Why couldn’t the thirteen united states fight for independence against britain before the articles of confederation? they couldn’t raise a national army.
they needed to be able to enforce laws.
they couldn’t declare war.
they needed military strength.

the answer is:

they couldn’t raise a national army.

if you have no nation, how could you raise a national army? that would be a civil war, not an independence war, the states neede to first form a nation together and then they could fight for independende.
