In what way were the Articles of Confederation successful?

The Articles of Confederation did not give Congress the power to tax, so it struggled to raise money to pay soldiers. Nor could the national government reliably solve foreign policy problems. However, it successfully established a process for organizing and governing western lands through measures such as the Northwest Ordinance, so the correct choice is “They allowed the national government to resolve land issues in the western territories.”
