I need help analyzing and assessing the effectiveness of the Articles of Confederation in dealing with national problems of the 1780s and 90s.My...

The Articles of Confederation really failed to address the
problems the U.S. faced in the 1780’s and 1790’s. The Articles of Confederation failed
because they did not give Congress and the national government enough power.  The new
United States just fought a war to end what they considered tyrannical rule of a strong
government that overpowered local government and the leaders of the U.S. feared a
powerful central government.  Because of this, they did not give the central government
the power it needed to rule effectively.  It did not give Congress the power to tax, so
the government ended up printing money which caused inflation. It did not give Congress
the power to draft troops, so the U.S. military was small leaving the U.S. weak. 
Congress did not have the power to control interstate commerce or stop states from
printing their own money, causing economic chaos within the U.S. The Articles did not
give Congress the power to place tariffs on foreign goods, hurting American businesses
that could not compete with cheaper British goods. The U.S. government had no chief
executive so there was no one to enforce the laws that were passed.  The list can go on.
With the rebellion led by Daniel Shays in Massachusetts, the leaders of the U.S.
realized the Articles were not working which led to the Constitutional Convention where
the Articles were abandoned and the new U.S. Constitution was written, which addressed
many of the problems found with the Articles.
