Freedom of petition is the right to?
It's the right to ask your representative(s) in congress for something you want. The longer version is "petition Congress for redress of grievances" which means asking Congress to fix a problem you're complaining about. It's probably hard for you to believe that in former times (before the U.S. Constitution) even this right was not usually guaranteed by governments. But they had to write it into the Constitution for a reason! In recent times, it has come to (often) mean the right to hire a lobbyist to talk to congresspeople for you, and sometimes to put up a billboard where Congresspeople might see it.
Why did the patriots find it hard to pay for the war of independence?
It was an inefficient military system for an organized national effort. Washington could never depend on having enough trained men or supplies. He continually inveighed against sending militia to fight his battles and by early 1776 had concluded that he needed an army enlisted for the duration of the war. Congress did not, as has often been charged, ignore his wishes. In October 1776 it voted a new establishment, superseding the plan developed for the army before Boston in 1775 and haphazard arrangements made in the interim for raising Continental regiments in various states. This establishment was to contain 88 battalions of infantry, or about 60,000 men, enlisted to serve three years or "during the present war," with each state assigned a quota in proportion to its population under the system set up in the Articles. After the disastrous retreat across New Jersey in December 1776, Congress went further and authorized an additional 22 battalions to be recruited by Washington's officers directly into the Continental service. These 110 battalions remained the authorized strength of the Continental Army until 1781, when Congress cut it to 59.
