Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government (including Congress) had limited power over the states. Congress could not force states to provide funds, including for paying federal judges. Let's analyze the other options: The Articles of Confederation had no federal courts (so options about federal courts are incorrect), and while Congress had trouble enforcing laws, that's more about general enforcement rather than a judicial system - specific problem like funding judges.

Answer:

C. Congress could not compel the states to send money to pay federal judges
