How did the Pennsylvania Mutiny highlight Congress’s weakness under the Articles of Confederation?

In 1783, unpaid Continental Army soldiers surrounded the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia to demand back pay. Congress asked Pennsylvania to protect it, but the state government did not act, and Congress had no independent power to compel the state or raise the money needed to pay the soldiers. This showed Congress’s weakness and inability to help soldiers seeking payment for their service.
