He lacked the executive powers of the Constitution would invest in Washington and his successors, and he was powerless to enforce the measures of Congress, which were often ignored by the individual states…By 1786 the political weaknesses of the Articles were identified, and in 1789 the new Continental Congress had ruled the newly united states, and John Hanson, largely forgotten today, had the honor of being its first president.
