Which statement is true of the Congress established by the Articles of Confederation?

The Articles of Confederation created a weak national government, with most power held by the states. Congress could not directly levy taxes, and there was no president to limit it. The Declaration of Independence was adopted before the Articles took effect, so Congress did not have the power to declare independence under them. Therefore, the true statement is that Congress had little power.
