Why was it hard to get laws passed under the articles of confederation? a) to pass a law, all states needed to agree. b) to pass a law, 9 of 13 states needed to agree. c) the president could veto a law before it was passed. d) the supreme court could rule any law unconstitutional.

Passing a law under the Articles of Confederation was extremely difficult. To do so required 9 of 13 states needed to agree., meaning that very few laws ever got passed. But remember a few things: 1) the founders of the Articles of Confederation did not want Congress to have much power and 2) there was no President and no Judicial Branch under the Articles.

It was hard to pass a law under the article of the federation because 9 out of the 13 states need to agree before any law can be passed. This implies the correct answer is B.

The articles of confederation was the first constitution of the United States. The first constitution contains information about the power, functions, and limitation of the United States government.

The articles of confederation accorded more power to the state government at the expense of the Federal government and the articles were in operation until 1789 when it was replaced.

The articles of confederation have some weakness, for example, the passing of laws was very difficult and time consuming because 9 out of the 13 states must approve it and also, the approval of all the 13 states are required before the articles of confederation can be amended.

There was no executive or judicial arm of government under the articles of confederation and this made it difficult to settle any dispute between the states. The lack of the executive branch also made it impossible for the national government to enforce its laws.

The national government was so weak that it lacks the power to tax citizens and states are also allowed to ignore any federal law if they so desires.
