Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress did not have the authority to b. maintain armed forces. The Articles of Confederation, which were in effect from 1781 to 1789, created a weak central government with limited powers. The inability to maintain a standing army was seen as a deliberate attempt to prevent the central government from having too much power, based on concerns about standing armies posing a threat to individual liberties.
