Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation created a weak federal government. Under it, the federal government had limited powers. It could not force states to do things like pay for a project or complete it. It could only ask for help, and states could refuse. Also, the federal government under the Articles did not have the power to prevent trade between states.

Answer:

The federal government could ask for help from states, but they could refuse.
