The Articles of Confederation are less known for providing powers to Congress than dictating what it was that the States could not do without Congress' consent. Still, it did enumerate quite a few powers exclusive to Congress:
To declare war (and peace),
To appoint and regulate officers of the land and naval forces,
To build a navy,
To set the size of the naval and land forces (to be fulfilled by the States),
To establish rules and courts for the regulation of privateering,
To send ambassadors,
To entering into treaties and alliances (that didn’t affect States to regulate foreign commerce),
To settle, as a last resort, disputes and differences between two or more States concerning boundary and jurisdictional disputes,
To settle controversies concerning private land holders’ rights when the land is disputed by two or more States,
To fix the standards of weights and measures,
To regulate the trade and affairs with Native Americans (without violating State sovereignty),
To establish and regulate post offices,
To set the budget for the United States (to be fulfilled by the States)
To borrow money, and
To appoint a “caretaker” committee during Congressional recesses.
But despite having all of these “powers,” Congress required permission from the States in order to act on most of them.
