The Confederation government, established by the Articles of Confederation, lacked a standing military force. Instead, it relied on state militias for defense and had no authority to raise a national army or impose taxes to support one. This decentralized military structure often hampered the Confederation's ability to respond effectively to threats, as states were reluctant to contribute troops or resources for national purposes. Ultimately, the weaknesses in military organization highlighted the need for a stronger federal government, leading to the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
The Confederation government, particularly in the context of the United States under the Articles of Confederation, had a very weak military force. It relied primarily on state militias for defense and could not maintain a standing army or compel states to contribute troops or resources. This lack of centralized military authority hindered its ability to respond effectively to external threats and internal conflicts. Ultimately, the weaknesses in military organization contributed to calls for a stronger federal government, leading to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
