in my opinion in no particular order.
-No centralized currency, each state had its own.
-Federal Government could not settle debts from the Revolution.
-States individually negotiated foreign policy.
-The amendment process was nearly impossible with 100% of states required to approve changes.
-The federal government had no means to stifle internal rebellion or violence.
-Congress could pass laws, but no way to enforce laws.
-No population-based representation.
-Resulting tariff wars between states.
