I'm kind of at odds with the Grandson's lesson tonight. I'm thinking the Articles of Confederation sound pretty good up against what we live under now. It's all in the POV I guess, but I don't want to raise a Federal Government lover? What do you guys think about it?

The lesson text.

The Articles of Confederation united 13 independent states. The Articles gave the national government certain powers, but because Americans wanted to guard their newly won freedom, the national government they formed was weak.
Next come a list of weaknesses:

There was no strong national government.
At least nine of the 13 states had to agree on any law or decision.
No single leader controlled the government.
Congress could not raise a national army without the permission of the states.
Congress could not collect taxes.
Congress could not make laws about trade.
