all 13 states needed to agree to amend the articles
congress taxed the states too heavily

First Question:
The Articles of Confederation established a weak central government with most power held by the states. So the statement "The Articles of Confederation gave the United States a strong central government" is false.
- The Air Force was created much later, so Congress couldn't create an Air Force under the Articles.
- The Articles of Confederation did not give Congress the power to collect taxes (states had that power).
- Congress was given the power to make war and peace treaties under the Articles of Confederation.
- To amend the Articles of Confederation, all 13 states had to agree, which was a major weakness as it made amending very difficult.
- Congress had no power to tax under the Articles, so it couldn't tax states heavily.
- There's no evidence Congress overspent on the military under the Articles.
- The Articles had no relation to relying on the Magna Carta.
