all of these

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation had multiple weaknesses. It lacked an independent executive leader (no president - like figure to direct the government). It did not grant the national government the power to regulate interstate or international commerce. Also, the national government had no direct power to tax (could only request money from states), so it had no effective means to raise money. All these factors contributed to its failure.

all of these
