Answer 1

Under the Articles of Confederation, the government primarily lacked the power of regulating commerce. While the Articles allowed Congress to declare war and negotiate with foreign countries, it did not grant the federal government the authority to regulate trade between the states or with foreign nations, which led to significant economic difficulties.
