Articles of confederation conferred exclusive powers to the states. It made the central government weak. some of the severe flaws of the articles of confederation were, it allowed the states to amend laws and authorize them ti sign treaties and foreign policies with countries abroad, federal government was not authorized to rise money through taxes. There was no independent Supreme court which is unbiased and impartial in interpreting the law and applying it in a fair manner.
