The statement that best describes a weakness of the Articles of Confederation is:

**Congress had limited powers; Congress could not regulate trade and Congress did not have the power to tax.**

This accurately highlights the primary issues with the Articles of Confederation, as the lack of taxation power and the inability to regulate interstate and foreign trade significantly hindered the federal government's ability to function effectively.
