Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government was fearful that if the US went to war that the government would not be able to raise a military.
Further Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation was America's first constitution after becoming free from Great Britain. This constitution was made with a weak central government and gave a majority of power to state governments. This structure would cause several problems for the American federal government.
Technically speaking, the federal government could not tax citizens an could not raise an army. This is due to the fact that:
A) State governments were given the ability to tax, not the federal government.
B) State governments were not forced to follow laws passed by the federal government.
This worried the delegates within Congress, as this meant that state governments could ignore the federal government. It soon became evident, thanks to Shay's Rebellion, that a violent conflict or war could ruin the United States. Since the federal government could not put down a rebellion of American farmers successfully, the delegates could only imagine how unprepared the US would be if they got into a war with another country. This is one of the reasons why the Articles of Confederation would be replaced with the US Constitution at the Constitutional Convention.
