Yes AND no, depending of which angle you are asking from.

It is no, due to the fact that the Articles of Confederation created/built a very weak government, which is the complete contrast of what Federalism is; which it's based upon a strong centralized government.

It is yes if you are asking whether or not it helped in the rise of Federalism. When it created a weak U.S. government in which nothing was properly functioning as it should be. Debts were not being paid off, the rights given were too vague to interpret, and certain states were given more power than others. Thus, it created alarm and added onto the support of Federalism, the idea of a stronger central government.

The question is a bit vague on which direction it's heading so I hope this answer helps you out.
