Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government had the power to conduct foreign affairs. However, it did not have the power to levy taxes, enforce laws, or regulate commercial policy effectively. The lack of these powers contributed to the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and eventually led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
