The Articles of Confederation was important because it –

• provided every citizen in America the right to vote

• the Supreme Court held ultimate power over the government

• unalienable rights of the people were revoked

The Articles of Confederation did not allow the federal government to levy taxes on citizens. This led to -

• states taxing their citizens then giving all their funds to the federal government

• the federal government seizing lands from Loyalist during the American Revolution to generate revenue

• the federal government being unable to pay off its war debts

• a protest by members of congress because of their lack of funding
