Hey so, we actually can’t pay you because we have no money, so you’ll be fighting with no pay!
We need money though! Are you guys that broke.
the early U.S. Congress did not have the power to pay soldiers because it lacked the constitutional authority to levy taxes or compel states to provide funds.

Hey! I was able to make peace and sign treaties, everyone will for sure enforce it.
Congress could negotiate and sign treaties with foreign nations, but it had no executive officials (like a president or federal marshals) to force states or citizens to obey them.
You know we have NO power to enforce treaties, right?

Hey we were able to borrow some money from another state!
Omggg we basically just taxed them!
The national Congress could not tax individual citizens or levy taxes directly on states because it lacked the legal authority and was limited to making voluntary financial requests.
We didn’t tax them, we’re gonna have to return the money soon, you morons
