to get the nation stable again from war.
