The Articles of Confederation gave all the power to the individual states, and none to the Congress. The Congress could not collect taxes, settle arguments among the states, collect national debts, or even enforce any of its own laws. However, the Thirteen State Governments could print their own money (which caused a lot of confusion because of the unknown values of each state's currency), choose whether or not to collect taxes, and form its own individual militia.

Colonial leaders such as Ben Franklin and George Washington believed that the Articles seperated the country. Ben Franklin created his famous "Join or Die" cartoon for this reason.
