Which of the following was a major weakness of the Articles of Confederation? The President was given total power. The states were left with almost no power. The national government could tax citizens. The national government was not strong enough to do their job.

The correct answer is **The national government was not strong enough to do their job.**<br /><br />The Articles of Confederation created a weak central government with very limited powers. This led to several problems, including an inability to enforce laws, collect taxes effectively, regulate trade, and maintain a standing army. These weaknesses ultimately led to the drafting of the Constitution.<br />
