How is the national government supposed to obtain soldiers under the articles of confederation?
Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government did not have the power to raise a standing army directly. Instead, it relied on the states to provide soldiers when needed, often through a system of voluntary enlistment or by calling upon state militias. The federal government could request troops from the states, but it had limited authority to enforce these requests, making it challenging to maintain a consistent military force. This reliance on state militias reflected the overall weakness of the national government under the Articles.

Why did convention delegates decide t keep the proceedings secret?
The Constitutional Convention exceeded its authority in writing a new Constitution and it was feared that if deliberations on a new Constitution were to be found out, the Convention would be dissolved. The Convention was supposed to work out amendments to the Articles of Confederation that would keep that document in effect but improve on its inherent weaknesses. It was soon apparent to the delegates that saving the Articles of Confederation by amendment was hopeless, so they began to create a new form of government entirely. This was a task, the delegates had no authority to do.
In a confederation is the national government stronger than the state governments?
No, not usually. Each member state is supposed to maintain its own leadership except in certain important matters such as defense and interstate commerce.
