Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government had limited power. Congress lacked the authority to enforce its own laws, which was a fundamental flaw. The other options: the Articles had no federal courts (so first two about federal courts are incorrect), and the issue of paying judges wasn't the key judicial system problem here. The core problem was Congress's inability to enforce laws.

Answer:

D. Congress could not enforce its own laws (Note: Assuming the last option is D; if options are labeled differently, adjust the label but the text is "Congress could not enforce its own laws")
