The Articles of Confederation were weak because they did not give Congress the power to tax, leading to financial instability and debt issues for the national government. This resulted in several consequences, including difficulties in international relations and the inability to pay off debts from the Revolutionary War. Therefore, the best answer to the question is option A.
