(3) many states refused to pay the full amount of taxes requested by congress. (4) congress never had enough money to run the government, settle its debts, and pay its soldiers.

Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no executive (president) to enforce laws. There were no federal - level courts to handle state - to - state or citizen - to - citizen disputes. Congress had no power to tax effectively, so states could refuse to pay requested taxes, leading to Congress having insufficient funds.
