The Articles of Confederation limited the powers of the national government to prevent tyranny, although it faced challenges despite these restrictions.
The Articles of Confederation limited the powers of the national government by granting states the right to govern their residents while restricting the central government to actions like declaring war, coining money, and conducting foreign affairs. However, the central government lacked the authority to impose taxes, regulate commerce, or raise an army, hindering its ability to defend the nation or pay debts.
These limitations were intentionally designed to prevent a repeat of an oppressive monarchy. Despite these weaknesses, the government under the Articles of Confederation managed to win a war against a powerful nation in the 18th century.
