Answer 2

Answer:

The statement 'the powers of Congress were weak' best describes a "weakness" of the "Articles of Confederation".

Explanation:

• Though the Articles of Confederation were implementable and sound enough to build a strong national government and a stable economy, the powers bestowed upon the Congress to enforce these articles were surprisingly limited.

• The Articles were so written, that they only gave Congress the power to pass laws but not the powers to enforce the laws that were passed by them.
