Yes. The Articles of Confederation gave the states within the union almost unlimited power. This means that the national/central government was left with very little power. Probably the main reason that the Articles of Confederation was eliminated is that the central government had too little power to be effective at anything. It couldn't even coin money or regulate interstate trade, so any state could theoretically make their own money and put astronomical taxes on goods from other states.
