The national government under the Articles of Confederation had limited powers, primarily focused on conducting foreign affairs, making treaties, and handling issues related to war and peace. It did not have the power to tax, enforce laws directly, or regulate commercial policy effectively. So, among the options listed, the correct answers would be:

- conducting foreign affairs
- commercial policy (to a limited extent, but not effectively)

However, the most definitive power listed is "conducting foreign affairs." The national government lacked the authority to directly enforce laws or taxation.
