ANSWER: The Articles of Confederation is a form of government set in place by 13

Confederation. Congress had trouble passing laws due to the fact that 9 of the 13
states had to agree before any laws could be passed. Since there was no president or
an executive branch, there was no way to make sure that laws passed by Congress
were carried out. There were no courts to interpret laws or to judge those that broke
them because a national court system did not exist. To make matters worse,
changing the Articles of Confederation was nearly impossible. A unanimous vote of
all 13 states were required before any changes could be made.
