Suppose you were a policeman with as much power to enforce the law as Congress had under the Article Of Confederation to enforce taxes and raise troops. What sort of tool would best fit your powers?

Both depend on the support of the citizens to enforce the law, raise taxes and raise troops. The writers of the Articles of Confederation were representatives appointed by the individual states and were not elected. A policeman also has the backing of the government by law and by appointment by the local government.

Why did parliament raise taxes in the colonies after the French and Indian War?

The excuse given was that taxes helped pay for British troops in the thirteen colonies, who were alleged to be there to "defend" the colonists. However there had never been large numbers of British troops in the colonies before except when the colonies became a battleground in the wars between France and England. At other times the colonists were left to defend themselves, from the Indians, or from French troops when the wars got going, before any British troops arrived. But after the French and Indian War the French were ejected from all of North America. There WAS no danger such as had existed before that war. With the French gone, who could these British troops be meant to oppose? The only answer was that the colonists themselves were the object of interest for the British troops. One of the real reasons for the taxes was that Britain was broke, the Treasury empty. It had been expensive to fight the long war in North America, so far from Britain, as well as in Europe, and even in the Pacific, and, it was a colonial dispute between the British colonies and the French colonies that touched off the war. But the British gained immense territories from the war in the end. And the British had received a LOT of help from the men of the colonies, fighting in their militia and colonial units alongside the British Regulars. These American soldiers were supported by taxes paid in the colonies they came from, so from the American point of view the colonists had already paid heavily for the prosecution of the war, in blood and money.
