Which of the following statements about Congress under the Articles of Confederation is true?

Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress had no power to tax citizens directly and depended on the states for money and military support. That weakness made it difficult to respond effectively to threats from foreign powers, so the true statement is that Congress was unable to deal with those threats. Congress also could not collect taxes from citizens or force the British to leave forts on American soil.
