The United States faced a large number of problems as a new nation. There were thirteen colonies at that time and they claimed their independence from the oppressive authority of the British government and once they did that they build an organized framework to create a government that will keep these thirteen nation states together. However, the Articles of Confederation failed to be an organized document. It had many shortcomings specifically related to finance and military. There was no strong federal government, the Congress had no power to tax and they were depended on states for the budget. This limited authority became the reason for people to demand stability and made way for the framing of the Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation.
