the president had too much power.
d.

D. The powers of Congress were weak.

This Consitution was characterized for giving too much power to the states at the expense of a weak Congress that had few powers such as to make treaties and alliances, to appoint military officers, to control Indian affairs, and to regulate foreign affairs, war, and the postal service, but it gave it not power to tax. They could only get money by asking funds to the states (which can refuse to do so), and by selling lands.
