What kind of military force did the conferation government have?

The Confederation government, particularly in the context of the United States under the Articles of Confederation, had a very weak military force. It relied primarily on state militias for defense and could not maintain a standing army or compel states to contribute troops or resources. This lack of centralized military authority hindered its ability to respond effectively to external threats and internal conflicts. Ultimately, the weaknesses in military organization contributed to calls for a stronger federal government, leading to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
