So that being the case, we can only comment on the following. All of the above-mentioned statements are true.

The Articles of Confederation gave the states too much power. Indeed, the states remained sovereign under the Articles and they were the ones who could collect money through taxes, The central government remained weak, And when Congress needed money, it had to ask for it from the states. Congress couldn't regulate trade between the states or foreign trade.
