Under the Articles of Confederation, states retained significant powers, including the authority to regulate their own commerce, impose taxes, and maintain their own militias. They also had the ability to establish laws and govern domestic affairs without interference from the federal government. Additionally, states could enter into treaties and alliances with other states or foreign powers, although such actions were subject to limitations imposed by the Articles. Overall, the Articles emphasized state sovereignty, which ultimately contributed to challenges in creating a cohesive national government.

Executive and Judicial Branch
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.
