Yes, especially considering they did away with it after about ten years. They, unlike you, were able to learn from their mistakes. It was a noble idea in principle, but it just didn't work.
That you would scoff at important antecedent portions of our nations founding principles, demonstrates a shallowness in your own understanding and appreciation of american history.
Wlat, is that you? LOL - I did not "scoff" at any part of our founding principles, I "scoffed" at your deliberate misuse and twisting of the words in those documents to support your own purposes. BTW, I'm starting to think you are Wlat using another screen-name.
Since you made this statement perhaps you could point to the specific Article of Confederation that deals with executive power.
To be correct, I said "president". There were "presidents" under the Articles of Confederation. Look at Article IX (Rights Granted The Federal Government): "The United States in Congress assembled shall have authority to appoint a committee,...to appoint one of their members to preside, provided that no person be allowed to serve in the office of president more than one year in any term of three years" - LOL.

AoC Article IX details the powers of Congress of the United States. There were no Executive powers enumerated under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union.
The Pesident of Cngress referred to in the AoC would be the equivalent to the Speaker of the House under US Constitution.
I'm beginning to suspect that you don't really understand the US constitution or the seperation of powers enumerated therein. Your failure to recognize the role of the Court to ajudicate disputes between the states leads you (and others) to make statements like this one.
"They did not see secession as something requiring any Court action. It was simply a right, and they did it."
A group of midgits get together, and They decide they are tall. Does that mean the rest of us have to believe them?
