Major differences concerning Congress under the Articles of Confederation (vs. the U.S. Constitution):
1) Congress is the ONLY "branch" of the national government. (There is no separate executive nor court system.)
2) Congress has only ONE house
3) Each state receives only ONE vote in Congress, no matter how many representatives it sends.
4) Congress has much more limited powers, esp. lacking the power to compel the payment of taxes. It can only make assessments of the states. requesting they pay.

True. Under the Articles of Confederation the government had no power to collect taxes.

Congress pass laws allowing for free passage between states
It is true that under the Articles of Confederation, Congress lacked the authority to make the states work together to solve national problems. After the states won independence in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), they faced all the problems of peacetime government.
Each state produced their own money under the articles and that was a major problem. There was no national currency.
