The simple answer is "legislative", though more appropriately "Congress". This is, however, slightly misleading. The Articles of Confederation set up a government with ONLY one body, a unicameral (one-house) Congress, so it's hardly proper to speak of a "branch". Rather ALL governmental functions it had - legislative, executive or judicial - divided amongst three branches under the Constitution, rested with this body. Nonetheless, the Congress was primarily a LEGISLATIVE body, comprised of a delegation from each state (the delegation of each state could have from two to seven members, though each delegation only had ONE vote in the body's deliberations). Congress did also have some executive and judicial [Article 9] functions, albeit VERY limited ones. This body was essentially a continuation of the Second Continental Congress and functioned in much the same way. (The executive limitations of this government, that is, the lack of authority to ENFORCE [execute!]legislation, esp. to compel the payment of taxes to support the national government, became one of the major arguments for the Constitution with its addition of a separate, and stronger executive. As for taxes, under the Articles Congress [designated "the United States, in Congress assembled"] would determine the taxes due from each state, but it was up to the states' own legislatures to enforce their collection and hand it over to the national government.)

they only had one branch, which was the Legislative branch. Also, they were in debt.
The Confederation Congress became the legislative branch of government established by the Articles of Confederation. It was too weak because it had insufficient powers to enforce the laws that were passed.
They weren’t. The articles didn’t have a branch of government. That is set up in the constitution.
