==Weaknesses and Failures==
Though the Articles did have two early successes, its weaknesses were far greater. It established no [[executive]] to enforce laws, no [[army]] or [[navy]], no [[judiciary]], no national [[currency]], could not regulate [[trade]], no way to collect [[taxes]], and [[foreign policy]] was impossible. At the [[Mount Vernon Conference]] in 1785, [[George Washington]] called together elite statesmen (including [[Alexander Hamilton]], [[James Madison]], and [[George Mason]]) to discuss the Articles. At the Conference, they decided they were a failure and needed to be rewritten, calling for an [[Annapolis Convention]] the next year. At the Convention, only five states sent delegates. They proposed to meet in [[Philadelphia]] the next year.
