The Articles of Confederation could not establish a military because they lacked the authority to raise funds or levy taxes. This meant that the federal government had no means to recruit or maintain a standing army, relying instead on state militias for defense. Additionally, the Articles emphasized state sovereignty, which limited the central government's ability to compel states to contribute troops or resources. As a result, the national defense was weak and fragmented under the Articles.

Limitations of the Articles of Confederation?

I'm sure your textbook addresses that question is some detail but the two biggest ones were the lack of taxing authority and the lack of an executive authority. Because it could not levy taxes the congress could not raise its own money for national purposes. It could only ask the states for money and they often refused to give it. Because there was no executive the congress could not enforce whatever laws it passed. The states could, and did, ignore them if they wanted to. With that kind of weakness it was very difficult to get anything done. Michael Montagne you need boobs too
