Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government was weak. It couldn't enforce treaties as it lacked strong authority. Also, it had no power to intervene when radical factions influenced state - governments due to its limited power. Foreign commerce suffered not because of too many restrictive national policies but because of the lack of a unified commercial policy. And the Articles gave very little power to the executive branch, not too much.

Answer:

Correct Answer(s): The U.S. government could not enforce treaties.; The U.S. government had no power to intervene when radical factions began influencing some state governments.
Incorrect Answer(s): Foreign commerce suffered because the national government had too many restrictive policies.; It gave too much power to the president and the executive branch.
