Explanation:

1. Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no national court system, so settling state - to - state disputes was hard. So this option is correct.
2. The Articles required a super - majority for many actions, making it easy for states to block laws, so Congress passed few laws. This option is correct.
3. The states had more power, and Congress had limited law - making ability, so the states would not complain about too many new laws. This option is incorrect.
4. The national government's limited powers made it seem weak internationally. This option is correct.
5. Congress had no power to tax states directly and could not force states to give money. This option is correct.
6. Congress didn't have the power to tax, so the idea of states resisting tax collection efforts (as Congress couldn't collect taxes) is wrong. This option is incorrect.
7. The national government couldn't force states to provide troops, so states could refuse. This option is correct.
